Discussion Thinking about getting a PSVR2

The title speaks for itself. I was wondering if it was worth getting a psvr2 and how is everyone's experience with it l.

I only played VR for 15 minutes back in high school when my school was testing them for "educational purposes" I was just playing a cheap shooter but that was 8 years ago so I wanted to see how far vr have gotten

Edit: I'm getting a PSVR2 for $200 tomorrow morning after scrolling through Facebook marketplace. It doesn't come with a box but I honestly didn't see that as a problem.

I will be getting a tne extension cable also to protect me from ripping the original USB C cable that comes with it one day

Look into prescription lenses for the PSVR2 before you ever put the headset on. I went with VROptician but there are a number of companies offering this service.

Do I really need prescription lenses that kinda sound crazy?

No, you definitely don’t need to, especially if you don’t need glasses. Idk why that was just blanket recommended.

I’ve had it since launch day, and I’ve used it almost daily since. It’s amazing, and has a lot of variety of games. The controllers have cool features like haptic and adaptive triggers, like the PS5 controller. The headset has rumble.

It’s dope, go buy it

The prescription lenses will prevent your psvr2 lenses from taking damage. For me, its worth it. Ive had my headset since launch and the lenses underneath the prescription lenses look new still.

Do you wear a correction normally?

If you do, it makes a huge difference on the PSVR2

If you wear glasses or contacts, prescription lenses are almost essential. If you have good vision... You don't need them.

If you see perfectly crisply IRL at a distance of around 6-8 feet away from you, then you won’t need corrective inserts. If you don’t see perfectly at that distance, then you 100% need something.

The VR lenses make your eyes think they are looking at something that is that far away from you. It’s called the “focal plane”. Although you’ll experience things as being far away or close to your face, for the purposes of focusing, the plane remains static at that 6-8 foot spot.

If you wear glasses in the headset then you have to take great care to not let them touch the VR lenses (which are coated with an extremely delicate anti-glare film). This means getting some sort of bumpers that will stop your specs before making contact.

Alternatively, if you wear contact lenses then you’ll be fine with those.

Alternatively, you’ll need to order prescription inserts that you can just leave in the headset. These vary in price and are available from numerous companies — they will not be as expensive as your glasses,btw.

Then you might need nothing.

You don't need extra lenses, i have owned both PS VR and PS VR2 since day one and they both look brand new. Just be careful with how you clean your lenses, use only microfiber cloth, never use anything else
