Thanks. I'd prefer to use the poke in my PC - Is this an option with the Quest or is its power limited to the unit itself?

not sure what a poke is, but yeah the Quest uses all the power of the PC when connected via Link cable (or 3rd party cable)

If anyone is interested in escape room type games, there’s one out today called RoomVR. Just got it now and gonna play later this evening.

Is this the latest version of Quest? Anyone playing Alyx on Quest? Hows it running?

yeah that's the one

You'll also need a Link cable to get best performance to connect to your gaming PC. Make sure your PC is powerful enough for VR.

or one of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/JOTO-Charging-Braided-Nintendo-Devices-Black/dp/B017COHTJ6/

So conflicted now on Rift S vs Quest but ..suddenly leaning towards the Quest!

@mrcheez - would I have to rebuy the games for the quest or is that _only_ if playing in fully wireless mode?

ie, I own beat saber on steamvr - will that still play fine with oculus link?

Yes!

Plus you can play without wires (streaming from your PC to the Quest using the Virtual Desktop app)

thrill of the fight is on sale now for 8 quid. That’s a bargain if I ever saw one.

I'd wager the controller grips are most essential gamechanger for me. Essentially makes them Index controllers.

Yea, they restock at random points, I logged on at one sec and it was suddenly available so I just pounced on it. Rift S was there a day or two ago but only for an hour or so window! Invoice for the dublin facebook office! Not sure where it'll be shipped from

Is there a list of games compatible with the Quest without linking it to a PC?

All games on Quest? None of them require a PC.

Homelander

Yeah, the Quest is like the Oculus Go, designed as a self contained unit - there's a specific storefront just for it.

Linking only came later, and basically makes it similar quality to Rift S (better some ways, worse others).

What do ye use for headphones? Trying to see what bits and pieces to pickup while I wait for it to ship!

Does anyone know where Oculus ship from? The billing was for grand canal dock, but that's the FB offices as far as I know!

I just use a pair of Klipsch in-ear buds I've had for yonks... do the trick

Anker cable arrived today for Link...and just got shipping notification from Oculus..It's shipped a week early! woo!

Better order the accessories now pronto. I'm strangely excited despite having a CV1 for so long.

Feel like it'll be a new experience all over again

How much is the device when you buy it direct from Oculus? Has the price changed over time or why do they not show it when it is out of stock?

Think it was €449 direct, got it by pure luck.

Both quest and rift s seem to be out of stock 99% of the time, I just got lucky and caught it at the moment it was restocked! It was out of stock again 5 minutes later.

Quest is a gamechanger imo. VR without cables is an amazing experience, and being able to hook up to a PC is a very sweet bonus. Make sure to look into Sidequest too, some very fun and free games available!

"Lies Beneath" out now for Quest

This game looks amazing... perhaps next one after Alyx? It's Quest-only so no need for PC.
