PS5’s PSVR2 Outperforming Monster PC Rigs, Is the Pinnacle of Virtual Reality | Push Square

I love VR and cant wait for PSVR2.

Is it expensive? Yes, if you compare it to a Quest 2, which is effectively a mobile phone with lenses on (look at the Quest 2 release of Grid Legends) – albeit a very good one (I love my Q2)

Is it expensive if you compare it to equivalent VR setups?

Valve Index – £1200 plus a £1-2K PC (Good but not OLED, no HDR, and needs base stations mounted around the room to track it – wired)
Vive Cosmos – £700 plus £1-2K PC (Also good, but also needs base stations mounted around the room – wired)
HP Reverb – £599 plus £1-2K PC (note, on sale for £400) – Good – no base stations, wired – great resolution)

PSVR2 – £500 plus £400 console (£500 for disc version)
Plus it has some of the highest specs of all of them

For VR enthusiasts this is bargain. For those who enjoy mobile gaming it might seem expensive but for what you are getting its an incredible price. The only real downside for me is that I cant stream PC games through it, or access the wealth of indie games and apps that make the PC version so appealing.

However – the Quest 2 and Pico 4 do allow you to play PCVR games without wires, and do it pretty well imho, but it does cut down on the resolution and framerate due to using wifi to send the pictures – but for £400 if you have a decent PC VR gaming setup I think the Pico 4 in particular gives the Vive and even the Index a run for its money if you use it with Steam and Virtual Desktop
