I used to have a PSVR which has a great library of games, but I ended up selling it because the hassle to set everything up when I wanted to use it just wasn't worth it. Being tethered ruined the immersion for me and it made a mess of my living room. If you had a designated game room it might be a better option.
I bought an Oculus Quest at launch which is a completely wireless and self contained unit which I have used way more than the PSVR. It really is as simple as strapping it on and hitting a button. Being wireless really helps with the immersion and even though it's not as powerful as a PC connected VR unit it's plenty powerful to run basic VR games that really make you say "wow" the first time you try it.
Beat Saber
Superhot
Job Simulator
Tilt Brush
Virtual Virtual Reality
Moss
All of the above games run great on the Quest- there are a few other big ones as well, but I haven't tried them. In addition it as Virtual Desktop, Netflix, Bigscreen, and other multimedia apps. It's really cool technology, but it's definitely still niche- the sky is the limit though, it's exciting to see where it goes from here.
