Meta Quest

Had a quick look at the facebook page.

The reviews of Quest 2 build quality and customer service are quite shocking.

To be honest after reading that I'm considering just returning the whole thing. I picked up a PSVR a few weeks ago with ps4 controller, move controllers and aim controller (Ive heard this is great on Doom).

Thinking I might get a load of games for the PSVR instead until a better Oculus/Meta headset comes out.

The 'Elite Strap' is a waste of money because of its durability issues and the ridiculous price, but the headset itself is grand. A lot of the feedback on those pages is going to be from people who've been unlucky with bad stock, same with any piece of tech. I bought a 3rd-party headstrap that has the PSVR-style halo design. Far comfier and more durable than the 'Elite', and far cheaper too.

The PSVR is good too, but it's seriously limited by the tracking, the resolution, the PS4 and the outdated Move controllers. It's showing its age at this stage. Doom VFR etc. are great with the Aim controller though. Of of the system's strong points.

I'd still recommend the Q2, especially if you have a VR-capable PC (you can stream games wirelessly to the headset). The PSVR2 is due out next year which will hopefully result in more premium VR games.

Ok I will keep the quest 2 and see. Its what junior wants. He might not be happy with the psvr.

I only picked up the psvr as a friend wanted rid of it for 100 euro. I never had a ps4 so it seemed a shame to miss out on all the ps4 vr games that are still playable on ps5 even if it's just until the psvr2 comes out. Plus i already have 10 psvr games in my library gathered up throughout the year for free including astrobot rescue mission.

Wow that's a bargain for 100! Astro Bot is perfect for kids, I bet he'll love it :).

Regarding build quality it's just the stock headstrap for most people is a bit crappy. It all depends on the shape of your head though. Definitely worth getting the BoboVR M2 if your son or you prefer the halo strap on the psvr for comfort.

And although pricey the pro version of the BoboVR M2 has a battery pack to extend gameplay by 3 or 4 hours, and it's quite cheap compared to the elite battery strap.

Thanks for all the replies lads. Really helpful. I have the elite strap ordered from Amazon but Im going to return it. There looks to be no comparison to the BoboVR straps. If theres no problems with the headset I'll get the BoboVR M2 Pro at the end of January as its my sons birthday in February. That strap and some game credit should do it.

Only thing I notice is Amazon dont like shipping batteries outside the uk mainland. Ive noticed this with powerbanks also so not sure how I would get the pro version. Cant find it anywhere else.

I contacted Bobovr - they say the BoboVR M2 Pro will be available to ship from Amazon EU websites in a few weeks.

I bought a quest 2 less than 2 weeks ago. It's still in the box. I might send it back and order it again to get the €50 game credit.

What's this about referrals? How does it work?

Lads this is just too much money to pass up. I'm taking my oculus back to Argos and re-ordering direct from Oculus to get the 50 euro credit.

I cant refer anyone myself as I dont have the headset activated in my online account.

Can someone on here who has a quest 2 activated go to the screenshot attached in their oculus account?

If it generates a referral link send it to me and we can both then get 30 euro each when I reorder?

Has to be done! 😆😆😆

Anyone got a referral code before I hit buy

As above, I could send you a referral link.

Copperspock sent me a friend request on facebook. Then he sent me a referral link to open. I opened it and accepted the referral. Now the referral is linked to my facebook account and i can order whenever to get the 30 euro. Im actually getting bombed with Facebook ads reminding me to buy and get the 30 euro but i dont mind as it means the referral worked. Hopefully when i order i also get the 50 euro (this offer ends 11/30). I'll be ordering before the end of the week.

This is great information. So in my case (in theory) I could go ahead and activate the headset once it arrives direct from Oculus (collecting Copperspocks 30 euro referral, collecting the 50 euro offer and enabling me to send referrals) and put it back in the box. Then I could send my sister in law a referral link so that when she activates her Quest 2 on Christmas day I get yet another 30 euro for a total of 110 euro. If I was not in this thread id be getting exactly zero free credit and be none the wiser! God bless you all!
