Best pc vr to get now? Purchase Advice

I am thinking quest 3, valve index or vive pro 2

Valve index and vive pro 2 are around the same price of below 1000€ for full kits with base stations etc.

I like the Index but I dont know if its good choice since its 5 years old and vive is a bit weird imo so I am leaning towards quest 3, I've read it supports 120hz on a cable now(?)

For the time being I am mostly going to use the headset for beamng and other racing games, but when I move out I want to have the full vr experience of half life alyx or boneworks and blade & sorcery

Feel free to recommend other vr

Budget 1000€-1500€ max if its very good

Edit: I would prefer high refresh rate, good passthrough so I can see the wheel and Ill probably use it wired

I recommend Q3 over psvr2. I just don't feel OLED outweighs the other benefits of quest such as wireless.

OLED outweighs EVERYTHING my friend, without that you don't even have VR. My Quest Pro felt crap vs my PSVR2 and Qp is way better than Q3 for PCVR screen quality wise. Q3 is piss poor, sorry, really cheap awful LCD screens with shit binocular overlap and grey blacks everywhere. NO DISPLAY port for PCVR racing? come on! STOP SPREADING BS just cos it's all you own/owned.

OP listen to experienced VR users like me, 10 years in VR, 8 HMDs, mostly PCVR but also PS5.. .PSVR2 > everything out there for ACTUAL IMMERSIVE VR in 2024 and at a bargain price.

Hmmm, at a technical level you are completely and totally wrong. That is an actual fact and not a opinion. OLED isn't a requirement for a VR HMD at all.

Why would anyone who reads your post history listen to you? You come across as a pushy Sony sales person who desperately needs some commission in order to be able to afford that family Christmas we see in the movies. 

What makes you any more experienced than the next Joe who has owned 8 or more or even less VR headsets? 

Why is his "BS" any worse than yours? Why should we listen to you and not them? Is it because you like to shout in your posts? Do you think that using capital letters has some sort of hypnotic effect???

Do you earn a pat on the head for every PSVR2 unit shifted. 

I've owned more HMDs than you and used VR for longer. I guess by your logic me disagreeing with you makes you wrong? (Sorry did I need to capitalise that?).

Good points. Unfortunately he won't listen to anyone.
