New head strap is unfortunately necessary, but you don't need the official link cable, any high speed USB-C cable will work fine, I bouyght one for like $15 on Amazon. You also don't really need Virtual Desktop as there is now an official Steam Link app and it can work wirelessly.Just bought the Quest 3. The audio (both the speakers and the awkwardly located headphone jack) is extremely mediocre and also, this is quite possibly the most uncomfortable VR headset I've ever tried. Despite those two things however, it's probably the best headset I've used as I loved the Rift S and this is just a mega improved version of that headset. I was worried about the visuals because it doesn't have displayport but trying out a few high end games to compare it to the Reverb G2, it basically is a toss up while having way better controllers, tracking, interface, etc.
Slightly annoyed that my $500 purchase turned into an almost $700 one because I felt like I had to buy a new head pad to make the horrible headstraps not dig into my skull, buy both Quest Game Optimizer and Virtual Desktop and buy the official $80 link cable which bafflingly isn't included with the headset purchase unlike literally every other VR headset.
But playing Batman last night made all my gripes go away. The game looks amazing and feels incredible to play and actually feels like a system seller. If Quest 3 had the Reverb G2/Valve Index audio, it would be the GOAT VR headset.
tried the pcvr metro game last night. Kinda bummed out. My experience so far is incredibly mid. The graphics are ver inconsistent. Most textures are confusingly bad. The enemies don’t have proper shadows. The interactive elements are second tier and I hear it’s all front loaded.
Also I’m really considering holding off on games like this and Batman where black levels matter. The next quest HAS to have oled panels. The grey shadows look awful. I’ll play some more tonight but honestly I’m a little more interested in modding Skyrim vr.
Finally ordered a 3S for me from euro Amazon since they sell it for 388 here (as current offer at that, otherwise more expensive) instead of 330. Can't wait!
Hope you enjoy it. I pretty much only need this thread to keep up with VR news thanks to you.Finally ordered a 3S for me from euro Amazon since they sell it for 388 here (as current offer at that, otherwise more expensive) instead of 330. Can't wait!

I've had (PC) VR before, it's as amazing as folks say (without meaning flat games are to die, just as 2D games weren't killed by 3D) I just sold it/worked too much for a few years so jumping back in now cos 3S is simply great value and I've missed a ton of cool stuff I've been posting about since.I'm so tempted to get one. What got you across the line? Please help me convince myself I need one

I suppose the first newer games I'll be playing are Batman and Asgard's Wrath II and other such big stuff but I will always go back to replayable staples like Pistol Whip and VTOL VR too as well as fan VR mods like Doom 3, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Prey, Half-Life 1 & 2 and other cool stuff...

No, here as in where I live, Greece, it's not officially sold and stores that bring it charge well over ~400 and reduced it to ~388 recently, maybe for Black Friday period, Idk, but I bought it from one of the Amazon shops (I always compare with Hagglezon) that ship here for the normal price of 330 eur.Wait, 388 is the usual price here? Shit... I guess I have to buy it now too then.
yeah I've been too busy for weeks to play any VR, but scrolling through the posts I missed... there are so many quality games out there now.So many games coming out it’s amazing.
YesI'm new to vr looking at a quest 3s as a newbie is it worth getting a 3s or a 3?
