Default PS4 Pro or PSVR?

I thought it would be interesting to see what (if anything) people will be purchasing when this comes out and why?

Did you accidentally vote VR though? 2-1 for VR and I voted Pro.

Anyway, the proper vote should have been "Undecided" since I have to try VR before I ever think about buying it. Just haven't had the opportunity to do so yet. But, there's about a 95% chance I'm buying the Pro, so I went ahead and voted for that.

I'll be getting both. Most likely PSVR first and than a 4K TV with HDR and than the pro.

The PSVR was awesome on the regular PS4 so I'm in nos rush to get a Pro for PSVR.

I recently bought a 4K tv with HDR, so pro is a must after seeing HZD in 4K, plus TLOU in 4K with HDR will look spectacular.

I have a 4K HDR display coming next week to replace my XBR2. Everyday gaming is always going to push the limits of graphics and performance, with PC always being the gold standard, even if UHD remains niche in the home cinema department. I expect VR to remain a niche product in gaming, and it's not something I'm highly interested in, even it goes mainstream. Pro is preordered.

VR is not for me, I'd far rather get the Pro despite some of its drawbacks, so that's my future purchase.

VR needs open world games to get me interested in it, moving beyond many of the novelty VR games I've seen listed.

I need to see the differences side by side at a store to see what the PS4 Pro is offering. If the difference is subtle for most games, I'll pass. If the difference is like comparing a PS3 to a PS4, then I'd buy it.

Right now it seem subtle but I'm guessing games released at the end of 2017 will start to really look amazing. Besides the few AAA games coming out soon like HZD and FFXV.

Neither for now.

Maybe a Pro down the line when it's cheaper. Would have pre-ordered it if it had UHD disc playback though.

Not sure I'm interested in PSVR. One day I'm sure VR will be great, once it's more similar to wearing contact lenses than to wearing a TV on your head.

PSVR is in a challenging spot as it's separating itself from being compatible with all games, and that rarely works out in the long term for peripheral device. I have 3D glasses for an game console years ago, but they only made like 6 games for it. The VR has a much larger library for now, so hopefully that'll help sales. I want it to do well, but will be watching from the sidelines till it convinces me otherwise after a year of steady improvements in VR gaming.

Thanks. Yeah, that will be the key. I don't want just a frame rate or resolution improvement in games for $425 with tax (or $850 dollars with tax for the PS4 & the Pro upgrade), but a whole new graphical sight that isn't possible on PS4, so hopefully the games really show that off soon.

For that, I will wait if needed for a PS5, but I'll keep an open mind.

That is why Sony needs to advertise and make a big deal out of cinema mode. Not all games are VR but you can play all games with the headset on and watch movies. That should be a selling feature to most and something Sony needs to start showing.

Agreed. Cinema Mode is one of the main reasons I'm buying one. Do you know if it is able to play 3D?

I can imagine that being quite the experience.
