I’ve seen some videos and guides but a lot of them are dated back multiple years.

I’m primarily looking for something to use for watching 3D movies.

      I have 0 experience with it, but from what I can tell that same iVRY project is complete for psvr1 (and some other headsets)

      Don’t bother.

      I tried this route, you’ll be disappointed. I would advise getting a pre-owned Rift S which are cheap as fuck now.

      Works perfectly with steam VR, and has proper tracking controllers. You can’t play Half Life Alyx with the PlayStation set - you can with a rift s. You’re basically cutting out the vast majority of PC VR experiences if you go with the PSVR.

      Also you don’t need a Facebook account for the rift s, unlike the quest headsets.

        I own a Rift S as well and absolutely hate Meta’s software. On the hardware side of things I’ve had pretty much constant disconnection issues

          Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc

          The only issue I’ve ever had is having to replug in the usb cable at the start if my pc is started up with it plugged in… but as it’s almost always stored in a box unless I use it, that’s rarely ever a problem.

          Maybe it’s the connector on the cable end that plugs into the headset that’s dodgy in your case

            I thought it might be a loose connection or a cable issue as well but I’ve tried reseating them and also using an externally powered USB hub because I’ve heard that can fix some issues.

            Don’t you need Meta’s software to setup the headset and get your computer to recognize it?

      If you’re going to buy second hand then you’d be better off with a WMR or Oculus device.
