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

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.

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.

weird...

it's €449 on Oculus.com

Bought myself a Quest on Monday, should be here on Friday. Can't wait to try out Vader Immortal. It'll be my first foray into VR.

Yeah I reckon it'll be my first "purchase" ...price is right!

Well I'm bolloxed. Just been playing for 3 hours straight and I've got 30% battery left.

In short, it's amazing.

They've thought of everything, from the way you can view the real world when walking outside your boundary, to being able to set up a "local boundary" when you just want to sit and watch Oculus TV.

The screen resolution on Oculus TV is best I've seen in VR yet. So I reckon the Quest will be THE way to watch movies in VR. In general everything looks a lot clearer although you can tell a lot of textures are lower than what you would see on Rift.

I didn't have any audio problems that McDermot had...yet...so fingers crossed ..maybe they sent out a fix for it today?

As for games I tried, Beat Saber is perfect as expected, Robo Recall is decent though atmos would prob be improved with headphones, the little dancing game that's in the setup is amazing and a sign of what can be done when you are wireless (spinning around etc).

Stand outs were Space Pirate Trainer which really works so well when you've no wires stopping you from rolling around, and Journey of the Gods...this feels exactly like being in Zelda. It's prob gonna be an instant buy even though it's pricey enough.

Haven't tried Vader yet, that's tomorrow.

So yeah..overall very impressed, and what impressed me the most was taking off the headset and realizing everything I had experienced for the past 3 hours was powered soley by the tiny thing between my hands.

Oh and the build quality is as expected: sharp and sturdy. Even the box it comes in is quality

Well Vader Immortal is a fine piece of kick-ass-ness. Vader is fricking huge! Feels like you're on a Star Wars experience at Disneyland.

Even after the main campaign is over, there is a light saber dojo which fully involves you flipping around 360, flailing your saber at attacking droids, either clashing sabers or reflecting laser bolts.

Superb value for €10


... Oh...and our Czech friends do look great too :P

Aw, Quest exclusive is it ? Hope it comes to Rift..

it is coming to Rift eventually.

Good ol' Marcus. He's very clear and concise and (rarely for UK YouTubers) he doesn't roll his r's and replace th with f.

It's a weally stwong pet hate of mine.

So finally got around to playing this outdoors. Had to wait till sun set as the tracking just noped while there was any sunlight or bright surfaces.

So while waiting for that I played my Go instead which has no problems in any light. Man playing Racket Fury on the Go with the sun beating down on you feels so great. Great workout too.

After sunset it was Quests turn and I set up my playspace in the garden (neighbours must think I'm mad). Had a blast playing Robo Recall with the wind blowing around me. Total immersion. And even when the rain started to fall I swear I initially thought I was imagining it from the game.

So anyway I'll be doing this all summer and will end up with an interesting facial tan

Just remember make sure not to expose the Go’s lenses to direct sunlight when the headset is off, as it can damage them.

this is a meme now on reddit

Apparently there's an issue with the Oculus InEar headphones.......an issue that causes mono sound in place of stereo.
Oculus will be shipping out new versions in July free of charge, but are offering buyers the option of a refund if they wish or a replacement, as well as 30 dollars credit on the Oculus Store.
In either case, they can keep the original set.

Excellent response to be fair.

ha! Damn I was just about to buy a set last week, d'oh

I decided to stick with a standard pair, though the long wire is a bit of a nuisance alright.
