Oculus Quest is an all-in-one gaming system for virtual reality. No wires. No PC. Just set up with the Oculus mobile app, and you're free to explore VR from almost anywhere. Sensors inside the headset precisely track your movements and instantly translate them into VR, while helping you steer clear of nearby objects.

Remember cashback at 4.5% for an extra $25.77 bringing total cost to $604.23 which seems like a great price for this product considering it rarely goes on sale and has just received several new features including hand tracking and pc tethering.

      It's been 630 on Amazon since July though, or am I missing something?

      • protagonist on 30/09/2019 - 15:57

        I think you're right that its been $630, I've been looking to buy one for a while now I recall its been $630. Though I'm after the 128gb.

        • meeowth on 30/09/2019 - 16:06

          I do notice that whenever they are restocking the .com.au version, they list the .com version instead which has a higher price and steep shipping, so it would be easy to not realize the .com.au price hasn't changed in months.

        • plentifoo on 30/09/2019 - 16:53

          Bought and sold the 128gb. No one needs 128gb at this stage tbh. Gaming ecosystem still revolves around minigames and skill tester games eg beatsaber and the like. If u like rpgs, VR still has a long way to go.

          • Batapotamus on 30/09/2019 - 17:30

            @plentifoo: I've got both the 64 and 128 GB version. If you travel a lot like I do, HQ 3D movies and media fill it up pretty quick. Just paid $790 two days ago for the 128gb version. 64gb was out of stock until mid October.

              Are these the half side by side / half over-under type movies where you lose half the resolution? Can it play those?

              • Batapotamus on 01/10/2019 - 05:20

                @lostn: It does both and I've also played 2k movies and shows without a hitch. Sometimes the higher bitrates don't play well over wifi hence the 128gb suits my needs

                • lostn on 01/10/2019 - 10:13

                  @Batapotamus: Are your 3D movies in mkv format or some netflix/hulu style streaming service?

        • protagonist on 30/09/2019 - 17:16

          You're likely right about 64GB being enough, probably me just thinking about the old days where you get an 8GB iPhone and you wished you went higher.

          But with ALVR and soon tethered-Quest PC gaming, storage constraints becomes less of an issue. Though I was thinking of loading a bunch of videos to watch on the plane with the Quest for a nice big virtual screen, lol.

          Looking forward to retiring my Oculus CV1 for an untethered experience, though feels like my lifeline to the real world is getting severed haha.

            @protagonist: with wearing oculus quest, I can't watch whole movie because it is not comfortable. Even you stored 1000 movies in oculus quest, you can not watch more than 2 in one flight.

      Quote

      Facebook developed Oculus Link, a new feature that'll let its standalone VR headset connect to gaming PCs for more complex games and experiences.

      I'd buy it but unfortunately even with a link cable attached, the Quest can only display 72hz. That's a big downgrade from the 90hz from my Lenovo MR headset that only cost me $99 :(
      I might wait until Oculus release a mark 2 version of the quest hopefully with high refresh rates.

      • User2049 on 30/09/2019 - 14:16

        Worth noting it will work with steam vr so should report almost all vr games.
        The feature will be released in November.

      • ShaneC71 on 30/09/2019 - 14:26

        The resolution (as well as IPD Adjustment and OLED panels) and tracking is far superior on the Quest.

        • User2049 on 30/09/2019 - 14:31

          Resolution is near identical, but the OLED and IPD would make a difference but going down to 72hz could be quite noticeable.

      • snoopydoop on 30/09/2019 - 14:27

        Omg, amazing! I've been using virtual desktop to stream wirelessly (which is actually not bad if you're not fussy, obviously slight latency but under ideal conditions it's playable, and bonus of no wires attached. But will be great to be able to play with a wire!

        • theguyrules on 30/09/2019 - 14:31

          But will be great to be able to play with a wire!

          I want a Quest to avoid a wire.

            @theguyrules: Haha for sure. Well I don't have another VR headset - so being able to play certain games such as Skyrim or No Man's Sky with no latency will be good. But Virtual Desktop has worked better than I expected.

            But the no wire thing is amazing. I cleared out my garage and played Superhot in a massive space, so immersive being able to move quickly and not worry about anything in the physical world.

      • jasswolf on 30/09/2019 - 16:34

        Keep in mind the better VR displays are low persistence technology, so motion blur shouldn't be as jarring at 72 Hz, particularly if there's some sort of black frame insertion tech involved.

        It's still probably not worth the upgrade for you, but it's a different space to monitors.

        In the second half of next decade, we should even see hardware acceleration of frame rate amplification technologies ('fake' frames). Perhaps hardware AI-acceleration might even bring this into being faster than first thought (tensor cores, etc).

      • Zaptruder on 01/10/2019 - 00:19
        +1

        The panel can technically do 90Hz, but would require FCC recertification.

        So they'll be releasing initially as a 72Hz headset for PCVR in November - but I think they've mentioned that they'll be investigating the possibility of making that change happen - meaning that it might well turn into a 90Hz PCVR headset in a few months after its initial PC 'launch'.

        They simply didn't bother getting it certified at 90Hz because the bottleneck was the SOC on the Quest, not the OLED panel.

        • User2049 on 01/10/2019 - 11:04

          that would change everything.

  • kei on 30/09/2019 - 14:19

      No.

    • ShaneC71 on 30/09/2019 - 14:29

      Only if you want to store a lot of media. 3d movies for example.

      • lostn on 30/09/2019 - 22:40

        how big are the games typically? Is it more in line with mobile games, or PC/PS4 games?

          +1

          Some are a few hundred megabytes, some can be up to 3gb. It's very easy to just delete and redownload though.

          Keep in mind that very few games currently have cloud save functionality however (it's a new feature that developers haven't adopted fully yet), so you lose progress if you delete them.

    • snoopydoop on 30/09/2019 - 14:31
      +1

      Depends on the price difference, and your internet speed. Right now smaller is fine, but as game library expands, it will come in handy. No external memory so whatever you buy you're stuck with.

      I'd personally pay probably $70-100 more for the 128gb.

    • Jackkkkkk on 30/09/2019 - 15:43

      Not worth it at all. I had the 128gb and returned it and bought a 64gb. Still lots of space

      The games are potentially a big downgrade, unless you stream them which would still need the pc to be on

      • theguyrules on 30/09/2019 - 14:27

        Yeah, I guess, and not having access to my Steam games would cost a lot in re-purchasing from the Oculus store.

        • User2049 on 30/09/2019 - 14:28

          You could access steam games but only while tethered and would have to buy ones you wanted to play standalone.

      The PC tethering isn't wireless… you know that, right?

      You can play Skyrim on the Quest wirelessly, but it's a pretty buggy experience.

      • busymoddingskyrim on 30/09/2019 - 17:46

        I've read that if you connect said device to your PC's wifi(not local network) it's pretty functional?

        • b-radicool on 30/09/2019 - 17:53

          The Quest's primary mode of operation is standalone, rendering with its own inbuilt CPU/GPU and utilising wifi for networking functionality.

          The PC tethering (with cable) allows the Quest to utilise a PC for better graphics performance, which includes compatability with Rift titles such as Skyrim. In this mode, wifi would still only be used for network functionality, if at all.

          • trankillity on 01/10/2019 - 08:53
            +2

            @b-radicool: It does not have to be tethered. There are multiple methods for wireslessly streaming VR and normal games to the Quest using a 5GHz wifi network from ALVR to RiftCat to Virtual Desktop.

            The quality is quite impressive, however you're looking at 20-80ms latency for the encode -> transmissions -> decode pipeline, which is ever-so-slightly noticable in VR. Definitely not perfect, but for slower paced games it works great.

      • Mesmus on 30/09/2019 - 17:52

        Some people say it's a fine experience if your wireless network is capable of 5ghz

    • woobeforethesun on 30/09/2019 - 18:00

      They are looking into wireless streaming as well, but it will be tethered via a USB-C cable between PC and the Quest to begin with. They have said multiple times though that wireless is coming, so fingers crossed, you should get what you're looking for, but not just yet :)

          These days, very positive. The launch firmware was rough (static flashes, wonky tracking) but these days it's perfect for my needs - which is mostly lots of beat saber. Looks great too, compared to the CV1.

          All that said, I'm seriously considering selling it and buying a Quest for the portability.

    • Wiede on 01/10/2019 - 20:21

      Psvr is way more comfortable than Quest (I have all the major headsets including Vive, Rift S, Rift CV1 etc) and if you think psvr becomes uncomfortable after 30 mins than you won’t like Quest. Quest is quite front heavy although imho I think it is the best headset all things considered. The untethered experience will more than make up the front heavyness of the headset.

      • yak on 01/10/2019 - 21:15

        There are a lot of people modifying the headset themselves with heavy objects (roll of coins, battery bank, etc) on the rear to counterweight the front heavy mask.

        There are also various additional straps and cushioning that you can purchase reasonably cheaply.

        You can use a HTC Vive Deluxe Audio Strap if you have one with your Vive, or buy one if you have money to burn and can still find one. No one in Australia stocks them new (Amazon and eBay have them, but Hella expensive) except for Vive.com themselves. I don't know if they're still being manufactured or if this is all just remaining stock. Americans can get it easily, but none of those storefronts ship to Oz.
