GAME receives backlash for charging people to try PSVR

A whole host of stores across the country are offering it.

Various outlets of GAME have offered people the chance to try PSVR in store, however, they have received criticism online for charging people to do so, as it is £5 for 10 minutes, £10 for 20 minutes and £15 for 30 minutes.

In the demo you allegedly get a demonstration of how to use the software by a member of staff, and if you decide to buy it the price gets knocked off the deposit. Also, if you've already bought it, the demo is free. The demo does, however, come with a lot of rules, which are as follows:

"- Remain seated at all times and until headset is removed;
- close eyes and raise your hand if you become uncomfortable and want to stop the demo;
- remain calm and minimise erratic head and limb movements;
- stop moving if Game staff place a hand on your shoulder;
- not touch, remove or interfere with the headset or connected equipment except as directed by Game staff."

After the tweets advertising the offer were posted (one of which can be seen here), many people tweeted their outrage. One user postulated that it might be a breach of the EULA and another called it "exploitative", the core of the anger being that GAME charge people for the demo. What do you think? Is it reasonable to charge or should it be free?
