just got a psvr the other day and have a ps4 fat which i got in February
now i just found out that there is no way to extend the PS camera cable beyond 13 feet
so now i am going to have to return the psvr to the store because i have a wall mounted TV
and built in wall shelf with my AVR and all of my consoles in it that is on another wall with all the cables running through the walls and attic
the 1st thing that pissed me off was no rear mounted USB ports on the ps4 so now i need to have unsightly wires hanging out the front of my console
i got the fat but the slim is the same and even the pro is not any better since it only has one rear mounted USB port and i found out that an external HDD needs to be in an actual USB port and can not be used with a USB hub so if you use an external HDD you still need to use the front ports
the psvr rats nest of wires would be bad enough but now having to have it plugged into the front USB port and with a hub too
and the fact that i can not even mount the camera on top of the TV because the cable can not be extended beyond 13 feet (and because the camera mount is a piece of shit that would not be able to secure the camera properly anyways)
makes this whole pile of shit completely useless to me
i do not want wires all over the fucking place and there is no way for me to hook it up with having cables running everywhere across the room
this whole system is a dumpster fire and sony will probably still put front mounted USB pots on the ps5 too just like they did with PS3 and PS4
i searched the internet and nobody can even solve this camera cable problem ,people have tried to extend the cable and failed every time
the camera should have been wireless to begin with but there should be a way to wire it beyond this ridiculously short length
i watched teardowns on the fat thinking maybe the USB ports were mounted on a daughter board and i could mod it to put the ports in back ,but nope they are soldered to the MB and it would be a major project to rework them to be rear mounted
VERY poorly designed F-
