    Any offers for this anywhere? I saw on reddit there was a good one for very.co.uk that lets you buy now, pay later. Unfortunately only for UK. :(

    Not sure there will be offers just yet as it's still on pre-order... maybe later on though once the dust has settled

    If I had the spare funds I'd order one now. That Star Wars thing has me sold on it.

    Quest games are now showing in the Oculus app.

    I've got loads marked as Free as I own them on my Rift and get a free copy for Quest.

    Glad now I opted to buy most games via Oculus Home instead of Steam. Well played Facebook, well played.

    :pac::pac:

    Very curious to see how these shape up though. Didn't really consider looking at one until a few days back, and almost flipped a coin in the end.
    Granted there's some limitations but that ease of use and freedom could be sweet.
    Haven't touched my Vive in the last 6 months if I'm brutally honest, and even then the gap between using it had only been lengthening. Just too much hassle in my setup at home, and while I doubt the Quest will deliver a comparable experience, it might just be the more frequent companion that's needed between the big sessions.
    More comfortable to work with, quicker to setup, 20min sessions etc.........let's just see if the experience can replicated to a decent level.

    Yeah I mean I use my Go more than my Rift and PSVR combined purely because of the ease of use and the fact I don't need to wait for anything to boot up.

    Want a quick game of table tennis..I'm instantly playing 5 seconds later

    Currently €489 on Argos.ie

    Might wait 'till it drops a little as eager as I am to give it a go.

    Can see it being around £350 on Amazon for the 64Gb version in three or four weeks time as the Oculus Go dropped £50 after around month of it's launch.

    Unfortunately hearing a fair amount of audio crackling going on from the right integrated speaker.
    Was thinking it could be some interference going on in the room I was in, but it looks to be widespread enough for Oculus Support to say they're aware of it on Reddit, but don't have an ETA on a fix.
    Apparently using external headphones will help, but its strange that it hasn't been picked up before in any of the pre release reviews. Comes and goes, but noticeable within 5 mins of putting it on......not app or game specific, but will wait and see what comes out.

    Apart from that, not a bad little device. Screendoor effect isn't great this far down the line of consumer devices, but we are talking about an all in one here. Only spent a limited amount of time with Vader, Beat Saber, Robo etc but looks to be handling things well enough.
    Very nice little setup program, which should be an entertaining enough experience for anyone new to VR.
    Will have to spend more time with the games and demos, but looking good (better as soon as they sort the audio out).

    I'm thinking Mr Cheez silence is due to him trying out CzechVR on his new headset and he's after having a fap nap! :p
