PlayStation VR: 9 New Details You Need To Know About

4. It's Not Wireless, And Requires Another Power Socket

Although it can be very easy to assume that with all this new-age innovation, everything post the PS3/Xbox 360 went wireless, but due to the sheer amount of processing and calculations the VR needs to do at any given time, there's going to be a lengthy cable sticking out the back of your head, Matrix-style, while you play. For the vast majority of games this won't be a huge issue as you can play sat down, but for all of you out there who like to keep a clutter-free environment - and let's be honest, f*ck wires and cables - it's worth knowing that you need to make room for the PS VR's synthetic entrails across your floor regardless. The way it's setup for this first model is a cable going from your headset to a small box that does a bunch of external computations (and looks like a mini-PS4), before connecting to the console itself. This separate box requires its own power supply, but located on the cable are controls for power and volume, so it won't always be powered on if you're just using your PS4 as normal.
