If you have an old redundant laptop that's no longer any good for anything, then that would be ideal to dedicate to this role as the processing power required is almost nothing. You will need a PC or laptop to connect to your PS4 all the time while playing.

The PS4 HOTAS-X is currently available for around £69-99, but the PS3 version is around £49-99, and can be found even cheaper 2nd hand. Note that for reasons that will become clear, it does NOT need to be PS4 compatible or even a legacy Playstation controller - ANY kind of game controller that you would like to use will be fine. You will need an additional controller to your Dual Shock controller that comes standard with the PS4 - most serious players will probably be using some kind of flightstick, and the Thrustmaster HOTAS-X is ideal. You will need a PSVR headset - if you're reading this, then you probably already own one or plan to do so.

You will, however have wires trailing EVERYWHERE, so be sure to be organised. You will need some additional hardware to make this work, but there are no software downloads to worry about. It should be noted that the quality of graphics through the PSVR is significantly reduced, but anyone who has been complaining about it not being available is presumably already aware of this and willing to accept the trade off. It looks unlikely that FD are ever going to offer this, but it can be done already. I have read many comments from this forum's users about how they would love to use PSVR with Elite, and if it will ever come. It works perfectly and is beautiful! Sorry this is going to be so long, but there's a lot to cover. I'm not talking about just looking at the screen through your headset, but actual true headlocking movement so that the view moves to the right when you turn your head right, and so on. This is a guide on how to set up a PSVR headset so that you can play it with Elite Dangerous.
