I’ve seen some videos and guides but a lot of them are dated back multiple years.
I’m primarily looking for something to use for watching 3D movies.

Are you looking at the original or psvr2?
I believe the experience is more complete (though unofficial) with psvr1, but work is underway for psvr2 compatibility (again, unofficial)
Edit: psvr2 progress: https://twitter.com/iVRy_VR?s=20
I am looking at the original. They can be found real cheap where I live second hand
I have 0 experience with it, but from what I can tell that same iVRY project is complete for psvr1 (and some other headsets)
If you’re going to buy second hand then you’d be better off with a WMR or Oculus device.
Don’t bother.
I tried this route, you’ll be disappointed. I would advise getting a pre-owned Rift S which are cheap as fuck now.
Works perfectly with steam VR, and has proper tracking controllers. You can’t play Half Life Alyx with the PlayStation set - you can with a rift s. You’re basically cutting out the vast majority of PC VR experiences if you go with the PSVR.
Also you don’t need a Facebook account for the rift s, unlike the quest headsets.
I own a Rift S as well and absolutely hate Meta’s software. On the hardware side of things I’ve had pretty much constant disconnection issues
Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc
The only issue I’ve ever had is having to replug in the usb cable at the start if my pc is started up with it plugged in… but as it’s almost always stored in a box unless I use it, that’s rarely ever a problem.
Maybe it’s the connector on the cable end that plugs into the headset that’s dodgy in your case
I thought it might be a loose connection or a cable issue as well but I’ve tried reseating them and also using an externally powered USB hub because I’ve heard that can fix some issues.
Don’t you need Meta’s software to setup the headset and get your computer to recognize it?
Commenting here so I see a response. Apologies in advance.
Likely just a usb bandwidth limit you are hitting, try unplugging other devices that arent in use, I had this issue with my rift cv1 Edit* Also plug your rift directly into a usb 3.0 port on your motherboard, hubs even powered ones can cause issues with high bandwidth devices
I have tried that. I unplugged everything except a wireless keyboard I used to navigate the menus and it didn’t help
Odd last troubleshooting thing I can think of is to try plugging it into one of your front panel usbs since they are usually using a separate usb controller. Otherwise you might just have a defective unit
