Meta all the way. They're in it for the long haul. Sony likes to release new hardware and discontinue support almost immediately. Not being tethered to a console or PC is a game changer.
Everyone here seems to be ignoring one big thing about Sony's support for this headset... Their support doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. Pretty much any current VR developer that isn't owned by Sony or Meta is developing their games for PSVR2 where they will look and run significantly better than a Quest 3. PSVR2 is way more immersive due to its better comfort, unique features (eye tracking, adaptive triggers, headset rumble), and OLED displays. It's not as clear cut as people are making it out to be. PSVR can be an absolute powerhouse compared to Meta, but it's not right for everyone. Do your research, there are pros and cons to both. For me, the ease of use and fidelity of the PSVR make it a better choice since I already owned a PS5 and don't have a high end gaming PC.

Seems as though Sony abandoned this psvr2... but this is a great price. Im inbetween this and the meta quest 3s mainly to play Batman. What are your guys thoughts?

Maybe you already know this but for someone new to VR should know that PSVR2 requires a PS5 console while meta quest is a standalone.

Also the new Batman Arkham Shadow game is exclusive to the Meta Quest 3 or 3S.

They did release an adapter for it to work with PC. But it does feel like they abandoned it for PS5. PC release is most likely to get the PC devs to help them revive it.

I respectfully disagree. Meta's priority is IG/FB/WhatsApp and they bought out Oculus and sadly Meta has no innovation talent. Amazon and Google tried to get into the gaming market and failed miserably. Sony knows how to make video games the right way, go with Sony.

Sony seemed to have abandoned it months ago, but there are still some games coming out for it.
I paid the ~$600? at launch, also had the PSVR1, the Quest, Quest 2 and Quest 3 before that..
It's nice to have, but most of the games for it have been a little bit of a letdown (and with them being $40/50/60 now, it hurts even harder). I've been playing the Quest 3 more. I found the best games for it were previously 2D games that ended up getting a VR upgrade (Resident Evil 4 remake, Resident evil 8, Gran turismo)
I do like the controllers and the OLED screens.. but the fact it needs to be tethered to a PS5 is a bit annoying, the older style fresnel lenses are a letdown as well. The fact it uses a black and white passthrough is also a bummer, as the Quest 3's color passthru does a great job with mixed reality.
At $350, it's worth it for big VR Fans. I just don't have a whole lot of hope for future games.. but if you don't mind being tethered, it seems to work the best for multi platform games.

I have both the PSVR 2 and Quest 3. I think the Quest 3 is a better purchase. Quest 3 uses pancake lens and the PSVR 2 uses Fresnel lens. There's a huge difference with the sweet spot in viewing and pancake lens are universally preferred. However, please note the Quest 3S uses fresnel (this was so they could cut down on costs). I'll break down what I think are the pros for each below:
Quest 3/3S has more exclusives such as Super Hot, Batman, Lego, Asgard's Wrath. It is also completely wireless, and for games like Super Hot it helps considerably with immersion. I prefer playing fitness games on the quest. BodyCombat, or Super Natural (another exclusive) play better since wires don't get in the way. The passthrough is in color and does a better job than PSVR 2. It's portable, you can bring this on trips if you game on the go or want a portable workout during travel.
PSVR 2 graphics are generally better and there are a couple games you cannot get on Quest 3 like Horizon, Synapse, GT7. The controllers for PSVR 2 are more immersive with adaptive triggers. Games like Beat Saber and Pistol Whip I prefer playing because of the frame rate, graphical enhancements, and tracking is better. There's also unique features on PSVR 2 such as eye tracking, that is used for games like Synapse.

Remember the PS Move? 😒

Support for this product isn't great. Need a new proprietary cable? Not sure if that's even available. New controllers? Hope that Sony has stock.
With that said, for the few unique experiences this has, it's a nice product. It's comfortable, the controllers work great, and if you like racing games, then you're in luck with this. GT7 is amazing in VR.
The Quest 3 has a lot going for it, too. I would expect better support and a bigger library of games optimized well for the hardware. With that said, full console games in VR are superior to the experiences you typically find on the Quest. If you're choosing between them, most will probably prefer the Quest because it just has so much more stuff to do.
It's disappointing that Sony so quickly abandoned this product. I don't even know why they offered it, honestly. They didn't plan well for it, didn't market it well, and then didn't support it.
