If you're playing your PC games fine on your Quest 3 (Streaming or USB compression and lag isn't bothering you)..and you like the stand alone games... then Quest 3 might be enough for you. Especially if you enjoy dancing games or ones where you're moving all over the place. And you got used to the pancake lenses.
With the PSVR2, it's wired..so you don't have to worry about battery life...and connected by Display Port connection.....meaning you are getting an uncompressed feed of your PC game.. no lag. And it's an 4K OLED headset. You might enjoy watching 3D movies and other media on it because of the screen. (Quest uses LCD) If you plan to play driving and flying games, imo the PSVR2 is the better headset for that.
But yeah it would be good to try both, if you have the option.

Yeah the PC adapter releases next week. $60. But like you said, maybe Costco might be the better option for you.
Edit- seems I have some Quest 3 fan/employee following me around down voting any post lol. I meant what in this ^ post warrents a down vote? 🙃
You mentioned wanting to play PCVR Games - I play my Quest 3 on a fully wireless setup (Half Life Alyx) and have no issues. VirtualDesktop is my preferred app, some have better luck with SteamVR app and others have luck with the Oculus PC App, so try them all. People seem to get better results from these (wirelessly) than the USB Cable (assuming if you have a good router and are in the same room)
I think the PSVR2 might look better for PCVR, but it's quite a troublesome setup to me. It needs a $60 adapter, multiple cables (USB C, a Displayport 1.4 cable and I believe a power brick), setting up bluetooth, and keeps you tethered to your PC. I have 2 Displayport and 1 HDMI output, and all 3 are going to different monitors so I'd need to remove one if I wanted to connect a PSVR2.

Especially since I bought a lot of games for it
Yes I know many games were updated but not all of the games were updated so it stings
It is not backwards compatible. You can't even play PSVR1 games on a PSVR2 unless the developer specifically adapted it. A LOT of classics and basic games are just not available. Like even beat saber isn't available. I don't particularly like the game but it's one of the first things people see on videos of modern VR platforms.
Overall it's likely the worst gaming purchase I've ever made. The hardware is excellent. The software is non-existent. It wasn't the lack of interest that killed it. It was Sony's lack of support that killed interest.

It was worth it just for that game at $550... it's a steal for $350 if you like racing/cars. Being inside a muscle car from the 70s...or a car from the early 90s that wish I had back then... is just such a cool feeling. The interiors.. the sound. So cool.
