Takeaway: How can you prove mom and dad are crazy for flying in on Thanksgiving? A blogger dons his investigative journalist badge, files a Freedom of Information Act request with the San Francisco government, and opens up Excel.

Beat Saber PSVR Won’t Have Custom Songs But New Music To Come ‘Regularly’
Source: Upload VR
Takeaway: As someone who has become obsessed with Beat Saber since it's release earlier this year, I'm incredibly disappointed to hear that the PSVR version won't have custom songs! So far I have only had the chance to play the addictive rhythm game on an HTC Vive and an Oculus Rift owned by friends and family members. That being said, I have just been given a PSVR for personal use, which just happened to time up perfectly with the Beat Saber for PSVR release last weekend. However...this new knowledge of PlayStation's closed system blocking out custom song mods has greatly decreased my enthusiasm. We'll just have to wait and see if game developer Beat Games actually lives up to their promise of releasing "regular music packs" for PSVR in the future.
