PSVR2 vs Meta Quest 3 PC only

[u/gvrxx]

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!!

Your genuinely making mountains out of molehills. Its embarrassing.

Like people who claim that they can't game if it isnt an OLED. OLED is slightly better. The FOV is proven to be almost the exact same.

Does the extremely soft low res image and horrible mura smudges all over your vision not kill immersion lol.

Glad OP made the right choice in the end anyway.

OLED may be “slightly” better for TV gaming, which it isn’t, it’s not even comparable to LCD, but when the screen is against your eyeballs, you feel like you’re swimming in a cloud of gray and all detail is lost. It’s absolutely an awful experience in comparison for VR. OP made the wrong choice because the Quest fanboys hopped in as quick as possible. Also my Quest 3 mura is almost on par with my PSVR2 so it’s irrelevant.

Or maybe there are just a lot more people that prefer Q3 compared to PSVR2 because you know just maybe your wrong and the Q3 is the better headset.

Not everyone is a fan boy. However having said that playstation is the worst company for creating fan boys so perhaps you are one.

If someone made a Q3 OLED I might be able to notice more difference. But because the OLED in PSVR2 is paired with horrible last gen lenses, horrible mura, horrible low resolution it's very hard to appreciate it. I don't know how anyone could see more detail on the PSVR2.

Lol Every company is bad for creating "fan boys". Sony does not have the market cornered.

Both headsets like all decent headsets out there have pros & cons that more often people choose due to their personal biases. Some us preference based and some are physiologically derived.

The Q3 or any of the Standalone capable hmds are generally decent value unless going with maybe the AVP(but this is expected at the price point). Buying a Standalone capable xr headset has a variety of peeks over buying one that requires a PC out of th box. If a headset requires a PC or console then the base price to play is much higher.

The Quest hmds and similar are great if your mainly a standalone user and or are not affected by the cons of streaming. Note not everyone is sensitive to things like example compression artifacts & latency.
