I was quite excited about the VR in the early days - got PSVR+PS4 Pro and Oculus Go on day one - however, I won't buy a tethered headset in 2022. It would be like going back from the automatic gearbox to a manual one.
They say it's only a single cable, but a single cable can as well get stuck in your office chair's wheels, or pull your console from the shelf... actually, what would matter the most for me is how elastic and lightweight it is; in the end, you could perceive PSVR's cable also as "single", but it was so heavy and rigid. I could perhaps accept a glass fiber cable, similar to the "One Invisible Connection" in Samsung TVs.
I understand the compromise they made: being tethered removes the need for an internal battery, you also don't need to put a general-purpose SoC in, nor any Wifi/BT modules, and you can spend all this saved money on a better screen, eye tracking and other hardware. Still, the cable...
