I had no intention of following through with my preorder but with the positive impressions and gt7 I may have to actually leave it.......
Not sure how I'll pay for it though.....

I can't remember, did they say they will have a 2d mode to play non vr games on this?
I don't think they've mentioned it but seems like it would have to be there.
I'm looking forward to that, too. Since this has inside-out and it's higher resolution, it will be more usable as a second screen than the first one was. Usually I would use a monitor for that; when I don't want to hog the tv but I'm obsessed with something grindy and no end in sight. I think I would rather still use a monitor but I'll give the headset a shot next time it comes up.
I found good news and bad news from playstation blog last year......
"In Cinematic Mode, players can view the PS5 system and UI and all non-VR game and media content on a virtual cinema screen. Content in Cinematic Mode will be displayed in 1920×1080 HDR video format with 24/60Hz and also 120Hz frame rate."
Not sure why you limit it to 1080P, that's disappointing.. why if there is 4000 pixels across and 4000 vertically, can't it do 4k? (3840 x 2160?) This would be far better for games than 1080p in a "giant" virtual monitor.
The virtual screen will always occupy a lot less pixels than are in the headset display. Compared to a real tv, it won't be that sharp. 1080 is probabaly enough.
I'm not so sure about that, it kind of echo's real life in terms of display size vs pixels, if you are sitting 15ft from a 120" 1080p display it's not enough pixels. I suppose I shouldn't be shocked as it appears like that on the Quest 2 (at least for me) and it's a similar pixel count.
One thing that many don't mention is that the PSVR2 also does HDR which from my understanding no other headset does (unless I am mistaken). I know the Quest 2 does not.
The other thing I am really interested in is how comfortable it is. IMHO I thought the PSVR1 was the most comfortable headset made to date. My Quest 2 is a lot better since I have a new head strap.
I am still undecided if I will get this. I need to hear more about some of the games, especially GT7. On the original PSVR1 the GT game on that was a gimped version of the game...so I hope they share some details soon.
Samsung is making the screens inside the headset. Any of their amoleds are more than enoughHave they stated how bright it gets? The reason I ask is "hdr" at 400 nits isn't really hdr, whereas if they are offering it 1000 nits then it's a real feature.
That bodes well, they have some very bright screens and since there is no battery life issues it won't be tamed.Samsung is making the screens inside the headset. Any of their amoleds are more than enough
You only need to set this up once, unless you’re passing it between friends which could then become a little bothersome.
Heard hand tracking was bad (may have been the environment), but after using the Quest Pro, on point hand tracking is everything for me, completely changes the experience and can’t go back to a headset that losing sight of a controller behind you or up close to your face. btw, here’s a little more balanced impression from a guy that is knee deep in VR and really gets it (their channel is pretty informative):
