Have you used any other VR headset? I ask just cuz I wanna know how the PSVR2 compares to other headsets.

I’ve used pretty much all of the headsets on the market. I still haven’t tried a Big screen VR headset though :(
For popular headsets I’d rank them kinda like this
- Valve Index - it’s just really old and really expensive now, don’t buy one unless you get a hell of a deal on it used
- Quest 2 - Still very very good, screens are getting a little dated now
- PSVR2 - its a little janky on PC but it works fine and the OLEDs are sublime
- Pixmax Crystal - Money not a problem this is the best headset I’ve tried. The FOV is crazy, displays are beautiful, and tracking is damn near perfect. Its just like $2300 for the whole lot
- Quest 3 - Overall the best headset on the market. Its $570 (just get the pro strap, trust me) and gets you so close to the big boys in screen quality, plus it’s wireless, plus it has crazy good passthrough (I use it a lot, most people don’t), and streams PC games perfectly.
PSVR2 has really really really good looking displays, but it has some other downsides which really bring it down in the rankings. I’d stay away from it unless you get a deal on a used one, then it would absolutely be worth it.

The only other one ove used is psvr1, and one of those smart phone ones, psvr2 is obvioisly miles ahead of bith, though i cant say how it compares to Index, or quest. Id imagine its probably near quest quality.

That is why those other VR sets are so cheap.
With valve, you’re paying for the hardware. With Meta, you’re the product
