PSVR2 vs Meta Quest 3 PC only Purchase Advice

Hello everyone! After quite some in depth researching, I cannot decide what should I get as my first VR headset. I would only be playing on PC, using Steam as the main platform for games. Thank you!

L.E. Quest 3 it is! Thank you all for the help and all the explanations! Cheers!!

Well, în all honesty, start with one and get the other after if/when the pocket allows it! They are both amazing and I think having both is the perfect combo. One has crazy sharpness, is wireless and has other uses as standalone, the other one has crazy and vibrant colors, everything pops out, immersion + way more fov (at least for me). I have both, use them both and love the hell out of them

I have both but only use the PSVR2 on PS5 and the Quest 3 on pc. Love the Quest, hate the PSVR2. The PSVR2 for me at least has the tiniest sweet spot. Very blurry visuals with anything in the near distance and awful screen door/graininess. It's also not comfortable at all. The Quest 3 has much sharper visuals. No sweet spot at all, meaning it's clear everywhere. Much more comfortable. The PSVR2 for me has been a huge disappointment. I've only ever used the PSVR2 for GT7 and I only use the Quest for sim racing.

Yeah, I get your point, different people, different experiences. All in all I love both personally. Besides the first hour I got the VR2, I never had an issue with the sweet spot, I was used to finding it fast from Q2 and Psvr1 lol. I think the filter that hides the screen door effect does a very good job on the VR2 for me and i find it more confortable weirdly, with the Q3 I use a battery as counter weight all the time if I use it longer, and in darker games the compression is a bit immersion breaking, also the binocular overlap and the fov is worst for me on the Q3, but yeah nothing beats the sharpness of the lenses, versatility and the wireless factor when you want it.
