Which VR headset for someone new to VR?

[RebelStorm]

I'm looking at the Quest 2 and Quest 3. There's a huge price gap. Is the 3 really that much improved?

Quest 2 will work if can find one cheap, can be a bit tricky to setup at times for some. Quest 3 is better image quality, better tracking, better processor, better support, better external cameras etc.

If it's cheaper than Quest 3 and readily available in your region, you could also consider PSVR2 (with the PC adaptor releasing in August) as a potential wired entry point. Quest 2 is okay... but depending on the game you want to play, the controllers might not work properly.

Of course this could be true for both Quest 3 and PSVR2, as well. But I don't have a Quest 3 (far to expensive as I already have Quest 2 from before the price hike) to compare, and PSVR2 won't be comparable until August.

Ultimately though, the choice should also take into account how much you think you'll stick with VR. If you've never tried it before and think that VR sickness might be an issue, a cheap Quest 2 would be your best bet -- you don't want to throw away too much money on something you might find you cannot use.

I can get a 128GB Quest 2 for $200.

If that's second hand, make sure it's not a business headset.

Get a good one, but chances are you won't use it much anyway, mine sits on a stand but it looks cool

The Pico 4[www.picoxr.com] is a good alternative that won't run you $1000 like an Index and won't require you to sell your soul to Zuckerberg like the Quest.
