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

This game system is the coolest experience we have in the home. I didn't have high hopes as I am super bias toward the old fashion paddle and game set. However I cannot get my wife to stop playing. This has been a fun family gaming system for advanced gamers like myself and someone who has never played games before like my wife. The reality head set last for about 3-4 hours on a single charge, and comes paired with everything you need. Watch a few YouTube videos and this system will have you wanting more. The price tag is always scary but there are some perks of this gaming system: 1- the system comes with everything you need. No additional controllers are needed maybe grab a $20 carrying case from Amazon or Walmart.com 2- the games are cheaper than PS5, Xbox X, or Nintendo switch. I have own each system and buying additional paddles and games add up fast at $50-60 each time. The Quest 2 you can download free content without any subscriptions and hit the ground running. If you want to buy a game the games will typically run $15-30 a game download. I haven't purchased a game yet and have had hours upon hours of gameplay fun with the family. Lastly another cool feature is the casting option. If you have a headset your friend, spouse or whoever is near by can watch you game on casting options which is super cool. I highly recommend giving the Quest 2 a try. This is the next generation of gaming.

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).
