The PlayStation VR2 is on sale for $350 on Cyber Monday, down from its usual price of $550 or $600 if you buy a Horizon: Call of the Mountain bundle.
The Meta Quest 3S is also available at its base price this Cyber Monday, but comes with a $75 digital gift card with purchase.
One advantage of buying the PlayStation VR2 is its game library and valuable exclusives, such as Horizon: Call of the Mountain.
The PlayStation VR2 is also a high-quality headset with a clear OLED display and four embedded cameras.
However, Sony may not support the headset for much longer and it might not provide good long-term value.
The Meta Quest 3S is a wireless system with a lightweight design and strong library of games, including some of VR’s best exclusives.
It is also cheaper than the PlayStation VR2, even at its $200 discount.
The Meta Quest 3S's technical specs may be lower compared to the PlayStation VR2, but it can be a better option for a more casual entry to VR.
The PlayStation VR2 has some technical advantages, but it is only recommended if you want the clearest display possible or want a device that pairs with the PlayStation ecosystem.
Overall, the Meta Quest 3S is recommended as a better choice for its standalone capability and strong game library.
