Which is better for someone without a console?

The Quest 3S. It is standalone, so it runs games and apps on its own. The PSVR2 needs a PS5 to work at all.

Is the PSVR2 worth the extra $36?

If you own a PS5, yes. You get a sharper display, a wider field of view and eye tracking. Without a PS5, the total cost is far higher.

Which has the better picture?

The PSVR2. Its 2000 x 2040 per-eye panels and 110-degree field of view beat the Quest 3S at 1832 x 1920 and 96 degrees.

Which has more games?

The Quest 3S. The Meta Quest store is larger, and it also plays PC VR through Link or Air Link. The PSVR2 library is limited to PS5 titles.

Which is more comfortable for long sessions?

The PSVR2 has no battery, so it does not run out mid-session, but it is tethered. The Quest 3S lasts about 2.5 hours per charge and many owners upgrade the strap.

Can the Quest 3S play PlayStation VR games?

No. The two libraries are separate. Quest titles run on Meta hardware, and PSVR2 titles require a PS5.
