Best VR experience I’ve had so far
 
Idk how many of you already got it, but there's a really good promotion on the quest2 ATM. I've attached a screenshot of the promo, you can see it in the oculus app under "30$ for you and a friend".

Use a referral link before activating your quest and you get 60$ in the app store. The thing is, you can factory reset your quest and STILL get to use the referral!

It takes less than a min and you get 60$, it's an insane promo!

If you haven't activated your quest, just click the link below.

If you HAVE activated your quest, you go to the oculus app > Menu > Devices > Factory Reset > click the link below.

Totally understandable, especially if you have already put a bunch of stuff on it.
This is more for people who only have 2 games or so and could get back to where they were before factory reset in like 3 mins.
Surprisingly though it's been really hard to get referrals despite the free 60$
 
anyone play thrill of the fight? its probably my favorite vr game other than simracing. i still have to grab HLA.

 
So my quest 2 finally got the 120Hz update recently. Last night I turned it onto 120Hz and Ultra quality in VirtualDesktop. Then I heard "Holy shit" from Virtual Desktop. I laughed so hard. VirtualDesktop dev teams have some good humor going.

Check out this thread.

Also, download SteamVR and Oculus software for PC here. Get the Rift S download. Get the "Download Quest 2 pc app". Check this page out to setup Link or Air-Link. I would suggest Air-Link. Make sure you go into the oculus software and turn on unknown sources to use Steam VR from your Oculus desktop app. Also, the setup for Quest 2 is fairly simple just have a FB account ready to sign in. I would use your regular FB account if you have one because you will link paid apps to it.

Ok, we need to hear it! lol What do you think?

@Everyone
I just ordered the HTC Vive replacement pad from AMVR and I ordered the new wide facial cover from VR Cover. I have the replacement pad for the Vive and it's really good. I just ordered the facial interface yesterday from VR Cover's website. I can't say I'm happy about their shipping. I had to pay $8.50 USD for 2 week shipping which made my 29 dollar purchase 37.50... :banghead: I already own the AMVR Facial interface and it's good but it has little holes in the gasket. I only paid 26 bucks for it about a year ago. It has jump up in price. I have noticed after this holiday everything for the Quest 2 has gone up in price. I'm guessing due to high demand. Strike while the iron is hot I guess.

VR Cover has an Amazon store I don't know why they don't have all of their product on that store as well. They seem to be out of everything. I'll let everyone know what I think about it. On a side not the AMVR one isn't bad and reminds me of my old vive thin padding I bought. It had holes in it as well. It's not bad if you're the only one using it, but if someone else uses it and sweats then it goes into the holes and it's just as bad as the regular sponge one.
 
Apparently there is a price hike a coming,….

Quest 2 is about to cost more and the accessories too,….

Edit:

They also seem to think a freebie Beat Saber app will smooth things over,….

Bugger that!!!

I have a question for anyone who has the Quest 2 Elite Strap With Battery.

I just got the quest 2 and the Elite Strap With Battery, and i just wanted to know if it's normal for the charger and back of the elite strap to get really warm when charging?
Everything works fine and it charges fine but i hate things getting warm/hot lol
 
charging makes heat in the process i would'nt worry unless it starts to melt bits

Yeah this is crazy and with Pico 4 just around the corner I think Meta will change it back to the old price by Christmas. The Pico 4 controllers have leaked and they look really good.

I think you are fine as long as it hasn't started swelling. The heat should be just that it's a quick charger and just generates more heat than it can dissipate which is fine as long as you can touch it without burning yourself. lol I believe the headstrap and battery would start to change color and swell. So not just swelling but also color change due to it being off white.
 
i think meta has shot them selfs in the foot with the upped price on the Q2, yes i agree they will soon drop it' its madness in a world thats going into a recession.
 
I have to agree with that and me and the fam and friends have been talking about it to, I bet many people have been saving up to maybe get the kids one for xmas but with all the other electric and gas bills and other things going up times are hard for many, so meta/facebook have messed up big time with the price hikes as it now puts the quest 2 out of the price range for many people.

And giving beat saber away for free for a limited time ain't going to make the higher price seem any better as you can get that game for £23 or less if you know where to look.
 
beat saber whats that :) if i carnt have a coffie in one hand and a rolly in other the games not worth playing.
 
A bit of News,….

Apparently the upcoming Quest Pro controllers will be compatible with the Quest 2. The Quest Pro controllers are more advanced in a number of ways, most notably (IMO) is that they are self tracking. Therefore there should be no tracking dead spots. Meta is claiming approximately 8 hours of use for the controllers per charge. There are other advancements as well including a pressure sensor.

The bad news is that the controllers will cost about as much as a Quest 2 HMD itself at around ~$350 USD IIRC. Also they are from Meta so,,….

Edit:

BTW, the Quest Pro controller compatibility suggests that the upcoming Quest 3 will also support the same Pro controllers. This also suggests that the Quest 3 should also support the original Quest 2 controllers. This would be a bit of a first since the Oculus Rift Controllers weren’t compatible with the Oculus Quest or Rift S. IIRC the original Quest controllers didn’t work with the Quest 2 either.

Either way, that means in theory, the Quest 3 could be sold in various configuration bundles. One option could be the Quest 3 HMD alone (no controllers) for existing Quest 2 users, which, would be the cheapest option. Quest 3 could also be sold bundled with the same existing Quest 2 controllers for those with no preexisting Quest hardware. Finally Quest 3 could be bundled with Quest Pro controllers which would be the more expensive option.
