1080p on a 5.7" display in a $400 VR accessory. Lol That is like the biggest VR joke of the decade. Thanks Sony, for the good laugh.

AnonD-100398, 16 Mar 2016Isn't the lack of QHD display result in a pixelated mess ?j... moreresolution is not everything

BTW, i still play pc engine and super nintendo with xrgb upscanner ( for beautiful low res visuals) at 10ppi on my 40", on the contrary, it doesn't look like a mess, it looks sharp and vivid as well as defined pixels

i have also played ps one (rendered 4x) on my sony xperia phone with third party google cardboard and ps3 dual shock controller, it's actually really decent and not really blocky at all

    might as well state

    psx (dvr)
    pocket station
    psp go


    every other company has released systems or accessories which has even more limited support, ie, snes bazooka, nintendo 64dd ( have you even seen it), nintendo virtual boy, microsoft hd dvd drive, sega dreamcast modem, sega mega/sega cd, pc engine super cd rom with arcade card, apple pippin
