If price can be stretched a bit, you could get both!

Later this month the "PSVR 2" launches. It's a VR headset that Sony's made for the PS5, and it will legitimately be some of the best VR out there for a long time.

If both is out of the price range, getting the PS5 now just let's you get the PSVR2 as an upgrade when the price is within range.

VR is incredible, but just know that the Quest series from Meta is lower tier hardware to keep it small and portable. Linking up that headset to a gaming PC is when you get the best VR experiences, but it doesn't mean there aren't amazing ones on the Quest by itself.

Honestly, if there's interest in both a PS5 and VR, my first suggestion there is your best bet for a double win. Otherwise, VR is gonna be a wildly different experience that is super fun and different than a console.

He would lose his mind if I got both lol, but I'm sure he'd appreciate it. I'm leaning toward VR the more I see all your replies, and I don't think he'd use it often or seriously enough to invest too much into it. But Oculus sounds worth it. Thanks:D

No problem! I try to give people info on VR whenever I can to help out.

If you're thinking about buying used, or just want some info on device care, I made a video a while ago to send to people for instances like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T97X1ypEUTk (10 minutes)
