        Ah no shrink wrap on box for me just tape closing each side

        I am going to inspect carefully, smell and lick every inch so I know it's fresh and clean.

        If I get sick I will know it is 2nd hand

        #thisistheway

    • iamtezr on 02/12/2021 - 11:53

      looks new to me.
      The thin plastic shrink wrap is on the outside that covers the box.

    • CyberMurning on 02/12/2021 - 12:11

      No the wrap is outside. The whole box wrapped in cling type just like when you buy iphone

      • AussieMark on 02/12/2021 - 15:08

        No shrink wrap on outside for me :(. Just box taped shut

        • CyberMurning on 02/12/2021 - 15:15

          do you have silicon cover inside? what is the manuf date

          • AussieMark on 02/12/2021 - 15:20

            @CyberMurning: Is the date on the box? There's an sku number outside but no manufacturing date

            Yes silicon inside

            • CyberMurning on 02/12/2021 - 15:21

              @AussieMark: manuf date is outside the box (side not front) rather small next to serial number. if you have silicon then it must be newly produced. dont worry but yeah wondering what is the deal with same wrapped some not

        • docmartin on 02/12/2021 - 15:29

          Same here. Mine just arrived today. Only security tabs which are not oculus specific so who knows

  • docmartin on 02/12/2021 - 15:44
    +2

    Asked oculus directly and they said they don't shrink wrap from oculus.

    Mine is brown with the oculus cover over it. Of note the branding says 'from facebook'

    Those whose units were shrink wrapped - did it have meta branding?

    According to oculus support the security tab is fine and expected. Sent them a photo.

    Who knows but may just use it.

    Altho I do note Amazon initially quoted a delivery date of 23rd December…

    Amazon person seems to suggest the shrink wrap is applied by the shipping team which would fit with oculus claim

    • TheSnyper on 02/12/2021 - 16:47

      Mine was shrink-wrapped, had a tab to pull which tore through the wrapping to make it easy to open. No seals or tape or anything else preventing the box from being opened. Manufacture date was Oct 2021, box says 'Facebook'.

      I don't know about a silicon cover but when I tried to get a free one using my serial number it said it was not required as it was already upgraded.

      • docmartin on 02/12/2021 - 16:56

        Put in a return order for what it's worth. Annoying since working this weekend and was going to try it Friday night.

        Ah well. Interestingly can't find a manufacture date on the box.

        Serial number on a big white sticker on the side tho.

        • TheSnyper on 02/12/2021 - 17:00

          The date is under the serial number.

          SN:1WMVRxxxxxxxxx
          MFG Date: 2021/10

          • AussieMark on 02/12/2021 - 17:46

            @TheSnyper: We have different boxes no manufacturing date on ours

              • Azro on 02/12/2021 - 22:58

                @TheSnyper: My box is different with no bar codes whatsoever. No wrapping, just two plastic tabs on each side. But I'm fine with this.

                • CyberMurning on 02/12/2021 - 23:07

                  @Azro: Well no barcode is weird, you want to know your unit serial number really, for warranty purpose

                • dins on 02/12/2021 - 23:08

    The ones without shrink wrap are most likely the latest manufactured stock I would reckon. Highly doubt that they are refurbished or anything like that. Not the way Amazon operates. I've bought thousands of stuff from Amazon over the years and never received any refurbished/used items instead.

    If everything inside looks brand new and untouched and the protective stickers are on the lenses and controllers, then shouldn't be any concerns really.

  • edfoo on 02/12/2021 - 18:26

    Mine only had tapes on the sides, no shrink wrap. Honestly I doubt Amazon Australia would sell refurbished Quest 2 to us without informing us, so I'm not worried about it. While you guys are here worrying about shrink wrap or not, whether to return your Quest 2 or not, I'm enjoying mine with new halo head strap, ventilated facial interface, and silicone grip + halo protectors. Just go enjoy your new Quest 2 people.

    I wouldn't think there would be so many "refurbished" units that just happen to land in the hands of so many OzB'ers.

  • TheSnyper on 02/12/2021 - 18:58

    For the people who said they had a countdown on their oculus app for their referrals, is this still the case? I never had any countdown and after referring someone I just get a [redeem] button. When I click that I can log into the oculus store and it tells me I have the credit already.

    I haven't "unfriended" anybody yet though in case the credit would disappear, or game purchase cancelled, if we're not friends for the (7 or) 30 days that was originally mentioned.

    • dins on 02/12/2021 - 19:08

      Mine is still counting down. Also states under How it works that the credit should be redeemable 7 days after headset is activated. So you should probably be fine to do whatever but just to be on the safe side might be best to wait out the 30 days as per T&Cs.

    • Draycen on 09/12/2021 - 07:13

      I actually contacted Oculus Support yesterday as was confused around this. I've recommended someone (another OZB) and they activated on Dec 1st and have received their credit. However, I've had no emails or notifications of this. I've got nothing in the Oculus app (Windows or mobile) and certainly have no countdown.

      Talking to Oculus was incredibly frustrating and really got me nowhere. They asked for all sorts of information regarding me and the person I referred. I only provided my own information naturally, mainly because I don't have someone else's personal info!

      So it's all been a bit of a shit experience and I'm still none the wiser.

      @dins where do you see the countdown?

      • TheSnyper on 09/12/2021 - 08:13
        +1

        if you go to oculus.com in a browser on your phone, you can click the menu in the top left, then click your account name (down the bottom), then click 'referrals'. This will take you to the referrals section in the app. I can't find any other way to access this info in the app. This will show you the status of all your referrals. I personally didn't have any countdowns but I'm waiting anyway just in case the credit gets revoked.

        If you log into the oculus store (doesn't have to be on the phone) and click on a game, it will show you how much credit you have below the price of the game. Again, I can't find any other way of finding this information out.

        • CyberMurning on 09/12/2021 - 08:18
          +1

          To find credit go to payment section (not the checkout but the payment menu under account) it will show there

        • Draycen on 09/12/2021 - 09:35

          Thanks for the reply, but in my Referrals section (website or Oculus app) it only lists my other FB friends who I've not yet referred. Nothing shows any status of referrals. Clearly something isn't right with mine, but Oculus Support have sadly proven to be useless so far.

  • Azro on 02/12/2021 - 23:08

    As I see we have two different boxes available. One with wrapping, bar codes and S/N and Mfg. date on the box:
    https://i.redd.it/rvevsyxdtpp51.jpg

    The other one is without wrapping, no info on the box, just two security pads on each side:

    • TheSnyper on 03/12/2021 - 10:01

      You can get the free silicon cover from oculus if you have an older model.

      • Joyoz on 03/12/2021 - 10:06

        I bought this deal recently so don't know if its the older model. My skin on my forehead appears to have a rash from the headset.

        • AussieMark on 03/12/2021 - 10:08

          Cannot vouch for them yet as first time buying but the reviews online were good

          kiwidesign.shop

          It is a Chinese company (not NZ as you would think - kiwi haha). So will be coming from China.

          Most reviews say the standard quest 2 is freakin uncomfortable and hurts their face

        • CyberMurning on 03/12/2021 - 10:13

          if you bought recently then you should have the silicon cover included . check the box

          • AussieMark on 03/12/2021 - 10:33

            @CyberMurning: I think he's saying that's no good.

            Silicon cover isn't the greatest. I got a fancy cushion one online

  • I Smell Pennies on 04/12/2021 - 17:57

    Update on the VR (based on purchases within my family):

    The first one I got arrived 21 Nov - fully shrink-wrapped around outside (manufacturing date Oct 2021)
    The second one arrived a week later - fully shrink-wrapped around outside (manufacturing date Oct 2021)
    The third one arrived around the same time but only had a square seal on each side of the box. Told Amazon, got a replacement and the replacement came fully sealed like first two (with manufacturing date in Sep 2021)

      I appreciated the detail you provided.

      I too received my replacement today. It was fully shrink wrapped this time, with different tag stickers to open (external to the outside of the shrink wrap to assist).

      The original (without shrink wrap) is missing the white manufacturing sticker.

      Same sticker is external to the shrink wrap on the new one with a mfg date of September 2021.

      All very odd and interesting. Interesting in if the shrink wrap were on the original the same white sticker would have been removed with the wrapping.

  • dancingbear on 05/12/2021 - 15:41

    I got my replacement model. It also wasn't full sealed and did mention the manufacturing date. I dont think i'll bother returning it based on previous comments. I'm curious though. Are SKU numbers going to be the same whether or not it's the shrink wrap model with the 2021/10 manufacture date? Those that received that wrapped model, is the SKU also 899-00186-02?

    • CyberMurning on 05/12/2021 - 16:12

          Same. Got a Cygnett 10,000mAH powerbank from Hardly Normal recently, sits in my pocket, connected with the Quest 2's 1m USB-C cable to the headset, it triples the battery run time.

            @CyberMurning: So far no. It's only 1m long and I can position it between my arms. I am waiting for a new 1m USB-C cable with magnetic tip from AliExpress (gonna takes up to 2 months for shipping, for god sake), that will further prevent the cable getting caught and damaging the USB-C port on the headset.

    Obviously late to the party but how can I register myself for the random referral program (in event of future deal)?

    • AussieMark on 10/12/2021 - 10:50

      I can never find the referral section manually so I just google ozbargain referrals then scroll down or up to find occulus and tick the box.

      You still have to manually invite someone once they msg.you I believe..

    Use promo code

    welcome25

    For 25% off in occulus store (new people only)

      This can only be used once you have used up any referral credit. You can't use both at once. And you only have 7 days to use it.

      • Azif on 12/12/2021 - 09:25

        Does everyone get this? I'd been saving credit to combine both

        • TheSnyper on 12/12/2021 - 10:13

          I forgot to add that you can't pay using any other method until your free credit is used up.

          • AussieMark on 12/12/2021 - 12:13

            @TheSnyper: Okay maybe it's changed but
            1) I can combine discount welcome25 with welcome credit but you have to stay in AUD and you cannot buy something already on sale eg beat Saber and the dragon music pack

            2) can use occulus credit with welcome25, at least I can so yaaah!

            But trying to run the numbers… If I go Canada vpn and discount beat Saber comes down to 25

            Hmmmm

              @AussieMark:

              #finished

              Okay so I used the referral credit to get the beat Saber and impossible dragon combo since it's 20-30% off (must be in AUD for referral credit).

              Then I swapped to cad to buy dance Central and applied 25% off to get it down from $46.99 AUD to 26.24 cad

              Very happy. # #maximised discount

              Only took an hour lol

              • Azif on 12/12/2021 - 12:57

                @AussieMark: Did you get an email about the welcome code, is it targeted? I've still got my original credit as id bought games through CAD store.

                • AussieMark on 12/12/2021 - 13:02

                  @Azif: I got the welcome25 about a week after I activated the occulus.

                  Okay just checked for you. I activated on Dec 3rd and got the welcome25 promo Dec 9.

                  So exactly 6 days . But it's annoying you cannot actually add ten games and get 25% off..only works on 1

                  #did have an interesting idea tho…

                  Wonder if you could refund and get the full referral credit back then use it for Canada vpn… Probably not worth the risk…not sure how they would handle referral credit If you do a refund for the game

                  I'm buying most games on steam and will attempt to do virtual desktop later but need to get a graphics card first for laptop or desktop

                  • Azif on 12/12/2021 - 13:53

                    @AussieMark: Thanks, guess will keep waiting. Maybe screwed it up by buyig cad games first

                    • AussieMark on 12/12/2021 - 16:28

                      @Azif: no i bought wander few days before occulus arrived so u should be ok in cad

              • Master Bates on 15/12/2021 - 17:27

                @AussieMark: So is the current price for the BS & ID combo the best price for the game? Not sure how much BS is normally without the combo.

                I have been trying to find a reliable price tracking website for Quest, but none have a chart for simple review of historic lows.

                I mean ultimately we are getting it free with the $47 credit, just looking to make the smartest purchase with it.

                  @Master Bates: Yes. BS by itself is like $2-3 less than the ID pack bundle, so getting the bundle is way worth it. For all other music packs, I buy using VPN to Canada
