I got it to work eventually but my main problem was reading the bloody tiny text on the back of the box.

I'd been trying on Chrome through my mobile and it wasn't working - tried it on my work laptop and it worked first time

My PSVR is in the loft at the minute (like the massive strawberry floating gimmick that it is) so I'll need to retrieve it later to get my code.

Just remembered something and saved myself £30 I was all set to pay full price for Miles Morales and Demon's Souls if it'd mean I could just pop down to Asda, buy 'em and play 'em asap, as opposed to waiting in for them to be delivered. And then I remembered they're releasing the games before the consoles So yeah, just bought 'em off thegamecollectionoutlet on eBay, with the POPUPOCT20 code :phew: :idiot:

They’re releasing the PS5 games early?

Games and accessories are coming out here a week earlier than the console.

Yeah, that was my issue too!

I got my code accepted first time last night. Using safari on an iPad of all things.

Maybe I got lucky, or maybe the site is getting hammered? Although can’t imagine there are that many PSVR users out there?

You played beat saber or astro bot?

S'ok, I love it really. The gimmick line was just Ad7 bait. I recently decluttered my media unit and made all wires totally hidden. Trying to do that with the PSVR was a step too far. Also, we've got a newborn so the chances of me playing games with a headset on are fairly slim, at least for a while.

Agree the wires are the biggest pain

I'm so bored hearing about Astrobot.

The game also supposedly has a platinum trophy.

Oh just imagine “feeling” the bodies hit your controller in the next GTA as you mow them down

I wonder how many of the people who dismissed Astrobot on PSVR as gimmicky and perfectly achievable on a flat screen with no impact on playability (it would simply reveal what an "average game" it was) are now the same people who are going wild over the PS5 Dual Sense?

I mean, were there a lot of people saying that?

I bemoaned Astro Bot Rescue Mission being PSVR exclusive, but only because it looked brilliant and I really, really don’t want a PSVR.

I’d rather be able to play that on a screen, and I’m sure many others are on the same boat, but I don’t think anyone would rather play Astro’s Playroom without the cool controller stuff

It's on its way...

Why are they all upside down?

Wait, is this going to be like the PS1 era again where you had to turn it on its side or upside down to get it to read disks properly?

I know! I was thinking I'd be pissed if I knew mine was one of the squash boxes at the bottom.


The Japanese market version of the new PlayStation Travis Scott ad. It has Japanese voiceovers and clips from games at the end.

My take on this is that you could do it, but it would be so far from the real experience that there would be no point.

It would be like trying to play Super Mario Galaxy with a NES pad.

If you don't mind me asking, how come you don't want PSVR so much?

I did worry it would be a gimmick, but there are now certain games I just would not want to play in any other way. Not trying to convince you by the way, fine it's not your thing, was just curious as to why.

I’ve owned 2 Oculus Rifts (Dev Mk II and CV1, which I still have) and VR has never been more than a short-lived novelty for me, and I’d rather just play on a screen 100% of the time. The idea of connecting so much gooseberry fool up around my TV, for an experience that tracks worse, looks worse and runs worse than something I already dislike is about as appealing to me as a kick in the dick.
