The exterior is blue and protects the white box inside. So there are two parts. The PlayStation symbols (triangle, circle, cross and square) around the white rectangle are inspired by the 360 ​​degree virtual space concept. Inside the white box is another box with the accessories needed for the configuration. This includes a user manual, a USB cable for charging and pairing the controllers, stereo headphones that connect to a VR headset, and ear tips. These eartips come in three sizes: small, medium and large, with the medium size eartips pre-installed on the headphones. You can change them to the size that suits you best. Then we have the PS VR2 headset and the left and right PS VR2 Sense controllers. The controllers come with straps attached. The inside of the box is made from paper pulp made from sugar cane and fast growing bamboo. It should be noted that we have tried to be as environmentally friendly as possible by using paper cable ties and the minimum amount of plastic packaging.
