Reality Bytes Epi#4 Is now the time to buy a PSVR 2?

About this episode

Eric, Todd, and Skeeva dedicate this episode to a practical buyer's question: is now the time to grab a PSVR2, or should you hold out for the Valve Steam Frame? After some lighthearted talk about Skeeva's vegan Thanksgiving and a detour into Globular Cluster straps, the crew gets into the hardware that matters.

The headset conversation is thorough. They touch on the Apple Vision Pro, dig into the Steam Frame's black-and-white passthrough and the ongoing price debate, then turn to the core question of whether this is the best moment to buy Sony's headset, complete with a proper Sony rant and a celebration of the best VR moments the original PSVR and PSVR2 delivered.

Gaming gets its due as well, with praise for the addictive Roboquest VR and a "what are we playing" segment spanning both flat and VR titles. There's also an Impact and Flat2VR Studios update on what's cooking behind the scenes. If you were weighing a VR purchase heading into the 2025 holidays, this episode lays out the trade-offs clearly and honestly, with enough personality to keep the spec talk fun.
