 A colleague is offering to sell me their old Sony PSVR headset for an

to admit I'm somewhat tempted. I know I won't use the thing very much,
but... well, the price is pretty good, and who am I to turn up the
opportunity of adding another gadget to the collection?

It also depends on the condition of the device. I've been told its in
working condition... but if it's all yellowed with chewed-up foam and
sweat-covered, I'm not sure I'd want it. ;-)

Just how discounted are we talking? You can get a refurbished one from gamestop for $80, less than that just used from ebay.

Has anyone tried the PSVR on PC? Should I even bother?

Not I.  I tried my Quest 2, but my computer wasn't up to it at the time.   I still need to get around to trying it with the new setup.  Fallout 3 & 4 and Skyrim supposed to be pretty fun in VR.  I'm not sure they'll work with non-PC VR as when I looked last time it didn't seem to be possible, but I've read compatibility has been improving.
