Nothing yet anyway, PC World/Currys have them on their site with a launch date for tomorrow. Might be able to get a click & collect then. Argos might be worth a shout too as they stocked the Quest 1.

Anyone that ordered from Oculus direct seen any movement yet? Mine was charged early last week and stuck at processing for shipping since then.

Saw that alright, €45 more expensive than Amazon for the larger memory but I could get rid of all my One4All vouchers that I got for work in one swoop, worried that company could be a victim o Covid any day now, I think Ill go for it.

Shiver went up my spine for a moment when I thought they were going to request my passport ID, but it went through OK

So Real VR Fishing is on sale for Quest at 16 euro instead of 20.

The latest update features online multiplayer and it looks great.

We should try and get some multiplayer going on here for various games when we receive our Quest 2's!

Real VR Fishing seems to be cross buy also so don't forget to search in the rift store and add it for free.

I remember when Oculus used to have amazing daily deals... 80% off etc.
Used to be very rare for a week to go by when I didn't buy a new game.

Anyone remember Edge of Nowhere for €3.99 with 87% off ? Those were the days...

Nope.. Rift ... I have lots of games on my Quest that I got when I purchased cheap Rift bargains.

Like The Climb... I bought that for €9.99 in 2017.. got it free for my Quest.

Same with Fruit Ninja, Dreadhalls, Wander, Ultrawings, Drop Dead, Drunk n Bar Fight ... got em all for around €5-€10


Wander I actually got for €3.99 ... that app has given so much!

Its listed on Argos.co.uk and available to pre order but not on the Irish site which is a bit worrying.

What time do they update the website usually does anyone know?

64GB Quest 1 listed for the exact same price as the 256GB Quest 2 on Argos.co.uk, £100 more than the 64GB 2 :pac:

I ordered directly from Oculus, they've sent out the strap but no headset hehe!

Same, shipped by Yodel, who deliver via Fastway in Ireland. Argos seem to have healthy stock for pick up too, should have just stuck with that.

mrcheez

Amazon dispatched... probably Thursday!

Argos have stock 360 Euro, i have one reserved in Waterford.

Indeed... 256GB in Argos Blanch for example... some lucky bastid's gonna pick them up today! :eek:

druss

John Lewis have dispatched my order, but it's not showing up with DHL yet and then I have the AddressPal hurdle to cross.

I am jealous of you Amazon people, but Argos price is €50 more than JL, so I'm ok with a bit of a wait.

On the other hand, the Argos price for accessories isn't too far off the Oculus store price, so that might be worth a drop in for the strap and battery.

Mine is out for delivery from the oculus store. Original delivery date was the 22nd so I'm happy with that

I don't have much experience with fastway. Are they bad? I know last time I ordered from Oculus, everything was delivered just fine. Anyway, I will be at home tomorrow, as I am working from home these, so hopefully no issues.

I do have to say, I am surprised I am getting the headset so soon. The website said November 6th, and I ordered a couple of week after pre-orders went live.

Not sure If I will getting the elite strap same time, as they didn't charge me for it yet, but the dispatch email does mention it. So a little confused on that.

Next thing to get is the vr cover, whenever they become available.

Did yours show as out for delivery on the Yodel site or did you have to track it on Fastway?

Do you not open it to charge it up for your kid so it's ready to use straight out the box?
