Sorry. I think just 2 USB ports (one for the machine and one for a USB mouse). Would be best if it had a connection for a second monitor as well.

I have never been in to gaming on a laptop, so I'm confused about the dedicated cards that exist today. My wife is starting to train in neurofeedback...a psychology-related therapy that involves analyzing brain waves. The program that she will be using needs the following specs...I'm hoping that someone here can lead me in the right direction. Thanks in advance!!!

Quad-core or above; i7 preferred

Windows 10

4GB RAM or greater

Direct x 10 graphics card, 1GB dedicated

DVD-ROM

Webcam

Will the fourth week of the Holiday sale be an encore sale, similar to how Steam works? I missed out on the Darkest Dungeon deal and am hoping to get it at the 50% off price point.

Generally speaking, it seems that most people who have been using VR for awhile talk about getting your VR "feet wet", so to speak. This is a different way for our body to experience stimuli and it is going to cause some confusion to your vestibular system. The main things I've heard mentioned are:

1. Start slow. Even though you are excited about playing the heck out of your PSVR..don't. 20-30 minutes might be all you can do initially.

2. Try acclimating to milder games first...something like SuperHyperCube, the Ocean experience in VR Worlds, etc. I would suggest NOT trying Eve, Rigs, or Driveclub right off the bat. Even Rez put me on edge the first time I played it. I did really well in Batman too...and that has been a great experience. The London Heist was another great experience that I handled well, but still had quite a bit going on.

3. Most importantly, listen to your body. If your brain tells you to GTFO, then do so. Don't fight through that feeling. Come back another day and try again. If you get really ill from playing, you won't want to go back. It is incredibly cool technology...but developers are just trying to figure out the best way to make games for this...and our bodies are trying to acclimate to something they weren't programmed to do. And that is fo real.

Anyone else having this problem? I've tried on a computer and the PS iphone app, but I keep getting an error message. I've tried two different types of payment as well. Very odd, because I've been able to go through the process with a few paid titles and all free titles. Batman and Wayward Sky won't work though.

The only way I see myself saving for one is if the PSVR experience is significantly improved.

@jak42: Yeah, this is my approach to. Find some games that allow for quick sessions. Sports games, online games (i.e. Splatoon or Overwatch), and even Rockstar-style games tend to fit this theme. I can play a mission or two in Red Dead or something like that and still feel like I'm making progress in a short session.

For those of you who have the PSVR pre-ordered, what titles are you looking at as day one purchases? I'm glad that the bundle will come with Worlds and a demo disc, but I know I'm going to want a good variety to show off what the tech can do to family and friends. The only additional "game" I know I will get at launch is Batman, but I honestly haven't seen much of some of the other titles that are coming out at that time. So, what will you purchase with your PSVR?

@GTR12: I only saw Batman, RIGS, and PS VR Worlds listed for launch on Amazon and Gamestop. I see that the list you provided is much more extensive, which is great. I just find it odd that these other titles aren't available for pre-order yet. I mean, this thing comes out next month! Are these all digital only releases then? I'm going to want to try a variety of experiences at launch...just wish I could have a better idea of price points for these titles.
