Josh from SR says, "Can a £349 piece of tech rival the likes of the Oculus Rift or Vive? After donning the cowl in Rocksteady’s upcoming PSVR exclusive, Arkham VR, I’m convinced that virtual reality on the PS4 is equally as great as its incredibly expensive rivals."

Tempting... but I have to say I am more of an arcade deluxe cab fan. I loved the ones for Galaxy Force, Thunder Blade and After Burner.
That seems to be the general consensus, that PSVR provides an equally impressive and immersive experience to the more expensive counterparts. I still am interested in a Vive for its tracking abilities, when its price drops a bit, but I also don't have a large play area so that is limiting.
Wow nothing but praise for PSVR. Digital Foundry first said that Drive Club VR was the best racing experience on VR surpassing those on Oculus and Vive and now this report is also very positive.
Can't wait to have my own PSVR.
