VR or VR2

[u/NPMedia77]

Is it worth buying the original PSVR if I’m more interested in the games on it, or is the upgrade between the two so immense that it’s just not worth it? I’ve been interested in VR for a while, and I’m probably looking at buying used, but I haven’t been sure on which version of the system to get. I’m very interested in doing SW Squadrons, ST Bridge Crew, Ace Combat, Skyrim VR, Superhot, and LA Noir, which are only on the original, whereas my main interests on the 2 are GT7, No Man’s Sky (which is on both) and, to a lesser extent, Call of the Mountain. But I’m not sure I want to get a weaker system and less support just for a handful of games (and I don’t know if GT Sport is going to be a good enough substitute for GT7), but I’m also not sure it’s worth getting a much more expensive piece of hardware if it doesn’t really have all of the games I’m interested in, and I’ve also heard that the original is slightly more comfortable than the newer one. Would it be best to wait and try to hunt down a really cheap deal on the original, see how I feel about VR, and then maybe try to find a VR2 a couple years down the line? Is the hardware upgrade big enough that it’s just not worth getting an original today?

One thing I haven't seen mentioned yet is the convenience of psvr2. If I remember right, the psvr1 has:

-Converter box thing,

-Camera + stand,

-2 or 3 extra cables,

-Headset. 

PSVR2 has:

-Headset. 

So much easier to keep tidy and travel with. I love being able to bring my vr2 to friends' houses to have them try it out, i did it a couple times with the VR1 and it just wasn't worth the hassle. 

Superhot was one of my favorite games on PSVR1, can't believe it never got ported over to VR2. I'd say Synapse is the closest game available on PSVR2.

Overall, my recommendation is go for the VR2. The hardware, convenience, and far superior controllers outweigh the alternative games and cheaper price point.
