It's not great timing on Sony's part to introduce PSVR2. When they introduced VR for the ps4, the system had been out for a while and the time was right for a high-end accessory to help freshen things up for people who had had the system for several years at that point.

The PS5 is still a freaking novelty. The idea of putting out a high end accessory for it just seems weird right now. Get the console into the hands of everyone who wants them first, and then take it to the next stage.

Whats your new username?

It’s the same.

When you link your NNID to a local user account it takes over it like a zombie and renames it to the name your NNID has registered.

So unless I have 4 different NNIDs I can't transfer across the other local users. Which means I have 4 Animal Crossing houses I can't do anything with. 😕

Side note, battery life on the OLED is much improved, up to 9 hrs depending on the game.

Also the speakers are better. At first I didn't think much of them as the volume seemed about the same. Then as I was playing Xenoblade 2, even in areas with music I had played for hours, the speakers have a range where it could pick out certain instruments I can't even hear on the TV.

Suddenly a trumpet or guitar solo was a rocking 😁

So after playing extensively I can report back.

The OLED isn't that much different from your regular switch. It feels like a premium version though.

It's only going to enhance the handheld experience. I was initially worried about the screen sharpness.

It's only slightly less sharp and it actually smooths off some of the jaggies you can notice on regular switch. Since it's OLED there is no colour less that sometimes happens when you run a lower resolution signal through a bigger screen.

The refresh rate seems smoother too, maybe its my perception, but racing games seem smoother.

The screen is brighter, but unless side by side you might not notice.

The OLED screen (which I've never tried before) is all about the colours. If you are like me and want games to be vibrant and colourful this is a good option.

Some of the best colour moments are the menus, sound weird I know but the colours really pop in some games. In game you can notice the blacks are genuinely black in dark areas and the contrast between that and vibrant saturated colours is lovely to look at.

I was playing Xenoblade 2 again and went into an area I'd been dozens of times, and it literally made me gasp when I turned a corner and saw these lanterns illuminating a background.

The system itself is a total win, in that it addresses pretty much every bugbear about the OG switch for me.

The kickstand is solid and can even be used vertically (hello schmups)

The top vents are robust and won't crack. The speakers are louder and have more range.

The screen is bigger, and yes it does make a difference given how close it is to your face. The screen is better quality and more colourful.

The battery can last up to 9hrs now. The Dock space is wider and won't scratch your screen

There's an ether net port built in.

It had twice the HDD of the OG switch which will make swapping games out between SD cards easier.

I think aside from the screen and sound my favourite feature are the angled vents. No longer on the back, so you don't get hot hands and you can lay the system flat without blocking any vents.

They cleverly angled them so that they don't even shoot hot air down towards your hands.

The system doesn't seem to get hot at all.

I got the Splatoon OLED model and it looks nice.
