This release is pretty much like an existing peripheral revision. Impossible for an exchange program in Malaysia, it's even impossible for an exchange program worldwide.

ya lol is ok lucky am still in full hd tv and so no hdr for me, plan to upgrade to 4k tv once ps5 is out hahah

drive club, ps vr worlds and until dawn 50% off now

good thing I hold me horses during the merdeka sales and upgraded to Pro instead.

we can expect to see a price drop in PSVR1 when 2 is launched.

but for PSVR2, it's still a cable mess

May I know which cable connector is different? Is it the port on the PSVR unit itself or the one on the processor unit? Because if only on the processor unit, it should be fine with simply swapping the older model with the new one right?

my guess is the cable connector from the headset to the processor unit

hence you can't just swap out the processor without changing the headset

$ony as usual... changing connectors with version update

So if you wanna HDR passthru without HDMI switch or plug/unplug, then you'll have no choice to fork out extra for this V2

I see, that's sad. Maybe after some times, and the replacement parts are more readily available, some shops will offer to swap the older model's HDMI connector with the newer one.

But it's weird, since it's a pass-through connection. It should be between PS4, Processor Unit and TV only. hurm

That's $ony for you, being anal on the backward compatibility.

Let's be very clear here okay: this is just a revision replacement. There will be no price change for either models what so ever, other than promotions.

Think of it as the PS4's launch model vs 'C chassis'.


The cable from the headset is different, which is why it isn't backwards compatible.

Stated here:

PSV1000 vs PSV2000

it's a revision replacement as well, but there's price differences when 2k is launched.

those who don't mind no HDR passthru can wait for the v1 price drop

They technically could sell a special pack which comes with the new PU, and an adapter/converter for the V1 cable so it would fit... Though I doubt they'd be so nice to us who adopted early...

I'm being told by Sony MY that there is no change in SRP though....


$ony.

doesn't makes sense to me if they don't lower SRP of the v1

Given the same price, any potential buyer of course will buy the better v2, either they need HDR passthru or not

and without lowering the SRP of the v1 to promote sales, how are they gonna clear the existing stock?

and whoever holding a large stock of the v1 now, die la...

Damn, I bought ps4 pro and planning to get psvr1 on Friday.
Now should I buy or wait lol
No sign on when psvr2 launching here right?

Best price for psvr1 I saw is Heavy Arm selling the bundle at RM1599 with RM100 cash voucher.

If you need HDR passthru, and the so called better processor...
i would suggest you to wait, should be here in a month or two after the official Jp launch

Ah.. i cant wait to try it immediately, couldnt wait for 1 or 2 months
And i wont play with 4K TV most of the time, therefore HDR should be not an issue.

And newly launch wont get such price for bundle with Move.
Thanks for the reply, i have answer already

guys, don't forget they also will be releasing the v2 Move controllers around the same time, this time using micro USB to charge instead of the old PS3 era mini USB, and with larger batt capacity as well

was hoping they might use a type-C tho... but no

Got PSVR .. now waiting PSVR 2 with Hi res screen. But me thinks will be for the PS5.

I foresee a few additional problems with the PSVR v2.

Since the headphone cable has been streamlined together with the rest of the PSVR cables to cater for the integrated headset earphones, does that mean :

a) you can't plug in your own higher quality headphones anymore, right ?

Or the headphone jack is still available either on the processing unit or on the headset itself ?

b) if the answer to question a) above is no, then you are permanently stuck to using the headset integrated earphones for 3D positional audio, right ?


OK, I've taken a look at the headset renders, it seems to have a headphone jack on the headset behind the left ear.
The default earphones looks detachable with the yellow jack.
