Meta Quest 2 - Advanced All-In-One VR Headset - 128 GB

I put together a list of demos and free games in this discussion:

And a discussion on the best VR games here:

Obsolete, non-sense. I have my Q2 alongside my Q3 and it still gets almost daily usage from my kids.
Currently they're playing the Assassin's Creed game when we're not playing together other games ( is the only ecosystem I'm aware of that allows you to buy one copy of a game and play online together ).
I'm actually tempted to get this deal for my parents in-law, who aren't local, so they can hang with the kids in something like Walkabout mini golf.

This is incredible value when you consider the controllers alone are worth in excess of £100.

Q2's are still the main customer base , so support is going to be around for years, but even in highly unlikely event that no new games came to Q2, the catalogue is so large it would still not be "obsolete". (edited)

And
£199 @ Game , and @ Currys as well.

Yep. Either purchase a compatible usb cable or if your pc is hard wired to your router and you have decent WiFi in the room you want to use it, you can stream wirelessly from pc to headset.

Recently got one of these second hand thinking it's a bit of a gimmick and it's not they're really fun.
The q3 has a lot of substantial upgrades to the quest 2 but as a trial I'd just get one off Facebook marketplace for £100 and try it out before making a decision to spend on the Q3.

What I will say is the battery life is terrible on the q2.
You do get motion sickness sometimes but with use that just disappeared.

It's a great bit of kit for a newbie though. (edited)

The Quest 2 comes with a little plastic insert for people that wear glasses. It effectively moves the screen a tiny bit (5 - 10mm?) further away from the eyes to accommodate for glasses. Whilst not the most hi-tech bit of kit its perfectly usable for anyone wearing glasses.

I can’t answer your question but if you tag people like @jg213 then the site will send them a message that they’ve been tagged hence drawing their attention to your post! Also when you click on reply to a post the person who is receiving the reply will also be alerted to the reply. HTH.

I sold my Q2 and bought the Q3. I absolutely hate the Q3. Biggest tech mistake of the year apart from buying some Edifier speakers. I just can't get on with the pancake lenses on the Q3. I should have sent it back but I didn't I need to use it more with some exercise apps but ugh I hate the thing.

I have mine plugged into a powerbank while i play, extends the battery life up to 6 hours.

Not sure what your point is? It's quite normal for products to be discontinued. It doesn't mean it's not going to be supported anymore or stop being functional. (edited)

Meta Quest owners have two options:

1) To buy and play games from the Quest storefront. You can do this without owning a PC.

2) To connect the device over wifi or cable with a gaming PC and play PCVR games through Steam or elsewhere.

For example, I might play graphically intense games on PCVR, but small rhythm games like Beatsaber on the device. The problem is once you buy a game on one platform you would have to pay again to have it on the other.

I'm thinking of grabbing this for the kiddie's birthday and finally having a blast of Alyx as that Index isn't getting any cheaper! (edited)

I keep hearing this story on lots of other devices. Still, I've not seen any freebies.

Still no date on when and rumours are very mixed about what spec it will have (sounds at best like a Q2 but with clearer graphics)

Not really , screen rez is higher , tracking is better and its a standalone system , it also works with PCVR , psvr1 was amazing when it was released but its fairly old tech now . I have Quest 2 For PCVR and Quest games but agree Quest 3 is worth paying the extra for

Come on. How can a steam deck power a vr headset

Ughhh Fresnel lenses. No thanks.

For this price, I'd recommend trying the Q2 first.
The Q3 is an upgrade in pretty much every way, but the Q2 is still decent, and a bargain at this price.

You using a Pico 4?

yeah walking dead did a bit of that. Most my motion sickness is from hangovers though haha

Q2 is all you need really. I made the mistake of selling my Q2 and getting a Q3 and I regret it due to the horrendous lens overlap effect.

Very mixed "leaked" info on the Quest Lite (new rumours are suggesting it might not even be called Quest 3 Lite), I have seen 3 different leaks of the headset this week alone and they all look different

Plus there is no reliable release date suggested yet, most Quest headsets are released in October, so could be then!?

It's really not. I've been playing VR for 7 years now and I'm super sensitive to motion sickness. Frame rate just isn't much of a contributing factor to motion sickness nowadays (as long as it's stable)

Yes, you need to sideload the apps, easy enough. You can play Switch and mobile games easily. Xbox has a cloud gaming app on the store anyway.

Easy to connect a bluetooth Xbox controller to the Quest too

yes. Mine came with a spacer for glasses, easy to clip on and you are good to go.
I'm also using the Kiwi design headset with built in battery to extend the gaming life.
Most used games so far are Beat saber, Death Unchained and Pistol whip. (edited)

if you can cast your phone to your tv, you can cast this, its the same process now

thats much better than this model

wheres these right places?

The Roblox app is available on Meta Quest, a virtual reality headset. Meta Quest headset owners can install the Roblox app and enjoy experiences together with Roblox users from Xbox, PlayStation, iOS, Android, and desktop devices. Note: Roblox supports Meta Quest 2, Meta Quest Pro, and Meta Quest 3 devices.
