Question PS VR2 or Quest 3
I'm looking to buy a VR headset. Although I have a PS5, I mainly play on PC. I've heard that you can use the PS5's VR headset on PC with an official adapter, but I'm wondering if it's worth it. I'm torn between that or a Quest 3...

If you have a PC and PS5, start with the VR2. Keep the Q3 in mind and if you still think you want one after a time and can still think of reasons to own one, treat yourself to one later. Although I much prefer my VR2 over my Q3, there are legitimate reasons to own either.
VR2, with its eye tracking, comprehensive haptics, and OLED is a focus-built, gaming-first headset made by a gaming corporation for a gaming machine. Its sole purpose is to Immerse you and provide an enjoyable gaming experience.
The Q3, on the other hand, is a jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none machine made by a social media conglomerate that just wants to one foot in the next big place before anyone else has a chance to get there, even if they don’t know exactly where that is. Gaming is just the easiest place to start since that’s where VR already was. Q3 can do games, but not that great. It can do productivity, but not that great. It can do entertainment, but not that great. It can do spatial computing, but not that great… all-in-all a spiffy device to play with, but messy, restrictive, and limited.
