        I should note you don't need a USB cable to use Oculus Link - you can use Air Link over your Wifi.

      • kasp on 22/11/2021 - 08:49

        You can do it wireless now.

        Airlink works really well providing you have decent WIFI at your house.

        • GunnerMcDagget on 22/11/2021 - 11:53

          Airlink is a good option. I haven't had any luck with it though and have good wifi (and fixed Ethernet from PC to router), but that could be the wife hogging the wifi.

        • htc on 21/11/2021 - 16:39

          Does the $100 credit needs to be spent in one transaction or can be over many transaction?

    Already got the PSVR which gives me a bit of motion sickness.
    Is this one better in terms of resolution and frequency?
    Less motion sickness?

    • Wheresmyspaceship on 21/11/2021 - 07:45

      Yes

    • bamzero on 21/11/2021 - 08:00
      +2

      I think the PSVR supports 120Hz though not sure if all the games run at that. The Quest now supports up to the same but still depends on the game. 72Hz is the standard, though many support 90Hz now and some support 120Hz.

      As for the resolution the Quest is much better and doesn't have any screen door effect which I've heard some say helps them avoid motion sickness.

      • congo on 21/11/2021 - 08:11
        +1

        Thanks, not sure what screen door effect is, but I will give it a go.

  • dan82 on 21/11/2021 - 07:45

    My 11 year old has asked for one of these for Christmas and I know nothing about them. Having a read the comments not sure that’s it’s a good idea. She wants to use it to play Roblox but she doesn’t have a Facebook account (and won’t be getting once anytime soon). Don’t want to waste the money if she won’t be able to use them.

    • bamzero on 21/11/2021 - 08:05

      There isn't a native Quest port of Roblox so you'd need to play via PCVR. I imagine Roblox isn't too demanding of hardware requirements but you'll still need a VR ready PC.

    • codhopper on 21/11/2021 - 08:35

      There has been a fairly high age recommendation for VR (I think due to potential unknown impact on eye development). Just googled and they say 13+. Might be worth holding out until they decouple from facebook/meta.

      • Gravy on 21/11/2021 - 15:05
        +2

        It's not just eye development, it's also brain development as VR does tend to mess with spacial awareness.

    • Kyx on 21/11/2021 - 09:00
      +1

      Device still currently needs Facebook account to activate (like yours for example) but anybody can use it for pcvr (like roblox) using their own accounts. Hopefully FB account requirements is removed sooner but my secondary account made just for this has been doing ok for 2 years now without issues.

    • Gravy on 21/11/2021 - 10:09

      I would be pretty hesitant about buying for an 11 year old. I've experienced some very odd after effects myself especially when I first started using it, some disassociation from my physical body even hours after use, a feeling like your limbs are not quite where you expect them to be, slightly offset etc. I think I'm becoming more used to it now though, a bit like getting your sea legs. It's not even just about the eyes, it's a whole brain thing and spacial awareness issue, especially for kids who haven't yet formed the full pathways in the brain for this.

      I'd also be careful with driving after using it at least for the first few weeks, it feels like I've had a couple of drinks. People report bumping in to things more in the real world as they had this feeling they could just walk straight through them even with the headset removed.

      It may also make you question the real world a little as well, a lingering feeling that it's all a simulation.

      In saying that I do allow my kids to use it for very short sessions. Usually around 10 minutes. It's also the best bit of tech I have bought in a very long time, similar to when you get your first PC or console as a kid, magical almost.

      • codhopper on 21/11/2021 - 10:30

        Didn't even think about VR sickness. I spent about 30 seconds on a VR rollercoaster and still feel sick thinking about rollercoasters in general. And that was 2 years ago.

        • Gravy on 21/11/2021 - 10:37
          +1

          The trick with rollcoaster VR games is to lean and move your body/head in the direction that the simulation is sending you.

        For those downvoting my comment above, keep in mind that this is just my personal experience although also backed up by others. Naturally not everyone experiences the same.

    • MoleManMike on 21/11/2021 - 13:55

      I think the general recommendation currently is 13+ due to possible disruptions to coordination and brain development.
      I only found out because of this video, and haven't looked into it myself much further, but I'd say definitely look into it yourself before you buy if you have concerns.

    • bamzero on 21/11/2021 - 08:18
      +2

      No but you will need to set up a developer account (not too much required) and PCVR can be done via built in Air Link for free or USB cable.

      I had already purchased Virtual Desktop before Air Link became available though and still use it as I find it easier and more reliable.

      • Gravy on 21/11/2021 - 10:38

        It's easy to set up a dev account but make sure you read the details about non disclosure agreement.

        • Gravy on 21/11/2021 - 13:46

          Someone downvoted this for whatever reason so perhaps I should clarify. The creation of a developer account means you are also bound to a non disclosure agreement about certain aspects of the program that may be made available to you. I'm simply warning people that there may be legal implications if you break this agreement.

    • Shitforbrains on 21/11/2021 - 08:19

  • FuzzyWolf on 21/11/2021 - 08:33

    Been looking at this for quite a while, thinking of pulling the trigger now. Do people find the 128gb sufficient or would it be better to get the 256gb?

    • Kyx on 21/11/2021 - 09:09
      +1

      128gb should be fine for most unless you download lots of media. Even if you have lots of games, installing them is easy/quick enough. I bought 256gb (mine) and 64gb (everyone else) and 64gb was fine. Of course 256gb is still good in case you want to futureproof. And for PCVR you don't even install games on the Quest itself.

    • Gravy on 21/11/2021 - 13:23
      +1

      128gb holds a lot of games as the majority are small. Obviously 256gb is better if you have a cash tree, but otherwise it is probably not worth the extra dollars.

      In saying that, there are some very big games coming out, Medal of honour is meant to be around 41gb.

    The biggest thing holding me back is that I wear glasses.

    I know there are some solutions. (Prescription oculus lenses, spacers for glasses).

    I’m wondering why can’t the oculus itself make the adjustment.

    • Kyx on 21/11/2021 - 09:23

      Are you near or far-sighted? If near then you might not need the glasses. I suggest you try without glasses if you have access to one, or can return it saying you can't see video properly/not comfortable with glasses. But I like your suggestion though not sure how that can be implemented in the device. Have vision issues myself but fine without glasses.

    • b-radicool on 21/11/2021 - 10:38

      "I’m wondering why can’t the oculus itself make the adjustment."

      They tried to cut the costs of this device as much as possible. Hence design decisions such as the cheap strap, and the 3 preset IPD positions.

      Not sure if 1650ti will play it well, maybe? But there's a native Quest 2 version though that doesn't need your pc. I tend to play native quest games due to convenience even if their visual quality might be diminished compared to pcvr.

      If you don't want to or can't use airlink which is free I'd recommend KIWI design, they do a bunch of quest accessories and their cable is good and long and has a signal amplifier built in. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08M65G48F/

  • edfoo on 21/11/2021 - 09:49

    What Quest 2 accessories can we use that $100 Amazon credit for?

    • Narull on 21/11/2021 - 12:17
      +2

      Checkout anything by AMVR or KIWI design, they make the best accessories imo, personally I love the hand grips, having the controllers strapped to your hand is so much better so you don't have to be holding them always.

      • edfoo on 21/11/2021 - 14:01

        I know about those brands, but their items are sold by their own resellers, not by Amazon AU, so not eligible to be claimed for that $100 credit.

        • Narull on 21/11/2021 - 14:16

          Ah my bad, I thought fulfilled by Amazon was okay, didn't read that bit sorry.

          Guess the only things could get accessory wise would be the elite strap or elite strap with battery (which are a lot more comfortable than the basic strap) and the official link cable (but I don't recommend that to anyone, massively over priced).

    • I Smell Pennies on 21/11/2021 - 14:29
      +1

      Also just note the $100 credit can be used for everything shipped and sold by Amazon, not just for Quest 2 accessories

        Correct, but I rather spend the credit on Quest 2 accessories because like Narull has mentioned above, those 3rd party accessories (controller straps, head straps, link cable etc.) are definitely worth buying

        Does it have to be spent in one transaction?

          No, it's just like normal Amazon promotional credit. As many txns as you want until it drains.

          Someone correct me if I'm wrong but it's always been like this for me

    My prediction is, come Black Friday it will be $50 cheaper, which will also include the $100 Amazon credit.

      I think it will just be $50 cheaper but no $100 Amazon credit.
