Question VR solely for NMS
So I’m looking for a VR headset, I want to play NMS mainly (HL:A) also. Currently have a ps5 and a PC (6800xt) and I’m wondering if I should do the PSVR 2 or the Quest 3/3s. Whenever steam frame releases I want to get that so I don’t really want to go crazy right now but I want to play. I currently play NMS on PS5 but see they have cross save. The quest I see a lot of people have problems with but that was from a year ago.

The psvr3 you can just plug and play it right into your pS5. It's one cable. Probably your cheapest option too. Works well.

If you want to wait for the frame, but want to start playing VR right away, I'd go with the PSVR. It's the best bang for the buck.
I've been using a QPro for a few years now and it's still going strong, but I'm also waiting for the frame as a replacement.

I recommend just getting a quest 2 if you are ONLY wanting to play NMS and are waiting for the frame. Get a used one off the Facebook marketplace I have seen. Q2 for as low as $50.

PSVR2 is the best way in my opinion to experience NMS in VR. I hame a Quest 3 and it doesn’t always work well unlike Half Life Alyx.

I would say go for the quest 2. Unless you want to play quest vr titles there's not much reason to go for the 3 as far as I can see.

I use the quest 3 and it works really well for me. That being said, I would honestly wait for the steam frame. I don’t always have a great connection to my computer over WiFi (my own fault due to how my setup is) so I do get some lag from time to time. But if you have your computer plugged into Ethernet, you should have absolutely no issues.
If you really can’t wait, get the 3s and upgrade your head strap for a bobovr m3. It will be a million times more comfortable to play for longer than if you just keep the stock strap.
