Both have very similar PC requirements...have a good PC or you will not enjoy your VR experiences as much
Your do need a fairly powerful PC to run this, don't buy this if you don't have a gtx 970 or greater - or if you don't know what that means.
The Playstation VR is certainly the cheapest option by far because unlike the Rift and Vive, you don't need an expensive PC to use it; all you need is a Playstation 4
There are several caveats to this, the first being you need a fairly powerful gaming PC for this to work
If you have a good enough pc to run it and enough space I highly recommend!
Their product is defective and they inconvenience you while they sort it out.
The HTC VIVE, a great product that introduces you to what Virtual Reality is really like
An expensive but wonderful, immersive and entertaining product is completely tarnished in my eyes because of the worst possible customer service situation that I’ve experienced in my life of 36 years
Its a great product if you actually get a working device.
But besides that this product is great and definitely should buy on and give it a try.
Most of the good games will cost you extra but there are really good games
Some of the coolest games, like the Lab, are totally free.
as many good quality games are there are for other VR headsets
I've yet to play a game that doesn't crash on me sooner or later.-The hardware is as buggy as the games
As long as you are OK with being an early adopter (which comes with its own set of benefits like cheaper games) and understand that not every game is going to be 100% polished, this is the best device you could put this money towards
things will inevitably crash, it's possible it might be hardware related (in my case and HDMI cable shorted) but despite all that I would still give this thing 10*
The most annoying thing was waiting for the vr software and then games to download
This is absolutely the most amazing thing I have ever seen
This is probably the best thing I have ever purchased.. I love my VIVE!
After about ~20 hours of use, I can tell you that I don't regret a damn thing
I did everything on my end to make the base station work as I don't like returning things especially something that I really really wanted to enjoy with friends

How could it possibly have water damage after only one successful use?

Water damage is not covered under the htc limited warranty
After roughly 2-3 weeks, the vive began having tracking issues where it would seem as though I was drifting away from my hands, and the HMD would regularly flash to grey
Lunar Flight, where you do missions on the moon, very difficult at first but very rewarding as you get better flying the moon module
I did not buy the Vive from Amazon, only because I took advantage of a Cyber Monday deal and bought a Syber C Elite system that included the Vive with it for two hundred off its normal price.
It does have a tendency to get people sea sick as the motion is not always silky smooth as of yet and pixelation and

I would recommend getting a different product like occulus rift instead, or any other system.

Fantastic I love it
More and more I am starting to believe I should have bought an Occulus Rift from looking at their store the support seems significantly better, even PlayStation VR has exculsives, and real AAA titles things the HTC VIVE sorely lacks.

The one thing do not like is that (and this sounds like it is just my unit for some reason
Be warned that if your unit is defective, they will NOT replace it
I had a defective unit(software wise), updated the drivers and firmware, adjusted settings in the control panel, searched hours upon hours of error codes which had very little if not any resolution to most of the issues, and even SteamVR being a huge pain in the 4th point of
I did buy top notch gaming computer and now am hoping it was just a defective unit I received.
When I requested an exchange from Amazon they sent me out an entire brand new system THAT DAY and shipped it ON A SUNDAY, and all they ask is that I return the defective unit within 30 days
This is the most inane customer service I think I've ever seen from a company
I have had better customer experience with Spectrum cable than HTC.
I'm not sure why Valve is ok with partnering with a company that takes 3 months to respond to customer support tickets, particularly on an extremely complicated and expensive product that has their name on it
Include tripods so as to not burden your customers with manual labor.
This company has some of the worst customer service I have ever seen in my opinion based on my experience
Then the subtle soreness of your neck muscles from holding that extra weight on the front side of your head
Sometimes there was some de-sync issue even though the senors were very close and the weight of the headset did get cumbersome after a while
Some things aren't as good however, e.g. weight of headset (kills my old neck after a half an hour), ocular clarity and lack of focus adjustment, headset ventilation, and limited library of titles
