any differences between this and the original though?
You could say the difference in specs going from PSVR1 to PSVR2 is a bigger "generational" leap than PS4 to PS5.

Excited for this but they really need to ensure there is a stream of constant high quality games but I'm not holding my breath.

Will PSVR1 games be backwards compatible with it though? And can the headset be used outside of Playstation, like on PC with Steam VR games?

If your marriage needs saving, more gaming is likely going to end it. Not save it. Attachment or not. :P
Idk when my gf was preoccupied with animal crossing new horizons and BOTW we had a lot less time to fight

I've read there are rumors it will be backwards compatible. I'm super hyped for this headset, actually. I love my Quest, but I really enjoy the living room VR experience with friends, and the Quest streaming leaves a lot to be desired on my setup.

It's already announced to not be backwards compatible with PSVR1 software because the head tracking is so different. Devs need to make a PSVR2 (and therefore PS5) version of old games if they want them playable.

That's a bummer, planning to finally play skyrim vr on psvr2 because og psvr is a massive chore to play with

They really should push this as a multi platform headset. I'd love to be able purchase this for my PC.

    I went to auction at a mom/pops video game store few months ago that was closing, and bought 11 slims for $200, 1 was DOA but 10 work fine. so hella deal. Already rgh3'ed 8 of them. But most younger kids don't even want anymore, unless it plays stupid "fortnight", or newer shit.
