"Psvr2 will offer you more compared to quest 3. All the PS5 exclusives."

Pimax

4.3

"As a pimax owner, it will be a long time before i make the switch to another one, the feeling of immersion is simply incredible"

"Been using the Crystal for several months now and it really is fantastic. the resolution is amazing. It supports 120Hz refresh and features eye tracking."

"A Quest 2 could also be a good option as you don't need to drag your computer around."
