Virtual reality is amazing but there’s no escaping the cost. PC-based VR is expensive, requiring not just the headset and tracking kit but also a PC powerful enough to run it all. Oculus has an answer: the Quest is poised to change the game on consumer VR and if you’ve been on the fence, now is the time to hop down. This is our review of the Oculus Quest.

So its some sort of android based system or is it propitiatory OS running?
Either way wouldnt it make sense to allow some sort of game streaming/sharing like the nvidia shield either with a wireless dongle attached to the PC or a cable or a cloud based service
If this isnt the case i wouldnt get it because it would have to limited a library!
As far as Facebook, I'm not a fan of Zuckerberg either, but you are only hurting yourselves by not trying something for political reasons that is an amazing one of a kind experience. VR done correctly is amazing. Everyone that tries the headset is also amazed. The Quest is a fantastic experience (I've tried it multiple times).
I really can't wait though for Gen 2, but for now the Oculus Rift S or the Quest depending on what pros and cons are important to you are terrific. EDIT: Off topic, I haven't touched my headset in over a week because I'm addicted to Divinity Original Sin 2 on a widescreen monitor lol.

exactly my thought... what exactly is the everyone part here? same price as before.
if they want more people to buy em. drop the prices.

Anyway.. so.. if I buy this.. what are the games that work with it?
My impression is that it's a "walled garden" approach: much more so than Go; that's the biggest thing keeping me from buying one right now. I've seen people have success in side loading apps that aren't part of the 'official list', but I'm not really interested in doing that song and dance; side loading isn't the same as official support.

...all of the above are pretty great, IMO. VR as a medium is a fairly huge step forward. I've used both 6dof (Vive) and 3dof (GearVR) and honestly the translational degrees of freedom thing isn't as big a deal as the internet at large has made it seem.
The stereoscopic POV is a game changer.

Android based, you can sideload any app you want and yes, you can stream with VRidge, so with a bit of modding it works with all steam games too.
