I wish there was a place where I could try before buying.

I tried an occulus dev kit a long time ago which made me horribly nauseous. I know vr has come a long way since then so I'd love to see if the improvements are sufficient to make it usable for me now or if I'm just doomed to motion sickness with goggle displays.

For what it's worth I think a lot of the nausea goes away the more you play. When I started I couldn't do more than 15 min sessions at first for a week maybe. The other thing I figured out was having a fan and cool air blowing on me made it way better.

Best Buy offers Quest 3 demos. I expect the experience would be pretty comparable to the PSVR2.

The nearest Best Buy didn't have any headset demos. Maybe I should check one closer to downtown. My closest Best Buy has been retrofitted to be mostly fulfillment center now. The product displays are a bit on the meager side.

Might be worth giving them a call to check before making the drive. The one closest to me offers the demos so I assumed they all would, sorry!
