Meta Quest 2 (Oculus) - Advanced All-In-One Virtual Reality Headset - 128GB

For context, I never had a game system until college and I haven't bothered to get an Xbox live gold subscription in I think 3 years now because I don't have time to make it worth the cost. So having that kind of mentality, I personally wouldn't find the Oculus Quest 2 worth the money. That said, this thing is pretty awesome. The tech is awesome and I can't wait to see where it goes over the next few years. I haven't tried many games because I'm cheap and there aren't many good options that are free, but I have been playing beat saber which is a lot of fun (and exercise). It's basically DDR but you slash the blocks with light sabers. The con is that I think this tech is still pretty new, so there isn't a lot out there in the way of games (even the ones you buy), especially those that are good. Hopefully we see more good games come out. Also, basically all videos you can find on the internet that are VR do not have good quality, so while they are "immersive" it feels less so since the quality is nowhere near realistic. This isn't the fault of the Oculus, but just the nature of content that is available to interact with. All in all, it's lots of fun. If you have money to burn, then it may be worth your while. If not, I'd say hold off until it starts to take off, otherwise it may be like buying a 3D TV (sounded like a good idea but went nowhere).

Like the title says, this is the future of gaming. With virtual reality gaming you can fully immerse yourself into the game. The quest 2 makes it possible for almost anyone to be able to play in VR. It's a standalone unit that doesn't need to be tethered to a computer. But if you so choose, it can be linked to a capable PC using the oculus link cable essentially turning it into an oculus rift. My wife and I love the quest 2. Such a versatile vr setup at an amazing price. You get 2 hours or so of game play per charge. Which can be extended with a battery pack. The head strap is pretty basic but I have zero complaints about it. It does come with a small spacer if you were glasses such as myself. I would recommend getting the lens protectors. You definitely can't fit a very big frame inside them, so be mindful of that. The batteries in the controller must last quite some time as I've had it for a couple of weeks and they are still full. The facial interface is comfortable but does seem to aid in sweating. I haven't had any issues with the lenses fogging up though. When playing, I recommend a nice open space with no obstructions. Setting it up was a peice of cake. You will need to use your real Facebook account to use it. It will walk you though the whole setup. Game play is pretty awesome. They have a decent selection that will just keep growing as time goes on. The built in mic and speakers sound pretty good too. There is a headphone jack if you want to go that route. I recommend playing some of the first step sort of games to get you use to the controls. With a decent gaming pc, you can link and play steamVR content too. You will need the oculus rift software downloaded to play from your pc. Overall, you can't go wrong with the quest 2. I plan on getting a second one so the wife and I can play together.
