    Nowadays the lenses, resolution, and panels REALLY hold back the Valve Index. I don't think it's worth getting anymore unfortunately.

      As a daily driver of a Valve Index. I too agree with everything stated here. I would also add. The finger tracking isn't anything more than a novelty. It was never that accurate and has little support in games. Lastly, the controllers are not built to last. I have had 1 analog stick wear out so badly it flops around like those old N64 sticks used to. And the grip panel snapped off. On the replacement that cost $150. The grip panel also snapped off. I am not hard on my tech. This is Outrageous for a supposedly premium $1000 product. That said. I have also had THE BEST entertainment experiences of my life in it so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I'm keen to see what Valve would do with a new headset release, but I can't help but think the competition is so stiff with Quest 3/3S and the inevitable 4, that the business-heads are probably (rightly) thinking that doing so may not be a good proposition nowadays.

      @@MostlyPositiveChannel yeah, Index would be far from worth it even if it was the same price as the PSVR2. But at $1k base, plus the inevitable $100+ per pop repair costs for the cables and controllers (which WILL fail after a couple hundred hours), it becomes an even more ridiculous proposition.

    The PSVR2 is still at its full price of $550. It went on sale one time for $350 and that was definitely the best price it has ever been. In fact that's a pretty acceptable price all things considered. But $550 is just crazy. Especially with all the other things you NEED to buy to get it working smoothly on PC.

    • @MostlyPositiveChannel
      @MostlyPositiveChannel  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +8

      100%. Honestly $550 is acceptable for a headset with no downsides, but that literally doesn't exist yet. Every single headset I've seen has at least 1 thing about it that another does perfect and vice versa.

    I'm still using the Oculus Rift S I got back in September 2020. I havent found anything I wanted to replace it with. Perfect tracking, hassle free setup and built in sound. The only thing I missed a little in the beginning was the oled screens my Vive had. I do NOT miss having to wear headphones though. And I got the rift for 420 bucks which was a pretty nice price. I only use it for car sims and never use the controllers so I don't really know how good/bad they are.

      I would definitely love to try them out one day. The Xbox Elite controller is my controller of choice. The back paddles are a godsend. I can't justify buying a DualSense controller just for a few neat features, plus I'm not a fan of the symmetrical stick layout. I've seen people keeping tabs on Sony logging new versions of the PSVR app on Steam, so it's possible that official support could come one day.

    I've been wanting to get into VR Gaming, and this headset seems like it's been worth every single buck, if you own a capable PC or PS5. I do need graphics card upgrade before then, waiting on the Radeon 8000 cards to see what AMD has been cooking and if any of them come with VirtualLink supported so that there'd be no reason for the adapter, even tho this might be unlikely.

    Great video! I have to ask - after all that you ended up spending on it, do you think it might've been worth it to get an Index instead?

    • @MostlyPositiveChannel
      @MostlyPositiveChannel  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      Thanks man, much appreciated! It totally depends on what exactly you want. A lot of people don't have space for base station tracking, like myself, so inside out tracking is a godsend. On top of that, the Index, while still impressive, is definitely showing its age. The tracking is phenomenal, but the lenses are subpar compared to modern headsets. The Index controllers work with a number of different headsets, so you don't actually need the Index itself to experience the benefits of the controllers and base station tracking. Then there's the fact that the public knows Valve is working on a new VR headset, we just don't know when it will come out. I'd say for the average consumer, the choices are really between the PSVR2 and Quest 3 right now.

  • @SanctusBacchus
    @SanctusBacchus 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Picked one up open box from ebay with the charging stand included for $300, now that I've used it I definitely wouldnt pay more. Maybe my expectations were too high, the last HMD i used was the CV1 a couple years ago, with no VR in between, and comparing the specs and my memories i expected to be blown away. But I wasn't, the res isnt as crazy high as i thought, it still looks like im looking into the world through binoculars (my prescription lens inserts dont help I'm sure), and the mura doesnt bother me that much but is definitely noticable.
    And thats not going into the compromises i had to make (i cant run my triple 10-bit 4k monitor setup with this connected), and how hard it was to get it working.

    • @MostlyPositiveChannel
      @MostlyPositiveChannel  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I didn't have any issues with either the G2 or PSVR2 controllers in terms of batter life. For the PSVR2, I had multiple sessions that lasted around 3 hours straight and they didn't die. There's also a setting on Steam where you can have them auto turn off after a set amount of time of inactivity. While making this video, I often switched between editing and gathering footage. So while Steam VR and the headset were running, the controllers just auto turned off while I worked on other things. I hope this helped ✌️

    Is it possible to watch TH-cam in VR with the psvr2 on the PC? Because on PS5 they killed the VR function (it worked on PS4 back in the day).
    I know that VR content on YT kinda died for some reason, but i happen to really love it actually. Traveling to places that i otherwise never would go to. As well as videos from VR content creators who make really fun videos. Some bands even do (or did) VR livestreams so you can see them perform on stage, in VR.
