Is the Quest 3 really such a big improvement over the Quest 2? (self.virtualreality)

Im asking because I've been thinking about buying a headset but keep seeing that the Quest 3 is a much better experience than the Quest 2, even at a higher price. So is the 3 actually that much better that, even with a price of 550 Euros, it's worth it?

Never tried VR so can't compare it.

I had a 2 now I have a 3 and the difference is massive. The standalone stuff is as good as my PC is for PCVR; actually a bit better. And my PC was purpose built for mid-range VR gaming. I can't even stand to play VRchat on PC now because it looks and runs like ass compared to the standalone Quest version on the 3. Hella makes me want to upgrade the PC.

Not to mention the comfort features, the weight difference, and more. It is definitely worth the extra $200 from a Q2.

That sounds great! I've been thinking that I'd probably use it for PCVR. Tho, I'm not sure what my general performance would be. Then again, I can't compare it to anything.

Performance depends on your PC specs, which are?
