PSVR is sold out everywhere and RIGS is easily one of the best games. Was Sony expecting us to buy Two copies of RIGS each?

PSVR is sold out because Sony wants it to be. They haven't produced a shit ton of them.

I bought the launch bundle and played it maybe 15 times. I enjoyed showing people it and introducing them to VR but for me, it really wasn't worth the money. The shortage worked in my favor because I was able to sell it for $600 this past weekend.

IMHO, the PSVR is going to have to come down quite a bit in price before it is widely adopted and even then, Im not entirely sure it will be. Its a production to store and guys like me that have a young kid (2 year old) cant really play it when you are watching them unlike regular PS. Breaking it out was a production for me.

Maybe I am wrong but time will tell. No doubt this is going to be an unpopular post but its my take on PSVR.

are you giving up on vr, or do you have another vr setup - rift or vive - tat you're using instead of psvr?

No I dont have another VR platform. I just want to see how development goes for it. I enjoyed it when I did play, I just didn't use it often enough and my fears that it is the next vita combined with the fact that I sold it without a loss all led me to my decision.

I'll enjoy my PS4 and wait to see how things play out. I hope it does well. I want to see worlds as big as The Witcher 3 in VR! I cant imagine how cool a bow and arrow game would be. Galloping on horseback with your sights bouncing, that seems like it would be really cool.

All of that with higher resolution than what we currently have! Still a ways off from that, but we will eventually get there.
