PSVR might be desirable for the ease of use, but if you're wanting to play ED, a HOTAS is mandatory in VR. The PS4 is not going to support an X55...
Also - Room scale is really really fun, and I'm not entirely sure the PS is going to support that. Also every time I've owned a Sony device, which have been too many to mention, they've gone out of their way to make it a closed, value added, platform.
There's some decent demos and Unity based stuff out there which is worth experiencing in VR - and the best way to do that is on a PC rather than a closed console platform imho.
@OP - if you want to save some cash, you don't need anything more than a 4Gb 970 - I'm running that and both the Rift and Vive are flawless for VR apps - the one exception is the Vive for ED, but if you want it mainly for ED - I'd recommend the Rift. If you want room scale, get the Vive, but note that in ED it's currently miles behind the Rift quality wise.
