I have an Oculus Quest, their first gen wireless one, it's fantastic and since it's wireless, you're not bound by cables to your PC.

Tried the Quest 2 also, graphics are a lot smoother, and the headset overall is cheaper.

Would recommend the Quest 2 if you're looking for something everyone can play with and enjoy since it's wireless and lets you get really immersed in it.

It does have a link up feature to VR ready PCs also, so even if you did want to play PC VR games you still can. It's really the best of both worlds.

Thx for that Effy, that is the one I'm thinking about. It was pretty awesome the 30 minutes I tried it. Done the boxing game, incredible graphics .

I have the headset for the PS4. And playing resident evil. Makes the game so much believable and scarier. But I love it. One thing about very tho is u can get motion sickness.

As I type this SjA is deep into squadrons on his Oculus Quest. No wires is definitely a benefit and I really like the new hand tracking advances (your controllers are your hands). We both have been getting into Tetris on the quest as it can be very mediative and a good way to transition away from work after a hard day at the WFH office.

While the new Quest looks good I don’t think there is enough advances to justify buying a new one. SjA on the other hand is counting down the days. I personally would suggest waiting for the new Quest comes out BUT buy a used older quest model for pretty cheap.

If its anything like the boxing game I tried , I reckon I would be shitting my pants if we swap the boxing opponent graphics for a zombie opponent.

I was litteraly ducking and trying to dodge the punches as it was so real.

First time I've tried it but wow!!!

Cheers for the comments and advice.

The new one has been out since the middle of October and at £399 the 256gb version is the same price as the 64gb version of the old one. As far as price and visuals go, (the new one has much less of a "screendoor" effect to it than the first,) it's a no brainer getting the 256gb Quest 2, or if you're not likely to download much stuff, you can go £100 cheaper and get a 64gb version.

The only major downside of the new one over the old is the headstrap is flimsy and uncomfortable, but you can buy a more comfortable straps separately for it anyway.
