Oculus Quest is an all-in-one gaming system for virtual reality. No wires. No PC. Just set up with the Oculus mobile app, and you're free to explore VR from almost anywhere. Sensors inside the headset precisely track your movements and instantly translate them into VR, while helping you steer clear of nearby objects.

Remember cashback at 4.5% for an extra $25.77 bringing total cost to $604.23 which seems like a great price for this product considering it rarely goes on sale and has just received several new features including hand tracking and pc tethering.

      I fork out the extra $14 for same day delivery (since I had day off next day) - arrived just before 8pm was left outside even though I was home, lucky there was notification that say it had arrived.

        Mine arrived yesterday (3/10), eight days early. It's pretty amazing.

        The official Oculus content is so far better than the 3rd party apps. I already wish that I could overclock this thing or beef up the ram for when those 3rd party apps stutter when pushing the Quest's graphical limits.

          @yak: From what I hear (since it's a Snapdragon 835), it's apparently already overclocked.

            @AaronRain: I wasn't seriously suggesting overclocking it. I was trying to convey my feelings about the performance of the product with some games. Squeezing just a little more performance out of it would help a lot.

            On a more pedantic note, why do you believe that the Snapdragon 835 in the Quest is overclocked?

            This Oculus developer blog post says that the four main CPU cores run at 2.3GHz. Whereas Qualcomm's own specs says 2.45GHz.

            Wouldn't that suggest that the Oculus Quest is actually factory underclocked?

            This is probably to prevent thermal throttling from overheating with sustained use… so maybe a small overclock back to 2.45GHz with a water cooling block and a radiator/pump strapped to the back of your head is THE FUTUUUURE!

              @yak: Can't find anything official easily, but everything in the lead up was talking about the "overclocked Snapdragon 835". It already has active cooling, which phones don't. I think that's the reason they were able to get much better performance out of a 2+ year old mobile processor.

                @trankillity: This developer help article has good info: https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/mobilesdk/latest/…

                It sounds like extra cooling, if possible, would help to keep CPU and GPU clockspeeds high. Devs can apparently override the dynamic speed adjustments and set their CPU/GPU at several preselected performance levels… at least until they run into thermal throttling issues.

                The CPU/GPU performance levels that the device can sustain long term (ie. for more than 10 minute bursts of gameplay in their example) are quite low. I'm not certain if that was the Oculus Quest or Go in that example, but the whole page tends to be Quest focused.

                Apart from the CPU/GPU performance matrix, the sensor readings that can be output to logcat (when usb-connected to a developer's PC) seem pretty interesting. It'd be great to get those readings inserted live into the display, ala fps readouts on some gaming pc setups.

                tl;dr: an aftermarket cooler might not be as stupid as it first seems.

        WA remote is how my address is usually classed.

        I ordered on 26 Sep and it arrived 3 Oct. Exactly one week; Thursday to Thursday.

  For simracing + casual VR gameplay

  Rift S or Rift Quest with Link

  Terribly confused now which is best to go for

    +1

    Neither for sim. There are other options out there for sim which have wider FOV, higher resolution, higher refresh, and less screen door effect. Problem with those is that they're usually WMR, or Pimax, neither of which have good controllers.

  Should I buy the Oculus Quest travel case? Does the Quest come with any kind of case already?

  • 

    yak on 07/10/2019 - 01:22

    It does not come with a case. There are plenty of case options out there though. Check YouTube for Oculus Quest cases.

    The two main case design themes are: compact and light for mobility and easy carrying; and, extremely protective, with Pelican-style cases with foam (either pre-cut or pick-and-pluck), where they'll survive the apocalypse.

    If you mod your Quest into a Frankenquest (with the Vive DAS), then there are case reviews for that too.

  Can you claim GST if you take this overseas?

  • 

    trankillity on 11/10/2019 - 09:50

    Don't see why not, but the box is big enough that you wouldn't really be able to take anything else on in carry-on at all really.
