Sony Playstation VR - Enormous Price Hikes

You may have seen my recent rant over Sony Playstation VR purchasing by sharks to manipulate the buyers market. You can read the piece using the link below:

Sony Playstation VR - Loathsome Bulk Buying Price Hikers

Profiteering Sony Playstation VR Headset Over Pricing

I thought we'd reached the peak of this greed, but as the major distributors are stating they will have no stock until after Christmas ads like this on Amazon continue to appear with apparently larger and larger price hikes.

It seems odd to me that market manipulation at the shareholder level is illegal, but buying up product to sell on at extortionately high prices due to the lack of availability seems to be okay, and supported by the big players.

I just stumbled on this on Amazon UK

Time to vote with our feet people, and not to buy.

Ho Hum Humbug Christmas Exploitation Is Increasing

I just heard a piece on BBC Radio 4 UK interviewing Santas and the kids were asking about which 3D VR should they get, gulp, at these prices I'd say the cheap phone holding headsets.  If Sony wanted to grow the market this Christmas, then they should have done what Apple do and set a maximum price you can charge as a reseller, and how it as close to the RRP as possible.

Shame on you people.

Sony Playstation VR - Loathsome Bulk Buying Price Hikers

Profiteering Sony Playstation VR Headset Over Pricing

With Christmas coming up and expectations being set high for the must have gadget for Christmas 2016, you would hope that the Christmas spirit would prevail.

There was a great scene in the original Black & White movie Miracle on 34th Street

which one of my most favourite movies ever.  It brings a lump to my throat and tears to my eyes, as the Chris Kringle the Santa telling kids parents in Macy's store where they can buy certain toys Macy's don't stock or who has them cheaper.

It's a lovely thought, and in the film is portrayed as a marketing success, as it is today for John Lewis, 'never knowingly undersold'

So it really angers me when I discovered that some loathsome creatures have bought up stock of the expensive Sony Playstation VR Headset

which itself isn't cheap or completely ready to use, as I outlined in my BLOG Article 

Read This Before Buying A Sony Playstation VR

But SHARKS appear to be using their purchase allocation to screw buyers for an extra £150+ for the same item, if they want it before Christmas.  Why would people pay an extra £150+ ? well it because of its rarity (due to SHARKS buying up of available stock to fleece buyers with their higher pricing). 

I found this on Amazon UK

Amazon states that they have sold their QUOTA at £349 and won't have any more until January 2017, then there is a huge list of Shark Sellers, many more than I show in the picture above.

No you may think differently, but to me this is no different to Ticket Touting, and in my view should be outlawed as blatant Market Manipulation and Profiteering.  Sony should not give allocation to these companies, and especially not at Christmas time.

If you agree that this practise I will call 'PRODUCT TOUTING' should be banned then please like, thumbs up and share this article.  In fact I think I will email BBC Radio 4 consumer programme so they can look into it and see how widespread this is.  

Let's face it in a time of recession, when products are being splashed in front of the eyes of people with little free cash, the situation shouldn't be made worse by this loathsome profiteering SHARKS.

Read This Before Buying A Sony Playstation VR

A new come on the VR scene, released and sold out early this month is the Sony Playstation VR

It's been getting excellent reviews from new users and has been selling out across the board, and although there are limited games available for it at this time, Sony et al seem committed to creating content for it.

Now you would think that the VR system would come with everything a user needs to plug it into your playstation and use it.  Sadly, in order to keep the price down the Sony Playstation VR is missing some vital playstation accessories in order to work.

The first thing you will need is a compatible Sony Playstation it will not work well with some of the older models.  In truth to get the most out of the Sony Playstation VR it is advisable to purchase the

recently released Sony Playstation Pro

Okay, so you have the Sony Playstation VR and a new Sony Playstation Pro you are all set aren't you?  Well no, in order to interacted with the 3D VR Virtual World it needs to see what your VR Headset is doing i.e. are you turning, raising, lowering or moving your head and to do this it needs information from the Sony Playstation 4 Camera

Now your almost ready, your in VR on a very fast Playstation which is tracking your head but you can't interact with it using your arms without a Twin Pack of Move Motion Controllers

The final thing you require to get complete immersion in the Sony Playstation VR Virtual World is the a pair of Sony Playstation Headphones

 this is so you can't hear the comments from those around you as you wave and gesticulate about in your alternative reality.  Once you have all these items your ready to rumble in your own virtual world.

Virtual Reality 3D Worlds are springing up everywhere, along with Stereo Graphic images and 3D VR, this includes my own VR content.

If you have an early Playstation 4 you may want to consider selling it privately to reduce the price of the Playstation 4 Pro.  If you are considering this option sooner rather than later is the policy, before the prices of the older units drop with the introduction of the Sony Playstation 4 Pro.

Hope to see you in Virtual Space.

An Ancient Fearsome Samurai Female Warrior in 3D

fixed1t Virtual Reality 3D

A famous Onna-Bugeisha female martial artist was Tomoe Gozen it is said of her, her skill and courage

"Tomoe was especially beautiful, with white skin, long hair, and charming features. She was also a remarkably strong archer, and as a swordswoman she was a warrior worth a thousand, ready to confront a demon or a god, mounted or on foot. She handled unbroken horses with superb skill; she rode unscathed down perilous descents. Whenever a battle was imminent, Yoshinaka sent her out as his first captain, equipped with strong armor, an oversized sword, and a mighty bow; and she performed more deeds of valor than any of his other warriors."

— The Tale of the Heike

A Fearsome Female Samurai Warrior print I have e converted to 3D Side-bySide for the first 40 secs and then Red/Cyan Half Colour
Its astonishing the depth it adds and how she moves as you moves your head.

Warwick Castle UK - 3D VR You Could Just Die Waiting in the Queue For Food

Here are some 3D pictures I took of Warwick Castle in Warwickshire England during a pre Halloween visit with Oliver, Pascal and the family.  I will be processing and uploading more of the next few days.

There are several ways to view the pictures after you have double clicked on them to bring up the large original:

1) If you have a Google Cardboard Headset for your phone film the phone screen with the side-by-side picture and put it in the headset.

2) Using a 3D headset

3) using your 3D TV with the settings set to Side By Side and put on your glasses

4) If you don't have any of these then fill the screen with the picture then look at it 'CROSS EYED'
you will see 4 pictures in front of you, the left image, the 3D image in the middle and the right image on the right.  With practise this is easy to do but it does hurt your eyes and can give you a headache.

It also makes you look daft so only do it when your alone.

For this Halloween they had a great spooky zone for kids, Oliver loves Skelebobs as we called them in Manchester as kids.

The queues for food were enormous, this guy must have died waiting.

The witches were friendly, this one asked me to come back later for supper, given the bones on the floor and the smoke Oliver said she may eat us.

After much investigation and self debate I decided to go for the JVC Everio Dual Lens 3D GS0TD1-17  Camera.  The benefit of this over other systems is that it has two totally independent lens and sensors, so no light reduction from adapter lenses and it is full HD and has optical zoom.

I will publish an unboxing and review of it shortly.  In the meantime here are some photos of the:
