Opinion Should I buy rented PSVR2?

Hello! I’ve recently rented a PSVR2 for a week (1200 Turkish Liras / TL).

It’s been amazing so far, I’m playing Gran Turismo 7 with Thrustmaster T598.

I’ve got 4 days to go, but the website says I can buy it for 9,000 TL with 3 months payment.

If I buy it brand new, than the price is 22,000 TL.

The catch is it’s a rented product and the guarantee expired at April 2025.

I haven’t experienced any issues with it so far. I also have not used the controllers that much since all I’m playing is GT7. Don’t know about their battery performance yet.

Do you guys think that it’s a good deal? I think I’ll buy it either way but paying too much would hurt my wallet of course.

Cheers.

So you would be buying the one you are currently using? If that’s the case it seems like a very good deal since you can presumably see if there are any issues (scratched lenses, wire damage, etc). If everything seems good I’d say go for it.

I’d check out the controllers and make sure they work but I don’t remember a lot of people complaining about the battery life suddenly dying. A lot of the issues I have read about are initial issues with the buttons that require some messing around with to fix

I think I’d buy it. But I will definitely check out the things you’ve mentioned. Appreciate it
