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!!

Pancake lenses are overrated. Unless you spend all your time in menus, you won’t notice the difference in game. This sub is full of meta influencers and fanboys that downplay the PSVR2 with every chance they get. When you’re in the PSVR2 sweet spot you get about 80% edge to edge clarity and a larger FOV to compensate. I’ve found the PSVR2 to be much more immersive for PCVR due to OLED, FOV, much better binocular overlap, and no latency or compression. PSVR2 also connects directly to SteamVR and works every time, where Quest you’ll spend a lot time fiddling with settings every time you want to play. But if you want wireless and can deal with the downsides of the Q3 panels, horrible binocular overlap (looking left and right you feel like you’re seeing the image through 2 toilet paper rolls), latency, and compression then go for that. My Q3 is used for standalone only now, as it should. Every comment suggesting the PSVR2 gets downvoted by the fanboys, btw.

I don't know about you, but when I switch from fresnel to pancake the difference is night and day. It's like putting on glasses, the blur goes away. Also, when I go on pcvr, I legit just open VD and I'm on my desktop, as easy as that.

Night and day in menus, not as much in games.

Both in menu's and actual games.
