The Costco deal some time back was a lot better. I hope they bring it back

The website says the Oculus Quest 2 Elite Strap With Battery and Carrying Case is back ordered. Does anyone know when it will be available?

Most places are saying late March. I will wait as the quest 2 is easy to get. I want the batt strap.

Just got the 64GB one at Target and the Occulus Link cable with both a 10% off anniversary coupon and 5% red card for $347 total.

No, the quality is not close to actually watching on a high end TV.

But the porn feels more real.

remember, you're forced to have a facebook account to use this... that was a dealbreaker for me

A lot of people have this concern (myself included); I don't have an account, but what if I set one up just for this? Do we know how Facebook's privacy issues could affect their VR products directly? Or is it more of a matter of principle?

Don't let anyone fool you, the experience is great. It is pretty much exactly like being at the movies.

The dealbreaker for now is a lack of support from the streaming services.

You can watch Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Prime, Plex if you use it in native apps.

There's a sling app and a showtime app but both are god awful.

YouTube tv, Disney plus and Hulu work in the built in browser but it's not the easiest getting to the content you want.

Apple TV, HBO Max, Fubo, CBS all access, pretty much anything else you're SOL for now.

I used mine to set up my sons account. Ironically... other than recommending other friends that have a quest 2 device it is separate from your oculus account. All privacy settings are your choice. It's not that big of a deal after setting it up. no facebook info was shared or used by the oculus account. i was worried about that when we set it up.
