Do you like to try before you buy?

John Koller Vice President of PlayStation Brand Marketing has taken to the official PlayStation blog this week to announce that PlayStation VR demos are now available across the US.
To start, we’re going to be showing off PlayStation VR Worlds, EVE: Valkyrie, Headmaster, Battlezone and SUPERHYPERCUBE. You’ll want to check the dates and times carefully though, as the PS VR is available for a few hours at a time and some locations won’t have it every day. Will you enjoy the experience? They can get the bare PlayStation VR unit at a price point of $399 or a complete kit containing the unit, the PlayStation Camera (mandatory) and the Move controllers (optional, but highly recommended). Seeing how the preorders have already emptied Sony’s stock, it would be nice to be able to test the VR headset before staying up in line for a new batch.
Sony is really pushing its upcoming VR platform, scheduling a series of PSVR demos across the United States over the coming weekend. In a bid to remedy this with potential PSVR owners, Sony as of yesterday opened 30 demo spots at Best Buy and GameStops across the US. More game demos will be added leading up to PS VR’s launch in October.
According to a new blog post from Sony, the company will be showing off the PlayStation VR with playable demo units at various retail stores over the next two days.

This is an important opportunity for Sony to show its consumers why virtual reality is cool and how the PlayStation VR works with the PS4. If you aren’t located near any of the places, you aren’t entirely out of luck as Sony will be showcasing the PS VR on their “Road to Greatness” roadshow this summer.
