Pre-ordered, will be in tomorrow. The straps are coming in a day later for whatever reason. Purchasing elite strap at store since BoboVR doesn't want my money. Invest in Big screen Beyond if oled is you determining factor. Hell the varjo aero just dropped to under 1k, you could get that too. Buh bye! 

Quest 3 will have WAY better lenses than PSVR2 and will be wireless. Mixed reality will also be used more with Q3 if you're into that. Apples VR headset will start as a glorified tablet with them confirming all first party apps working natively on the headset. And yes, it will be 3k. If you don't mind spending the cash and want a really good PCVR headset, look a big screen beyond headset. They just bumped the FOV to 110 degrees. 

And they also acquired a micro oled company too.

Release Deckard you cowards!

Fixed!

Population One is a great game that is now free to play, Ragnarock is also a great game, also blade and sorcery. Do you have a decent gaming PC? 

This is a great line up. 18$ gets you Zenith the last City (MMO), Wanderer (story based puzzler), Into the Radius (Survival FPS), Vertigo Remastered (Single Player FPS), Rumble (Earthbending Fighter), Battle Group VR (FPS/RTS), Superfly (Super Hero Sandbox)

IN YOUR FACE VR

I played the opening of Saints and Sinners Ch1 up to the base and it does look fantastic. I actually played up to this point in pc but I didn’t enjoy it there because I couldn’t get wireless streaming working right without a constant stutter every 10 seconds on Win11 which is a bug that to my knowledge Meta never fixed.
 

Actually thinking of that it kinda explains why I’ve been so taken by this more than I expected, I was pretty unhappy with my Quest 2. When wireless streaming broke and never got fixed it just really made me down on the whole thing, it felt like a big component missing.

 

Then I tried getting the cable for pc direct connection and it was so damn bulky of a cord and it felt like it was tugging it the way it connected. But the quality over it was somehow worse than streaming using virtual desktop and looked like a stream to me, not native.

 

So then finally I decided I’ll just play native games and got a couple new games to get back into it and that’s when it no longer would charge all the way and wouldn’t charge while in use so there was no way to play longer than like 90 minutes without charging it and at that point I just didn’t use it.

 

That is a very long way to say that this was so much more enjoyable than my experience on Quest 2 and I’m glad I’m giving it a second chance here because man even just in the tutorial stabbing enemies feels almost too good. The weight and how it gets stuck and you need to yank it out. Probably a great stress release game later on when you have a lot of weapons and can mess around.

 

But yeah I got really down on the Quest 2 and  forgot how much I enjoy VR for a bit so I’m really glad I got this thing. I’d still like a new pc headset too and to play Alyx but ideally it would just be on this one. I see you can use it as a monitor now, maybe it could happen!

Knocks on wood

JESUS, I've had my quest 2 running non stop, swapping batteries for over 2 years and never had a problem. People think im crazy never turning the thing off. Almost never had an issue. Im surprised when I hear issues like this. Also never had issues with VD, do you have a good router? Sometimes Oculus link works better for some. Might be determined on the brand of router. I must have gotten lucky with my headset, the thing is a beast. Super reliable.  

Might be why some are having VR sickness. Some helpful tips. 

Great review @legendand @BloodyHell. 

Leadership must be some really nice people, because they should have been fired after MCC. 

Why wouldn't you want a nice headset? VR isnt something you'll feel out getting the cheap version. It can have the opposite effect, like PSVR1!

My bad on calling you all haters, VR doesn't have any presence on this board at all so when it does, I can get triggered lol. 

Lol so many VR haters. No wonder I see ZERO VR news here. 

I'm in, Happy Thanksgiving all!

I was so excited to finally get a decent VR setup with the Quest 2, so ready to be immersed in all these unique experiences. But it’s basically just been my Beat Saber machine.

Give Ragnarock a shot!

for sure. but i doubt this sells well. the real question is Sony going to keep supporting this as time goes on to convince people to eventually get one? 

Exclusives, exclusives, exclusives.

I was actually kind of kidding, making a joke that nobody will buy this at the price. I’ll probably end up with it at some point but since I have a pc and Quest 2 it’s not super exciting for me at such a high price. 

 

Edit: Or if they allow you to use it on pc, then it would be worth it.

Quest 3 will probably be out by the time someone figures it out. 

VR isn't cheap folks, even Meta was losing too much money with the Quest 2 and raised the price. I agree more software is needed, but the headset itself is a good value. 

I haven't gotten home yet. Maybe a little review over the weekend. 

Out now, crossbuy with Quest 2/pc.

It's been beaten to death already, but 343 should just be dissolved. Loss after loss can't be good on the team moral. And hosnesty 343 was built around making halo special, when it already was. They took the focus of fun game play and put it towards "story telling" that just turned halo fans off. I'm pretty sure Bonnie Ross Green lit the Halo TV show AND the MC face reveal, which again slapped fans in the face. It's been bad buisness from day one. 

If you get a headset you can play PCVR games

Population one unfortunately
