PlayStation VR

The PS VR is arguably the best-looking and friendliest of the main VR headsets. The glowing lights and moulded black and white plastic aren't so intimidating, and it's very comfortable. It's comparatively light and the large visor, we're assured, can accommodate even large glasses frames.

It's possibly the most social, too. While it uses a PS4, the PlayStation VR will also ship with a smaller box that sits between the headset and the PS4 to handle the 3D bits. An added bonus of this setup is you can connect the box to a TV, so people can see what you're seeing. Watching what's going on is far more interesting than watching someone on their own, so we can see this being a winning feature.

You'll also need a PlayStation Camera for the PlayStation VR because it's how the headset tracks movement – it costs extra. Like the PlayStation Move controllers, the camera tracks the lights on the front of the headset as you move your head around. This works pretty well in our experience and the camera is bound to be bundled with any VR purchase.

While the headline price doesn't include the PlayStation Camera, which is required, or the Move controllers, it's still a good value compared to the Vive and Rift. BySony's own admission, it won't be the most advanced VR experience when it launches, but it's arguably the most accessible given the price and hardware it runs on.
