PS VR: Everything You Need to Know!

I hope we can watch movies on the PC with this. Sony's store don't have all the movies on there and this would really give it a cinema experience for me.

You can watch Amazon on it. Also Vudu. So if you got all your digital movies on iTunes, well... Sucks to be you. iTunes isn't quite as open as Amazon and Vudu, so you made the wrong choice. I made that choice way back when and got 1 movie on iTunes. I realized I could only play it on iTunes, and never bought another thing there. Being limited to just Apple devices is OK with music, because the Shuffle did everything I needed, and now you can get DRM free music on iTunes too, but the movies are still too closed.

It would be cool if Sony could get iTunes on the PS4, though. It would solve this problem for the people who have large movie collections on iTunes instead of a reasonable service like Amazon.

I wonder what games Square Enix have in development for PlayStation VR. Something similar to Dragon Quest Swords (or a Final Fantasy equivalent) could possibly drive sales in Japan.

FFXIV has VR support on its way. Of course, the VR in games adapted for VR is rarely as good as in games made for VR. Who knows if they're making any VR dedicated games. If PSVR becomes a super ultra mega hit (which I doubt... It will take at least the length of a console lifespan for people to warm up to VR), you can guarantee the biggest game company in Japan will make VR experiences and VR games. Don't count on them footing the bill to get people interested in VR. That's Sony's (and Facebook's and Valve's) job, not theirs.

As far as we know, it'll run fine with the original PS4, but better with the Neo. There was a rumor that suggested otherwise, but I'm betting that was nonsense.

Added PSU article about every available PS VR launch game to the OP.
