Oculus Quest All-in-one VR Gaming Headset – 64GB (UK Import)

This thing is surreal. Once i got it and had it ready to go I was blown away and amazed at what I have been missing. I was thrown into a tutorial to get yourself acclimated with VR and the Quest which that in itself was mind blowing. It feels weird at first when you are interacting with things because you loose your sense of touch. So it felt funny picking things up yet still very cool. I couldn't stop laughing and smiling because it literally like leaving your reality and being placed in another. It was beautiful. You felt there. So after the tutorial I immediately downloaded and jumped on Star Wars Immortal. Graphics were stunning and out of this world. I remember the first time I had Darth Vader walk up to me. I was terrified, excited, and almost cried. (But I didn't) He felt like he was right there in front of me. VR really changes the game. After getting my Star Wars rocks off I decided to go exploring and see what other secrets this guy held.Hand Tracking- I found out that this thing has hand tracking. Its in development but they have a working beta build. And yes hand tracking without a PC or light boxes. It calibrates your hands then once down put the controllers down and use your hands. Now of course you would guess the first gesture any guy would do in this situation. Haha Anyways, it needs more work but it works almost flawlessly.Visuals-For a stand alone Headset this thing packs a punch on visuals. Everything looks great. I mean I have yet to try out some of the wired VR headsets and what not but from what I have experience there is no lack luster in graphics with the Quest.Games- Now this is were I believe the quest lacks. There really isn't that many games that I would want to play. I am all about the VR FPS games like Onward, High Caliber, Pavlow, etc. None of these games are on Quest YET but from what I have read they are on there way but slowly. But then again this downside can be countered in the next topic below.Doubles as a Rift headset- Holy smokes, you can literally turn this VR headset into a Rift if you want to. All you have to do is have a compatible cord and you probably want to get a LONG one, plug it into your PC or Laptop, and you are in business. I just happen to stumble across this one day and it makes it even better. One of the cool things is being able to sit in my lazy boy, headset on, and control my computer via VR. This means no keyboard no moue nadda just have dual screens up in one of many nice cozy settings and just be on my PC without the constraints of keyboard and mouse. This also means all the games that are available on Rift you can play via the wired Quest/Rift setup. And they run great!Game Pricing- One of things I thought would be a bit harsh are the game prices. Knowing all the big pricey games that are not VR I thought these games would fall into that same category. To my amazement however they don't! I was able to get 4 games and only spent maybe 80 bucks. The most priciest games go for that I have seen is 40 bucks. They are cheap.Exercise- This thing will kick your butt if you not in shape like me. But at the same time you're having so much fun you'll barely notice. I played the boxing game Creed demo and almost passed out because it really makes you work. You have to swing, block, dodge, move around, etc. Me being me I've never boxed a day in my life so I got winded halfway into the second round. And if you get knocked down you have to move your arms in a running motion to move back towards the light or consciousness. The more you get knocked down the more you have to run back and harder. Eventually I was able to knock my opponent completely out in the 5th round. I was sweating, sore, winded, tired, etc. But I put my arms up in the air like how boxers do after they win and felt like a champ when the crowd was cheering for my victory. Next day I felt like I went to the gym and hit it kinda hard. Mind you I am completely out of shape. There are loads of other games available that can be meant for exercise. Perfect while we are quarantined.Side Effects- Now this kinda can be different for each user. For me I experience what they called if I can remember something like VR disconnect. Basically you VR for long hours then you take a break but what happens is your brain is all screwy where you pick things up or touch things. It doesn't register right away that you are touching or holding something. So you pick something up and for a small second you can't feel it or you feel like your brain is lagging. To me I was far from freaked out but actually found it interesting and cool. But the more you VR the less this will happen. Though there are some other serious mental side effects that can happen but for me I experience none of them except my brain being slow. I would Google them before hand so you know what you could expect.All in all there is so much going for this thing and Oculus has done right by VR. If you are not strapped for cash and can definitely afford this? Do it. Do it. Do it!

I adore everything about this system. As soon as it arrived, I unboxed it and was so excited to play with it that I didn't even wait for it to charge -- I just played with it plugged in. Worked amazingly, but obviously it was even better the next time I played without the cord in the way! It's really immersive and freeing to be able to walk around while you're in the games and not have to worry about getting tangled or tripped up. I went to space and I did magic in my first couple days of owning this, and it was a BLAST! The home environment alone is gorgeous and I'm genuinely in awe every time I load in and look up at the aurora above me. I could be happy just lying on the floor and staring up at that for hours!Everything was really intuitive as far as getting it adjusted to fit my head and eye-width. I didn't even need to consult instructions. It was also really easy to set up with the phone app, and was as simple as entering in a number on the screen inside the headset after it was turned on. I've never used any Oculus products before, so I'm super impressed with the headset and controllers and how well everything worked. I had no issues with everything recognizing each other or working in the games. The games don't seem to take up much space at all, so I'm glad I went ahead with just the 64gb version. The library itself isn't yet massive, but there's a good variety of different genres and things to check out as well has new things being added! Plus, if you get the link cable, you can also play Rift games and that opens up a whoooole new world of games.I 100% recommend this to anyone wanting to get into VR or anyone who's already into VR and just wants that wireless experience.

Buying this only for the mobility? Probably a mistake. However, with link- which is fully functional now- and a few accessories this quickly turns into a slightly less gouged rift S, with perhaps slightly poorer image quality due to lower refresh rate and lowered resolution in link because of the requirement to push through USB-3(A->C). Unsure of how the quality would be with the more expensive link cable from oculus since they don't exist.Note: rather front heavy so be prepared to make a makeshift counterweight with zip ties if neededGreat for playing PC vr w/ link and a nice PC, with the option to play wirelessly even over 5ghz wifi connected to said PC through virtual desktop fiddling, plus being able to go wirelessly for simple video viewing or less demanding games- which are sadly often gated behind the quest-only store (with some great cross exceptions such as gun club!)essentially: as a vr set by itself, kinda useless after the novelty. With a PC to emulate it as a rift, well worth being price gouged, especially in these trying times. H3VR is absolutely nuts.Do your research on what you want before you buy, though, unlike me. I lucked into being satisfied after enough fiddling but if you can wait two months, probably best to bite the bullet and get the Valve Index, since by the time you get done with price gouging + accessories you're nearing $800 anyway sometimesfinal note: oculus link DOES WORK and 8/10 well, it works over virtual desktop wirelessly or through usb 3 cables -> usb c, kinda heavy, might be uncomfortable to some, if prices lower and aren't gougy may want to consider other headsets if you intend on playing on PC mostly. But in place of a rift S, this is a fine buy with the right technical knowledge.
