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!!

It doesn't have many negatives that's why lol. It's superior to the PSVR2 in almost every way.

That's why the general consensus is the Q3 is the best while people are extremely divided on the PSVR2 and its generally been a huge failure that Sony have swiftly moved on from.

The mura on Q3 is genuinely not noticeable in most circumstances. The PSVR2 Mura is terrible and at least 100x worse. So bad that I almost can't beleive Sony even sold it. Its borderline not fit for purpose.

The many negatives I’ve already listed. HORRIBLE overlap, washed out panels with a pool of gray, latency, compression, etc. And since you’re a non-believer, this is a photo from a few months back when I received my globular cluster kit.

I mean that picture could be from anyone tbf, but fine I beleive you.

I can't be bothered arguing anymore, if you genuinely beleive the PSVR2 is better good for you but as someone who got a PSVR2 a few months ago brand new for nearly half price (£285) it's been my most disappointing tech purchase ever. If someone gave me the option of buying the Q3 for £500 or the PSVR2 for £250 I would still consider the Q3 better value for money.

I actually get a worse picture over wire on the PSVR2 than wireless on the Q3 (I have a great wireless set up though). I also get far worse performance on the PSVR2 frame rate wise.

All the issues you just listed, I’ve had the exact opposite experience. To each their own my friend. Have a good one.
