The best thing about those pods was twin-stick tank controls are FUN!
PSVR is frankly bloody amazing given the price of a complete setup, even if you buy a PS4 Pro. Slightly annoying that they've slashed the price of the headset and camera bundle and included Wipeout before I've actually paid off wot I bought! (Though Argos 0% credit is OK).
What's bloody annoying is the lack of video to watch in 3D; the services that do offer it just list shite like C&W concerts, walking round tech shows, rock climbing and poverty docs. And they nearly all expect you to be able to turn 360° rather than allowing for you to be seated and look forward because you have a fucking trunk cable up your back like every VR system you could be watching it on has.
There are a few CGI demos to watch, but all the services insist on streaming rather than letting you download, so they all look shit and blurry. And I've yet to be able to get anything from YouTube to run in PSVR at all.
Yet as usual, the pr0n industry is a decade ahead with the tech and free stuff as they know how their business works and aren't operating under any 'new-media' delusional bullshit. So who are the real cnUts and w@nkers in this business?

Actually, having now read the blog,
The best thing about the Playstation one is the physical design. The headband tightens smoothly in a halo around the base of the skull and the crown of your forehead, then the goggles just hang down in front of your face. It is far, far more comfortable to wear than a massively front-heavy box that tries to strap tightly to the front of your face, where all the weight plus all the tension of the strap comes to rest on your cheekbones.
Also, I don't think the Playstation one is making anyone feel more seasick than any other. Maybe some games on the non-pro dropping to 60 fps might be to blame, but I think it's more because it's opening it up to far more people than the hardcore tech-adopters who jump on the PC-based ones, that it's just finding more people who don't quite get into it as much as others.
There's also a big difference for your brain to get around between something like Battlezone where you're sat in a flat and level cockpit and Eve where you're constantly heaving and rolling around visually but without the physical sensations to back it up.
