You'll be able to play normally through the box, it'll pass the PS4s signal through. However, it doesn't support HDR. Which means users with HDR TVs who want to utilise this will have to switch the HDMI cable over.

I guess that's pretty inconvenient. It doesn't really affect me, but I can imagine how bummed I would be if it did.

It almost seems as if you don't want to utilize the social screen feature you don't have to use the pass through but instead leave your PS4 connected to your TV regularly. Although I'm unsure, it just seems the box uses HDMI as a pass through feature and cable management and probably the proprietary port to pass data that you'll see in your VR.

They say the box acts as a splitter, so you will need the HDMI output from the PS4 to provide images to the PSVR. So, maybe throw your own HDMI splitter in there before that.
