Why the fuck is thumper not available to float now on U.K. Site ffs. Looks amazing.......

[siread]

Lol. My finger has been hovering over cancel all week since I have a Rift and am not that enthused by the launch line-up, but I thought sod it, I pre-ordered day one, I'm not backing out now. Only Amazon tells me tonight that the card I used has expired, so I go in to update it... aaaand it bumps it back to Saturday delivery. Nice one Amazon, you bastards. So I've now cancelled 2 games, 2 controllers and the headset. Will pick it up later if something interesting comes along. Looking forward to hearing your experiences tomorrow!

Update: Arriving tomorrow

 

Yeeesssss!

 

Carrier: Amazon Logistics

 

Nooooo!

A few years ago i'd be off down to GAME at midnight with cash and trade ins, but I'm going to sensibly sit back and read everyone's impressions. I'm totally happy with my gear VR, so I know VR is great, and it's saved me jumping in with 400 quid here. Don't write off Driveclub either over some people mentioning jaggies...that stuff fades into the background and the immersion kicks in.

PSA: Everyone needs to try Thumper. Especially if you like Rez.  It's a lot harder than Rez though, but definitely gives the same trance-out lose yourself feeling.  I can't wait to play it in VR.

It would help if we could pre-order/download the bloody thing

I wonder if the driveclub sickness is related to those using a wheel or not? Can't decide if with or without would make worse, but could be a factor.

Got the PS VR demo disc downloading. 40 GB.

I'd imagine without is much worse.

It really doesn't make that much difference.  It's the fact (especially if you drive in everyday life) that you expect to feel forces your eyes tell you are coming. 

 

Some actions (like reversing) feel worse than others. It's crazy. In an awesome way.

So I'd given up on getting the vr tomorrow.  My Amazon account has been quoting an arrival date of 14th October for the last few weeks and I've had no Amazon update despite refreshing my order page all day..

 

Anyway, skip to the end (spaced reference) and my Amazon app notified me 10 minutes ago that I'm on the day one train. Wooo!  Super excited for until dawn and Batman VR

[Clipper]

AMAZONNNNNNN! SHIPPPPPPP IT NOWWWW!!!!!!!

 

please so I can go to bed

 

[Spleen]

I've still got:

 

12 Oct Will dispatch

13 Oct Arriving tomorrow

 

We shall see. 

Hopefully, as it's coming to my work, it'll turn up before everyone leaves. 

Probably not though. Bah. 

[Couk]

Mine is on it's way to the Leeds depot!!

 

*record needle scratch sfx* ... but I live in London!

 

i don't really. I'm just feeling a bit giddy. 

[McSpeed]

So I got one of those fancy PlayStation VR goggles, a while ago already actually.

 

Put them on to see what all the fuzz was about - and yeah, everything looks so amazingly real!

 

 

Is this what the future looks like then?

[angel]

I'm quite impressed how many people have a spare 400 quid.

[Fury4k]

We've all had seven months to save. It is a lot of money though, but I've just kept a couple of work bonuses from Christmas and the summer, more than enough for the headset and some games.

[Yewone]

Yeah this is a purchase that's been planned and budgeted for months in advance. Its certainly helped ease the pain.

[angel]

If you get it from game theyre giving you 2.5% back on your card too which helps, basically a tenner credit. I''ll have to keep my resolve and not nip down there tomorrow looking to get one.

[Fury4k]

And we'll do our best to push you into it angel.

[AI]

Rez VR angel! One of us, one of us!

 

Mine was finally despatched at 8:30pm, courier Amazon Logistics. Is that a man in a van then? Am I screwed? 

[HarryBizzle]

My wife doesn't give a crap about gaming in the slightest, but we've spent about half an hour watching PS VR trailers on YouTube and we're both excited to try this tomorrow.

[Xevious]

Now they've confirmed 360° video support, what's a good place to download some of those videos from?

Within is on the demo disk and has some great stuff. Try the Evolution of Verse video.

Came to 2800 points (£7) on mine.

 

I wish I'd remembered to cancel one of my preorders but now that Amazon are delivering on Friday I think that'll be the one I send back. Or if CEX are offering more than £350 cash on the weekend I might dump it there.

My ShopTo order still isn't coming back with anything from the DPD website when I try the tracking number there. Should I be concerned? 

 

Edit - Panic over...I've entered the tracking number manually on the website rather than clicking the link in the email and everything appears to be in order.
