Hyped for my first ever VR experience!

Congrats.
Also I apologize in advance here, I'm sure you know already. I've probably even said it before.
VR has come a long way with regards to motion sickness, and PSVR2 might even be especially good in that regard. But I would give a little caution to be aware of that. Make sure to take a break if you don't feel as great. One thing that really helped me was having a fan running.
But still things have gotten a lot better. Between way better hardware and a lot of game design tricks that are being used today.
PSVR1 is fun, but it's very rough.
But PSVR2 should be genuinely a great experience.

Not at all, I appreciate the warning/advice and am coming prepared, Vornado and everything :P
I always believed that VR is the future of at least 1st person content. PSVR1 was out of the question to me for a long list of reasons and concerns led by the breakout box/cables hell. I was going to wait for the 3rd generation of true VR headsets (PSVR3 and similar) before jumping in. But apart from being tethered, PSVR2 is promising to almost be a couple generations ahead in a sense, so I think it's time I take a bite even if the technology wouldn't necessarily be utilized by many top developers until the 2030's. Hopefully Sony partly support it with a decent number of hybrid-games, published, developed, and funded, in a similar fashion to GT Sport and RE7/8. I'd be okay with not getting many great games that are designed from the ground up for VR (Astro Bot, Half Life Alyx etc), but the growth of standalone VR's like Quest, Pico, and whatever Apple is working on may accelerate that too.
I'm somewhat concerned about nausea and motion sickness, but even if I can't handle it well, it'll probably depend on the game and I'd like to think I'll manage to adapt.
Fun little fact: It's the first piece of technology (hardware) I will have bought at launch, and I've been gaming since the MSX and Mattel Aquarius home computers. Quite a feat for an expensive accessory lol.
