I purchased this yesterday and have really been surprised at how realistic things are.
Setup: It takes a few minutes to set everything up. It comes with a small unit that has two hdmi ports, because you have to connect another hdmi (one is included in the box) to the tv and one from your ps4 to the small unit. The unit also has two more slots that the headset itself has to connect into, and the unit has to be plugged into the wall outlet. There will be a couple updates that don't take long at all, maybe 2 minutes at most. It does come with a demo disc inside the box, that I believe is the same one you can download from the playstation store.
Headset: The headset is very light and comfortable. It has a couple different ways it can adjust to ensure it fits almost anyone. Once I adjusted it to my head and started testing it out, I almost forget that it was even there. If I had to be picky and have a downfall, I would say that the lens does get sweat on it easily and needs to be cleaned every time you take it off your face, but they do include a wipe cloth in the box.
Games: I purchased two games (Playstation VR world and the Batman VR). I only tested out the playstation VR world game,, but it has like at least 6 (forgot the exact number) different games inside of it. The first one I tested was the shark encounter and it was very realistic, I actually felt like I was in a cage underwater. Most of the games are short and simple, but all of them have challenges that will provide more gameplay for those who are interested in completing everything. Some games don't require the move controllers, and instead you can use the Dualshock controller (they give you the option before you start the game to choose which way you want to play, although its a better experience with the move controllers). You can always check the front of the game box to see if you need the move controllers or not.
Overall: All in all, I would say it was a great experience to really test out the VR world. I can only imagine the things Sony has in store for the future. I had two friends over and they enjoyed and was amazed at the technology of the VR. One was so amazed that they wanted to go get a ps4 and the VR just to play it at their house.

I recently purchased this TV yesterday along with a Xbox One S to watch 4k movies, which I purchased the Shallows movie in 4k as well. Set up was pretty easy, a total of 8 screws and the TV was connected to the stand. The remote for the TV works like a laser pointer/ mouse, that at first felt laggy, I assume it was from the angle I was standing at, but after sitting down in front of the TV it worked fine. When I hooked the Xbox up to it, the picture seemed grainy until the Xbox recognized that it was a 4k TV and asked if I wanted to adjust the settings to compliment the 4k and when I clicked yes, the picture lit up and looked crisp. There is multiple picture options to choose from ( vivid and sports seem to be the brightest and show off more detail, but there is options for cinema, gaming which I will test out later tonight, HDR etc...) As for sound, I never really expect TVs to produce quality sound but I have to say this one does quite well. I only had to turn it up a little over a quarter of the way and was able to hear the movie I watched just fine. I haven't had a whole lot of time to fully test out this TV, but so far I do like the picture and sound. I will mainly be using it for gaming and streaming so I will update this later after I get more time with the TV.

Microsoft Xbox One: The Xbox One is your all-in-one media center. Its powerful hardware delivers impressive graphics and detailed game worlds, plus it also offers an impressive lineup of video streaming apps to bring you movies, TV shows, sports and more in HD.The wireless controller was refined through hundreds of tests to emerge as Microsoft's most advanced controller to date. There are more than 40 improvements over the Xbox 360 controller, including everything from a more comfortable design and improved response time to additional rumble motors that can deliver more dynamic haptic feedback.Kinect is bundled in, delivering motion capture technology that allows you to step into your games and control them by moving your body. It also includes voice recognition, so your games and apps respond to the sound of your voice. Navigating the Xbox One's dynamic menus is simple and convenient; just swipe your hand, speak commands or use the included wireless controller.Advanced TV hardware required. Games, add-ons and media content sold separately. Initial setup and some games and features require broadband Internet; ISP fees apply. Online multiplayer requires Xbox Live Gold membership (sold separately). Multiplayer between Xbox 360 and Xbox One not supported. See Xbox.com/XboxOne.

I was excited when i first hooked up the XB1 and then started to use the kinect to say commands. That is when i got a little frustrated. I find myself constantly having to repeat certain things, and i still have the hardest time turning on the console with my voice. For the most part it does a good job and is fun to interact with stuff just by voice. I did notice that while playing some games if i paused it and someone made noise in the background the kinect would unpause my game while i away from the tv. The only other downfall i have is that it takes a lot longer to download and install games than my PS4. I got home ready to play some dead rising 3, only to have to wait about 45 minutes to install only a 5 gb update. Overall i think Microsoft has a wonderful idea of being able to control all your entertainment stuff from the XB1 but right now they just need to work out all the kinks.

The PS4 is a graphical powerhouse, able to deliver massive game worlds with impressive clarity and detail. 8GB of RAM allows for serious multitasking potential, complementing the great apps and features that make up the PS4 experience.The PlayStation brand of consoles has an impressive history of delivering world-class exclusive games, and the trend is sure to continue with the PS4. The growing blockbuster catalog is backed by a library of free-to-play and indie games, giving you flexibility in how you pay and play.The PS4 also acts as a social hub, with several built-in features that take advantage of the social networks you're already using. The controller's Share button opens up a world of video sharing, with the option to stream your gameplay live or record it to edit and post later.PlayStation Vita owners will enjoy the connectivity that ties the two devices together, from Remote Play, which allows you to play your PS4 games on your Vita's screen over a local Wi-Fi network, to Cross-Buy, which allows you to purchase a game digitally only once and play it on both your PS4 and your Vita.All PS4 consoles will need a firmware update and must be connected to the Internet to complete the update. While your console will not always need to be connected to the Internet, a one-time connection is required for the update.Online multiplayer requires a paid PlayStation Plus membership. Some features require a broadband Internet connection; ISP fees apply.PS3 games, controllers and some accessories are not compatible with the PS4.

The graphics are an improvement over the older systems as well as the speed the games load up. The UI is much easier to navigate and being able to go from game to the home screen is faster and better compared to the PS3. The new DS4 controller has been resigned and makes it even better than before, it even has a built-in speaker so that while you're playing some games, sound can come from the DS4. If you're looking at getting a new console i would definitely recommend the PS4. Sony always has the best exclusive games and 2014 will bring lots of great titles to play.

What's great about it: Powerful, fast, nice design and improved so much over the PS3.
What's not so great: Could use some more games, but early 2014 has a nice lineup.
