Got pre-ordered from lazada today get RM200 public limited voucher spend minimum RM1200 so i got it at RM1600+ .

Is lazada authorized seller? Any link? If it's not from official/authorized dealer, I would advise everybody to stay away from Lazada. Very unreliable plus the demand of PSVR is crazy, better get it from authorized dealer.

Fulfilled by Game-Mart, which isn't one of the authorized dealer sad.gif
I usually avoid Lazada if it's not from the official store. Other stores usually just refund you if there's no stock for it, which means they don't guarantee it.
I asked several authorized game shop and they mention the stock will be very very limited, and none of them have any official info how many units they will be getting.


https://asia.playstation.com/my/en/psvr/preorder/preorder

Here's the info if anybody is interested.



Edit : Manage to find the seller of that lazada post, http://www.gamemart.com.my/products/(Pre-O...ober-2016)/1017

It's a store in Sungei Wang apparently.


Playstation Asia just updated a post in Facebook, apparently Malaysia won't be having any official online store selling PSVR sad.gif Authorized store listed on above.

SP&K game mart its in sungei wang I know them so no issue to me and yes limited stock they do refund and 1 thing the discount is doesnt own by them its lazada themselves.

So wish me good luck , lol.

That's my main concern, I don't mind paying the price but if any store I pre-ordered from last minute telling me they don't have any stock, by the time every store pre-order finished, I will most probably have to wait until 2017, which will piss me off sad.gif

is Sony Centre inside the list?Availability will probably be better than PS4. PS VR is more costly than a PS4, a next gen console.
*
Only KLCC and The Curve Sony Centre is in the list, the rest I'm not sure.

I really really hope that people are complaining the price is too expensive or VR is a gimmick so I can make sure that I will get one on launch.
US, UK and AU preordered sold out like crazy, mock up price in Ebay and they say it won't be available until 2017. Sony is doing a world wide launch for PSVR including China, Japan and SEA. That's crazy!

if you want more people to make noise, go make a troll thread in /k every day but it might backfire because all preorder quietly.

EXACTLY HAHAHA!
But so far I'm seeing a lot of people whining about the price or asking "hey does the RM1849 include PS4?"
God I really hope they didn't secretly preorder.


Edit : Anybody went to The Curve/KLCC to try it out? Thinking of traveling down to KL to try it out, want to know whether it is roadshow type of thing or demo in store.

Those who already pre-ordered, no need to test the demo unit kua? Either they'll be A) disappointed, and regret their pre-order (especially if paid in full already), B) not disappointed, which will then hype up their eagerness, but if there's not enuf stock for the first batch pre-order ... back to disappointment.  biggrin.gif

I'm guessing a lot of us secretly pre-ordered on the 28th itself even though officially pre-order starts from today, 30th.  Judging from the Gamers Hideout 28th July PS VR post comments (1.5K+ likes), a lot already pre-ordered (including Afdlin Shauki) from GH.  So, I went to another authorized focus partner, only 20+ likes, brows.gif ... straightaway pre-ordered.  However, the next day, received a message from them saying that there's no guarantee I'll receive the first batch as well (even tho paid in full, minus any shipping fee), coz more pre-ordered the RM1849 than the RM2029 set  ...  sad.gif

Anyway, depends on the allocation from Sony Malaysia (is Play Interactive involved?), I guess each focus partner will receive equal amount of PS VR units (unless GH can use their clout to get more?) ... so, those who really really wanna get their hands on PS VR on 13th October will have to hunt and choose wisely for a authorised seller with less pre-order ...  hmm.gif
Else, wait for discounted or lower than retail price from other sellers ... which might be 2nd batch.

Good luck to us (guinea pigs) all ...  thumbsup.gif

Did you inquire any information from GH though, guaranteed stock or something. Right now I'm putting my money on HeavyArms.

Asked them yesterday, so far none of the shop have any official information, they pretty much just estimate the amount and take refundable deposit. Store I've asked includes HeavyArms, Impulse, still waiting for GH to reply.

No ... didn't ask anything from GH coz most probably they were swamped with inquiries (especially 'is the price inclusive of a PS4 console?' question laugh.gif ).  Went to Maxlink, ... bought from them several times before so hopefully they'll give priority to 'loyal' customers, their service is good altho they charged shipping fee for extra free gifts.

Still disappointed tho, that Sony Asia didn't bring in the bundle like US and UK one ... 1 PS VR + 1 PS camera + 2 PS Moves + 1 VR game ... even tho I got PS camera already, the extra price could be similar to if I bought separately 2 new PS Moves.  Now just resigned to that fact, and looking out for 2nd hand PS Moves, and hoping that not many games require or are optimized for PS Moves.  I did ask Maxlink about the chances of 'upgrading' to a better package, if let's say suddenly Sony Asia announced that kind of package before 13th October ... they couldn't say.

So, you've pre-ordered from HeavyArms?
*
Only paid for the waiting list which is sort of like deposit, in the same boat with you owning the camera and missing PS move. Was hoping there will be some sort of VR + move considering that there are more customer with PS4+camera instead of PS4 + move. I guess they removed the VR game ( PS World VR ) to further reduce bundle cost since 400usd = RM1849, 500usd will be around RM2.2k, removing the game which is 40usd, dropping it down to RM2k.

On an extra note, apparently every PSVR game is playable with the dualshock controller becuase it has the lightbar thing, but some games are just better to be played with 2 move controller like London Heist in VR world, Job Simulator or Batman VR. I saw Robinson The Journey being demoed with a controller in some video.

That should be, else there would be PSVR+Moves bundle.  Yeap, some games are nicer to play with 2 PS Moves, add Media Molecule's Dreams to the list as well. 
However, I'm more interested in driving games which should be very immersive, so I guess a driving wheel controller for PS4 is of higher priority for me, since all VR games could be played with DS4.

Going against what I've said ... those who are going to try the PS VR, see if the cinematic mode is clear or not in all three modes (small, medium and 225" screen)?  cool2.gif  I suspect the resolution will be blurry in the 'bigger' screens modes.
*
Fortunately DriveclubVR confirmed to be coming after the departure of that studio.
Expect around 540~720p but honestly who cares, I used to play my PS4 using a projector, blurry but it is very enjoyable.

Sony Msia can't even get their hand on move controller for demo purposes?
Did you see the ps4 connected to the VR or is it like overseas demo the console is hidden inside a black box? Was really curious if they actually hook it up to a ps4 neo prototype instead of the normal PS 4?
*
It has been confirmed to be standard PS4 for atleast 5 times at this point. I know it is unbelievable that the crappy hardware is able to handle VR but yes, it is the standard PS4. Just in case you missed some news, every E3 demo, VR demo so far is all on standard PS4, future VR content will be on standard PS4 too. At this point, we have 0 footage/0 information about Neo except for leaked stuff, which has 0 mention of PSVR improvement, I'm sure there will be some improvement though.

eh? it's a bad thing that you have the option of using your own headset(headphones)?

It is definitely slightly more inconvenient because you have to take off multiple devices, even though people are reporting that the Oculus built in headset is pretty good, I would prefer over-ear type of headsets for immersive. So it's definitely a good thing for me.

Preordered PSVR and tried them out at Somerset yesterday.

Shame they didn't have PS move with London Heist demo, only gunjack, battlezone, and that underwater shark thing.

So I played VR playroom with the staff, me vs 3 DS4 users.

It was surprisingly immersive and ridiculously fun, feels unreal smashing buildings and helicopters with my head, and getting launched into space. Got bullied in the mouse mini game, no way my head could beat their reflex. 

No man's Sky would've been perfect in VR.

This changes everything. Go and try it now.

Agreed on all points except - motion sickness was not a problem for me luckily and didn't notice 'London Heist' -damn. But the underwater demo was impressive!

I think I may have been expecting too much after being so used to HD panels and very sharp NVidia 3d vision - this iteration of VR is in the right step design wise but the I just can't get over the graphics quality - despite minimal screen-door effect - it was still quite blurry with some aliaising.

The sense of scale was amazing but long term its going need a killer app/game otherwise it becomes a short-lived gimmick.

I wonder about how this compares with rift and vive - is blurry graphics an issue with these two?
*
I never get to try vive or rift, but i do read a lot about it, been following since any of them got announced. It is a problem across all headset actually, even though PSVR had the worst resolution screen compared to the competitor, PSVR offers 1920xRGBx1080, which has an extra subpixel for every pixel, on paper and math calculation, they are roughly the same. PSVR also uses non-fresnel lense, which results in slightly better FOV while others are using fresnel lense. In terms of graphic fidelity, PC will definitely be ahead of PS4 but since PS4 has only one SKU with fixed hardware, developers will know how to optimize it and squeeze everything out of it while PC dev will have to consider many factors when developing their game.

Just look at Steam VR games, most of them are just indie/blocky/simple/low fidelity graphic games with a few exception of course, you can call it a gimmick but it is more like experimental stuff. At least PSVR has a lot of triple A developer working on it with Sony first party stuff.

Not to factor in the price, official support in Malaysia and stuff. I mean if VR turns out to be a gimmick and failed, at least I didn't spend 4~5k for vive right. If you have disposable income, sure Vive is the better choice.

Just tried it at The Curve. The lens is extremely dirty and there's no PS move prepared. Only Battlezone and Deep was available. Cinematic mode doesn't seem to be there.

Headset is extremely light and comfortable for big spectacles. I didn't felt anything was being strapped on my face or even warm air trap inside. There's some minor light shooting in which is not noticeable after awhile or preferably play it in a dark room. The headset is just unbelievably comfortable.

It didn't require any focus or whatever, the moment I put it on and boom it is ready to go. I played Battlezone first level. It felt like an actual game rather than a tech demo and the head tracking is dead on with extremely smooth framerate.

Aliasing is definitely not as good as normal games but you will forget about it after a short while because of how smooth the refresh rate is. Words are readable but more pixelated. You will have to try and focus to spot the screen door effect.

As for the Deep, it is just a short video. Definitely blurrier than Battlezone but honesty I'm completely fine with it after 10 seconds. Again just to emphasize the refresh rate and head tracking, it's crazy smooth.

The headphone they prepared for the demo is quite bad. With a proper headset and clean lense, it will improve the experience a lot.

Didn't experience any motion sickness in any of the games.

To sum it up, no, the graphic is not as bad as what people said, yes yes PC Master Race, if you are aiming for fun with a good vr experience, it is the definite choice because of the content. If you are not into vr, try it, it might change your mind, or not.

Why didn't you just get the VR + camera? The new camera has a stand by default. Sell your old one since the camera bundle is around RM150 extra.

Why spend another thousand plus for some extra pixels when you can experience a whole new thing. Unless you have HDR 4k tv and you seriously can't stand PS4 graphics.
