Oculus Quest All-in-one VR Gaming Headset – 128GB

The Future has finally arrived!!
I’ve been waiting for “virtual reality” since i was a kid. And after my 8-bit Nintendo gave way to the 16-bit era (and sega’s Genesis vs the Snes) that was the VERY first time I can remember seeing articles about virtual reality systems and imagining what this experience could be like… But when?? And Mind you- we hadnt even seen Mario 64 yet, let alone a PlayStation or an X Box… So im talking about the early/mid ’90’s at this point, and The technology was still a ways off–still in developmental stages and just beginning to be explored, and the surface just being scratched on how it could realistically be brought to the masses… While remaining affordable too.And so Like everyone else, I waited. And waited. And then waited some more. And it would take around 20 years before i could finally say that the future was finally here!!Attention gamers (or just anybody who’s curious about the “self-immersive” game experience), the time for waiting had finally come to an end. The future was here!!My first experience with the Oculus quest was using one that a friend of mine had gotten around time of the quest’s initial release (post Rift, and Rift-S). And when he brought it over and let me play with it that first time, I was immediately blown away!! The execution and the overall experience of the headset was jaw-droppingly incredible. with the headset on i was finally transported to a new digital construct… I was IN the game. I was finally living out something i had dreamed about since i was a teenager. And what helps differentiate the quest from other VR headsets is that it’s wireless!! No being tethered to a power source by cables or wires. And the full 360° interactive field of vision is something that you must experience in order to fully appreciate and see wh a t it is like… Words may do a fair job at describing it, but being able to visualize it; seeing it with your own two eyes is the only way that you can truly do it the service that it deserves. Since the technology entails manipulating sight and vision of the user, it is thee only way to understand what this experience truly feels like.The quest is a breakthrough achievement. Hands down! And for around $550 (tax included for the larger memory 128 gb version. There are 2–the other a 64 gb at $400), I think it’s relatively inexpensive given the price tags for their rival competitor’s headsets, and simply for the All-around quality that you get. The setup and interface is really straight forward. And with a “digital store” at your disposal you can get games instantly downloaded and that for the most part range from $15-30. When compared to the prices of console games, these are less than half of those. I can’t rave enough about my purchase and how impressed i am with the entire machine.I will say this: you’re gonna have to (or ‘should’, anyway) spend another 200 bucks for done essential accessories–including a few games, some valuable add-ons i think you should purchase are: a display stand, a head pad to improve the comfort of the headset while you wear it- which does feel a little lacking in that department but v that’s probably my biggest criticism. Some controller grips that help with the handling of them,vand perhaps MOST important of all–invest 15-20 bucks for a rechargeable double A battery charger. This is really (besides the game and the head pad) thee only real “must buy” bc the batteries do drain on the faster side–lasting only a couple weeks before with the 2 battsthat are included).But, if you’re scrolling thru these reviews bc you’re still on the fence and “unsure” and want to see what people are saying–please take it from me. This new virtual experience is the best thing since Mario. But I get it– I’d do the same;) But, honestly– get this! You will not regret it! And that’s a promise I make with the utmost of confidence.And in case you’re thinking this review is just “too darn good” well I want to go on record and officially say that I’m not a “plant” or some phony reviewer either–I have no affiliation with oculus or the company what so ever:) I’m just a 40-year-old dude who had been dreaming of the day that virtual reality would finally arrive and be good enough and affordable enough to lay down some money for and being into your home. I haven’t been playing my other consoles as much bc ive been so sucked into this, I almost feel bad… But notice i said almost lol. When you’re having this much fun you shouldn’t feel guilty about a thing;)I’m truly happy to be writing such a favorable/positive review for something that ive been waiting so long to experience;) It’s like I said– the future is here! You’re not just playing games anymore…You are IN the game now. IN IT. It really feels like you’re there! I’m not kidding-when you try it you will see what im saying; A purchase you will not regret!As for the library and having variety– as you can imagine there are many first person shooter types that take advantage of the hardware, but the ones that I’ve played are excellent. But beyond that I There are games where you can climb, fly, fight. There’s a little bit of everything. And You can get a real workout playing some of them–and actually sweat from the activity that can be involved–No joke. “Racket NX” is probably my favorite “sports game” (a futuristic tennis/racketball hybrid). Also, “drop dead” and “robo recall” are great first-person shooters that I’d recommend be in anyll quest owner’s gaming library. And “Moss” is an incredible adventure game that is kinda in the vain of Zelda, but instead of Link you control a cutearmor-wearing mouse with a sword. It was actually my VERY first game purchase, and it’s a game unlike any other in that it combines first and third person perspective, based on this accomplishment I can’t wait to see what the developers do next bc i think it’s a remarkable achievement:) and if a few days ago, “Vacation simulator” was my most recent purchase (i probably have bought 8 games)b and if full of mini games and lots to tackle to keep you playing for hours on end. Plus there are a lot of demos and free games… Vader Immortal: episodes1-3 came as a free bundle, but I’m not sure if that was just a limited time promo??But the feeling of finally wielding a light saber and to hear it’s energy swirl around you as you swing it was a highlight that makes me giddy again just thinking about it…But standing face to face with the dark lord himself was as much treat as it was frightening. Unfortunately it’s a quick experience which can be completed in a total of 3-4 hours but each episode has as mini lightsaber have that had some replay value. And just may be the best part besides the new content that you’re seeing unfold in the story-mode of the game itself.The only “negative” (and i use that very loosely since it’s really more of a minor “warning” than a legit pro/con point), is that some may take need a little “adjustment period”… Or just some time to get acclimated and/or accustomed to what it’s like to experience VR in general, and the foreignness of the full sensory engagement that VR undoubtedly is at it’s core. That being said, it’s not uncommon to feel a little motion sickness when you first play… but there are a couple ways that this effect can be reduced in the settings– by changing each individual game’s modes of “transport” (or getting around) to “teleporting” as opposed to “walking”. And also, changing your “guardian’s boundaries” that you set each time you turn on your quest– “stationary mode” has less locomotion (since you’re usually seated), whereas setting the guardian to a “roomscale mode” allows for a more liberating and freely moving experience… And add you might think–you may experience some motion sickness, but for me it was just in the first couple days off using it and not i can’t recall the last time I’ve felt even the slightest bit “off or nauceous”. Honest.But it really just boils down to individual sensitivity and familiarizing yourself with this, then the less likely you will feel it. Just remember, those who have any concerns about this should know that it can always be adjusted:) which brings me to my last “easing” of your mind, if that’s what you’re looking for in this review… Those fearing that they may “walk into something, or break something while playing–the “guardian” (which i mentioned earlier) defines the “playing area” that you will be using, And if you get close to the edge of that “invisibly digitally drawn and designed game zone- you will be alerted with vibration, and the headset also switching out of the “game’s headset view” to a view of your “actual real world surroundings” by way be if the 4 cameras on the four corners on the front of your headset.And for those that are hesitant still bc of the price, know this: I got my Oculus using the no-interest-payment plan over 12-months that’s specifically offered using the Chase Amazon credit card. This is basically 0 percent financing for purchases you decide and im literally paying only $41 a month fl over 12 months for mine. I think it’s beautiful! 😉 And I’ll say it again– At 0 (zer0) interest. Not a single penny.Anyhow, I could write on and on about how pleased and full of joy ive been with my Oculus purchase. I really do love it!So, trust me– If you’ve been thinking about getting one, just do yourself a favor and stop waiting;)I would think it nearly impossible for anyone (even seniors bc you can just toggle and adjust the settings to help cater certain effects to the user. And remember- the VR experience isn’t only about “games”. There’s apps for travel and entertainment too, and you can even watch TV and movie on it like your “prime video” or your “Netflix”, Making it useful and fun for people of all ages!Oh, and i almost forgot–the fact that you have “hands” in these games and experiences now is what also takes it to a whole other level. That’s what the controllers are for–They give you “virtual hands”. What a trip it is!! Anyway- Take my word for it and don’t wait any longer– get yourself one of these today! I promise- you will not be disappointed! I can’t imagine how anyone could be, with the Oculus quest!For the future is here people!And all u need to jump in is a wifi connection!Now, Have some fun! Bc I guarantee you will from the moment you don it for the very first time:)

I never thought I would enjoy this as much as I do. It’s really immersive and surprised how well the meditation apps works. It’s also really good to keep your whole body moving when playing a game and believe or not actually makes you break a sweat.This is why I recommend you also purchase protective gear like additional face cushion you can wipe clean and disinfect. I also recommend buying neoprene or rubber covers for the controllers – not only do you get a better, non-slip grip but the casing around the hand held pieces prevent the battery cover from slipping during aggressive play. I found the head gear comfortable enough without any additional covers but if there is more than one user in your house I’d consider getting something additions that wraps existing straps so that you can remove and easily wash them. Sweaty, greasy, hair can make it icky after a while. I haven’t ordered mine yet but will be knowing what I know now.The graphics vary from app to app and overall they are really good for the interactive stuff you’ll play. However, when watching Netflix, Amazon Prime video or other TV type viewing the picture is not as good. It’s watchable and the rooms you can watch them in make it feel like your actually at a theater minus the UHD picture. Then again that’s not what VR is for so I can live with it.Bottom line is this stuff has come a long way and at the current price point it’s good to jump in now. It will get better in the next few years and this was a good way for me to confirm I like VR and will definitely upgrade as technology continues to improve.

after un boxing, tried to charge it, it never get charged, there is an issue with the hardware it self, felt very disappointed!! such expensive product was did not pass quality assurance!!!

I bought this with 2 weeks until my son’s 21st birthday. I paid priority shipping, and despite Melbourne lockdowns, it actually arrived early!! This VR is phenomenal, so much fun, so immersive. I still can’t walk the plank with my fear of heights and twice i’ve tried to lean on a desk that isn’t really there. its way more comfortable than the reviews say, headset can get a bit sweaty depending what ur playing, but all in all, its the best gaming experience and well worth the price. Its as much fun to watch someone else playing as it is to play really – 100% recommend this!!!
