Cheaper than a Quest 3, even after you add in the $60 PC adapter.

I saw a review that mentioned weird warping artifacts when using the PS VR2 with the PC adapter. They called it a "dealbreaker". I don't know if it was fixed after the review was published in August 2024.

Sadly that adapter has a bunch of limitations compared to using the PS VR2 with a PS5.

I'll wait till it's in the bargain bin like I did with PSVR. Ain't spending that much for barely any games and gimped PC support.
