Hi Guys
So RIP to my dear old PSVR, at exactly 3 years old, it has ceased to be, it is no more, it is a dead headset. It just fails to switch on. One moment it was as alive as it was at birth, next moment, it is as dead as John Cleese's Parrot.
But that's OK because it was my live fast, die young rock star. It was used for 2D gaming, 3D/2D blu ray watching, it was my also my fitness machine, and oh it was my VR gaming headset too! Used at least 5 days a week. It had more than a full life.
But I don't intend to move on and make my recently purchased Quest 2 my next VR lifestyle because it simply doesn't hold a candle to what my PSVR delivered in the areas that matters most to me.
So with £60 of CEX trade vouchers in hand, I am off to CEX to pick up a replacement PSVR for £115 (£55, cash, £60 vouchers) which is thankfully in stock at two branches. CEX even gives two year warranty on all electronics (as for how honourable they are with that is another question! But that's just a bonus to me)
However, I have two choices. My nearest branch has V1. But in a branch further away from me, a V2 beckons. Now if this was a normal year, the no-brainer choice would be make the longer journey and buy the V2. But it isn't a normal year and I am ultra cautious in protecting my vulnerable members of the family by keeping my journeys to an absolute minimum.
So my question (about time!) is this: Those of you who have had your headset from that first year of release or had it over 3 years, has the display or any aspect of it deteriorated during that time? If it hasn't I rather make the short journey to my local branch. But if any of you notice any display deterioration, I'll make the longer journey.

Thanks guys
