Maybe only certain people can hand out the $60 referrals. Mine still show $60Aw man. I just ordered my quest 3 and now the referral is down from $60 to $30.
Bummer. Oh well.
It might have worked. After accepting your referral, it said $60. We’ll see in maybe 6-8 hours.Maybe only certain people can hand out the $60 referrals. Mine still show $60
I was planning on getting a Quest 3 512GB from Walmart for in-store pick-up tomorrow. I wonder if it works for other retailers?https://www.meta.com/referrals/link/MarkMe2525
use referral beforehand and we both get $60 store credit.
Edit: this goes for everyone. Dont have to use my referral, but get one from someone you know and like to get $60. This is running until the end of the year. Works even if you currently have a Quest 2.
It works with any retailer. You click the link and give them your email. When you activate the headset and use that email, we both get $60.I was planning on getting a Quest 3 512GB from Walmart for in-store pick-up tomorrow. I wonder if it works for other retailers?
Also, when I click it, it says, "There was an issue accepting this referral. You may not be eligible because the country or region is not supported, you referred yourself, or you already accepted this referral." On your end, does it show I accepted it? Or is it because I have to wait for the new device, or remove the Quest 2 from my account? I'm a little confused. The game referrals work no issue.
All good brosephSorry I couldn’t get this to work MarkMe2525
Quest 2 is great for kids and very first entry into VR. It’s all uphill from there.I just got quest 2 for my nephew this christmass... let's hope he doesn't know about quest 3 existing
I've not installed anything on it obviously to leave him with fresh experience/setup.Quest 2 is great for kids and very first entry into VR. It’s all uphill from there.
Great Uncle purchase.

I believe you could also activate on the new account by referring yourself, then gift games you buy from new account to old account, then switch to old account. Just careful where you accept Asgard's Wrath 2 for free (on old account ideally). I haven't done this but it should work for any of you who are going from Quest 2 to 3, and if you want to keep everything on one account.Wait... should I refer myself (create a new Meta account on the Q3, and use my own referral code from Q2)?
Then I'd have $60 to spend to re-buy the games on the new account that we want for multiplayer, plus get credit on the old one. Seems like a win-win even if it requires me to split into 2 accounts going forward.
Yeah, that's lame. It should be for everyoneShame it seems region based. Picked up a Quest 3 at the weekend so thought I'd try your link but it says may not be eligible because the country or region is not supported (I'm in UK) ah well, still got my free Asgard Wrath 2 and 25% off welcome offer to grab something on the store with
I would be afraid this dummy account would mess up the asgards wrath redemption and it gets stuck on the wrong account.I don't think it's region based (though some are excluded) and I also don't know if it's $60, that might be very targeted, but a few things may be happening. If you are transitioning from a Quest 2 to a Quest 3 you won't get anything because you're already in the ecosystem, ie. no need to be referred.
Of course you can always make a new account to get the referral.
If you've already set up a new Quest 3 but accidentally didn't accept the referral. There is still hope if it's within 7 days.
1. Delete all your device data and unlink the new quest from your account here: https://secure.oculus.com/my/devices/
2. Reset the headset according to this method (doing it from headset may be more reliable): https://www.meta.com/en-gb/help/que...essories/troubleshooting-factory-reset-quest/
3. Use a fresh meta account that doesn't have a Quest tied to it to accept a referral. You can use mine: https://www.meta.com/referrals/link/Hot5pur
4. Set up the device as before and register the headset with the fresh meta account
Those a great choices. I think if you can buy one more, Walkabout Minigolf is a must.I've not installed anything on it obviously to leave him with fresh experience/setup.
He is 9 I think.
Is that too early for re4 lol ? probably....
What games to recommend to his parents to get? is there anything free?
Obviously side quest + mods for classic games is one thing (doom3, half life1, doom1,2, rtcw- all the stuff I had on quest1 back in the day but sidequest was completely different so I have no idea what to do now).
I am just thinking Robo Recall + beat saber is A MUST.
Yep that's a good point. It gives you a screen to redeem it so people best not redeem it on an account they don't want. I don't think it's automatically activated but I can't remember anymore.I would be afraid this dummy account would mess up the asgards wrath redemption and it gets stuck on the wrong account.
Yeah, I was explaining the dummy account process to someone when they pointed that out. I'm glad they caught it, I would of felt like shit if I took part in someone missing out on their free game. On the flip side, the game is $60 but then you have to add taxes (hence why I have a fake Oregon address that doesn't get charged sales tax )Yep that's a good point. It gives you a screen to redeem it so people best not redeem it on an account they don't want. I don't think it's automatically activated but I can't remember anymore.
Lots of free content like Gym Class, RecRoom, RobloxI've not installed anything on it obviously to leave him with fresh experience/setup.

Totally understandable. VR is not for everyone. And the entry price can be very overwhelming to newcomers.eveery now and then i get the impulse, then i remember i'm not rich and there are better uses for that much money, especially for how little i use vr nowadays
Played a bit of Asgard's Wrath 2 on a friend's Quest 3, then picked it up for my Quest 2.
The difference in quality is far too small for the upgrade.
Great game though.
40% resolution increase and 90fps vs 72fps. I noticed it instantly switching back and forth but not worth buying a Q3 for
Honestly didn’t feel anything like a step up enough to justify the upgrade. I was actually very surprised at how well it runs on Quest 2.
The bolded has been me from the tail end of the 360 generation upwards, retro+indie games were the only thing keeping gaming alive for me... Until I got a PSVR back in 2017, and later on a Quest 2 in 2022.had a quest2, didn't really use it for long (from no vr legs to hard to find sweet spot), but had a couple of fun nights with it... then sold it after a year. Now sincerely the quest3 bug is biting me... the price isn't much of a concern, but i really need to decide if i want to get serious about vr gaming or no... i'm a bit burned from console/pc gaming right now (too much story in the games, gameplay got left behind long ago, i game for the interactive side of things, otherwise i could watch a film or an anime...) so this could be the new spark or the nail in the coffin... gonna see a couple videos on youtube and decide... anyway ther's someone that was burned from quest2 and decided to buy a 3 and is happy?? sorry for the small rant..
Not so much in your face screen door, but the low resolution is still obvious compared to your modern monitors or TVs. The lenses and resolution upgrade from a CV1 will be massive, but the LCD's inferior contrast/colors and lossy PCVR compression artifacts will be equal part downgrades. I've never touched or seen a Quest 2 in person so I can't really speak to differences or worth, I used an Index during that "generation". If the extra $200 ain't gonna have you skipping meals or pawning stuff off, I'd get the Q3 for its superior SOC performance (which also benefits PCVR, it can stream higher bitrates) as there's likely to be a Quest exclusive game you want to play in the future (like Asguards Wrath or Ass Creed).So for those that jumped on Quest 3, how has it been?
I’m seriously thinking about jumping back into VR this summer, from the old Oculus Rift. Mainly PCVR but I’m not quite sure if it’s worth going impulse price and still capable Quest 2? Or is the extra couple hundred bucks for Quest 3 worth it to have the most recent model?
Is screen door effect still a thing?
After using VR for nearly 7 years now, I've found that VR just isn't that great for long-term gaming. While it's not all bad, I think the issue is that it's not limited in scope enough so you get a whole bunch of neat little thralls but very little of thorough substance. If I were Nintendo or someone and I made a VR platform I would focus on the 2D games in VR like Moss. I would love a Mario platformer a proper JRPG like that. And they are easy to play and be immersed for a long time without getting worn out.
I used it for socializing and watching movies on apps like Bigscreen and VR Chat. It's fantastic for that kind of thing.So you were playing games with no substance for 7 years in VR? That actually speaks volumes to the technology. There's absolutely no platform I would play crap games for 7 years on.
