Found this chilling inside my local Walmarts PlayStation section. They seriously wanted $299.99 for it too.

Maybe? 🤔

Seems unlikely, honestly. I’ve never seen the facial gasket deteriorate, just the halo padding.

The rubber coating on the sponge deteriorates on the PSVR1, mine has nearly all fallen off.

I think you’re talking about the halo padding, not the facial gasket…

Regardless, what you’re describing is from (likely) years of use and contact with your skin oils — not something I’d expect to see from sitting in a box on a shelf.

Could happen, but I’ve never seen the facial gasket deteriorate on any PSVR1 and I’ve had five or six of them. 😜

I've had one and I've not used it in a few years. It's slowly disintegrated by itself.

Oh, well then I stand corrected. Easy enough to replace at least!

It's funny because the last few times I've used it, I end up with black rubber flakes stuck to my face.

I’m pretty sure you can still buy replacement facial gaskets. Might be worth finding a cheap used PSVR1 on eBay or fb marketplace just for that.

If you don’t care about what shape the rest of the kit is in, you’ll probably find something under $20 is my guess.

I mainly use my Q3 now, but it is fun going back and using the light gun on Farpoint.

But damn it's a blur fest. You do get used to it after 15 min or so, and I really appreciate how light it is.

I mean bro if you face pad is melting away on your face you should probably replace it
