I just got a Quest 2 headset, the used ones are on a fire sale post Christmas. A better face cushion and head strap are absolute musts! If your face is even a little broad the default strap and pads are going to dump all the weight on your cheekbones.

So a Quest 2 is still perfectly serviceable and as long as you're content wiring it to a PC for Steam link it should be a good headset for years to come. That said, VR is still largely just a novelty and it's such a crapshoot figuring out which games have a control layout that you'll find comfortable. There is so much useless outdated info for getting things set up properly because this headset and all the software have had years of updates. Also the community around VR in general isn't the most pleasant.

My recommendations for apps is a pretty short list.

Resident Evil 4: It's the most impressive VR game. Nobody has done better yet. This is THE demo game that shows what VR can be for gaming, and it's a very complete version of a game that people have loved and re-purchased since the days of the GameCube. This version is worth the full $40 asking price, though it will go on sale for less.

4XVR for locally stored videos. I got my Quest 2 thinking I'd lay in a hammock using it as a video player. This is the only video player I've found with a mode that lets you lay down and re-orient the screen so you don't have to be seated upright to watch. It also has the most compatibility with different codecs for audio and video. Currently it's free.

Immersed is the productivity app. It's "free" but they really want you to buy a subscription. This is the only desktop streaming app I've seen so far that allows you to display multiple screens. And they allow a pass through cutout so you can see your mouse/keyboard.

Moss and Moss 2 are ADORABLE platformers where you control an incredibly cute mouse character through a whimsical fantasy world shown as lovely storybook dioramas and from time to time you will directly interact with the world to move an obstacle to help your mouse traverse the world. It's a shame these games are VR exclusive because they could have such broader appeal for a wider audience.

Skyrim VR is a great way to wring EVEN more playtime out of that game, and it has an impressive range of play comfort options for VR. Fallout 4 VR does the same thing for Fallout 4. Two very strong options for meaty gaming experiences.

I strongly recommend checking out all the reviews and discussions for any Steam VR game that appeals to you before buying. A lot of games were made with the Vibe controls in mind which often means no analog stick support, which still works but I find them much more annoying when played on a wired headset.
Don't forget to find a referral so that you and that person can each get $30 Meta store credit. Also, there is a 30% off sale right now on lots of apps and games in the store using code SPRING30.

Referee gets $30 Meta store credit instantly upon new headset activation.

Referrer gets $30 Meta store credit within 30 days after new headset is activated.

My favorite game/app is Walkabout Mini Golf followed by Wander (basically Google Street Maps).

I bought the Quest 2 during Christmas 2023 when they were offering $50 Meta store credit (Walmart). I bought the Kiwi hand straps and BoboVR M2 head strap with battery. I also bought prescription lenses from HonsVR for $60.

I'm old (43) and didn't really think I would like it, but I do. I don't play everyday, and when I do it is usually a round of golf or two before I need give it a rest. I don't regret my purchase, in fact I bought one for my Wife a month ago so we can play mini golf together. :-)

To add to this, you don't need it to be wired to the PC to work well. Air Link works well enough if you have a strong Wi-Fi connection, but Virtual Desktop is amazing and a must. It even supports Passthrough now.

As for video apps, I highly recommend DeoVR. Has more features and allows DLNA.

If you want one but you're not in at this price, check out your local pawn shop. Plenty of them there for cheap and you can remove and wash the cushion/pads that rest against your head or you can easily buy a replacement online. Only problem is that they have different size ones but they all look the same. The only way I know to check the size (as far as I know) is to actually boot it up and link it to the Oculus app and the look through there but you have to go through the setup process and that's a pain if you have do to that in a pawn shop for each one they have if they are even cool with you doing that. If someone knows a better way (perhaps some serial number decoding someone figured out and put out a key?) then please let me know.
Basically you don't want to get a 64gb one and let them charge you the same as a 512gb one. That's the only problem I ran into and these are still great headsets. You don't need to lament not having the higher number version like the 3 unless you really really need a better pass through and mixed reality (which the Quest 2 already does albeit with a worse image on the pass through camera but still usable and able to have fun with) then you're not missing much.

There were now a total of four different wireless runtimes that allow you to connect from the HMD (Head Mounted Display aka VR headset) to the PC. Each has different advantage and disadvantages but If you're a regular person and not a developer or somebody who needs to fark around with all that different stuff, don't stress or be intimidated by it and just pick one that works for you and stick with it. Which is pretty easy as they included a tutorial for the Air Link that goes directly to the PC using Oculus's runtime which is fine for 99.9% of the people. We found Virtual Desktops to actually have a little less latency and I don't really consider ALVN an option for the things that we need. Lastly, I have not tried the Steam Link runtime that was recently released, but my understanding is that it is just fine.

I tried Virtual Desktop but didn't really see a point to it. It didn't do wireless any better than airlink for me and only being able to view one of my monitors felt very limiting. Perfectly playable, perfectly fine, for Steam VR but if you have to take the headset off for any reason and pause the session sometimes I'd get little hangups that required me to restart the entire session or else I'd have minor audio delay or the audio just wouldn't come back at all. A problem I wasn't experiencing while wired.

Is this a good deal? I have been wanting to get a VR headset, really want to play Halflife: Alyx. I have a decent computer and like the idea that you can use this in standalone mode or link mode. Am I missing anything?

Yes this is as valuable as the Nintendo switch.
