Don't they also have their own developed OS? Depending on popularity and/or OS restrictions it could be that it will receive little or no support from SLR.
Pico 4 vs Quest 2
- Edited
does anyone know why the IPD range is translated to a range WAY larger than quest2? I have an IPD of 56 so was hoping for new devices to potentially have a more inclusive range but this is WAY different than i was expecting
edit: reading more in the thread, seems what @spacepirate mentioned would explain the change.
As long as there is SLR on Pico 4, it doesn't matter if there are games or not.
If you want to get a new headset, pico seems to be the obvious choice, at least as good or better then Quest 2 in every aspect, and slightly cheaper.
But certainly not worth an upgrade.

Indeed, the problem right now, though, is that most folks don't have enough money to get a new headset at any price and those who do have lots of money for the most luxurious options available. A combination of COVID-19 policies, the Green Movement, and vast spending on war, all taken from tax and through savings from Inflation, mean that there's not much of a market for mid-range these days. But the Pico 4 is a great sign that either Meta must cut prices to stay in the game or bow out of VR.

You can download the videos for any machine.
I don't use meta's games. For me, a headset is a TV replacement for watching classic film and occasional appreciation of VR porn, because for VR180 porn companies like SLR are doing more innovative work than most producers of non-porn content.
Still waiting for a successor to my Reverb G2 in the same price range...this isn't it.
think im just gunna wait for quest 3 and hope im not priced out of it
Not enough of an improvement over Quest 2 for me to buy it as an upgrade. If I were a first time buyer though, it would definitely give me food for thought as to whether Iād go for this over the Quest 2.

Look at what's going on in America, if that's where you are ... No one in the news is talking about the Strategic Oil Reserves. For the past few months the gas prices have been kept artificially low for the upcoming American midterms. After the midterms there will be a major crash. Prices are going to skyrocket because it will be next to impossible for the Americans to maintain their supply chain. Most goods that they purchase are delivered by trucks, cars, or some form of gas-based vehicle. Heating costs are going to go sky high (remember that war in Ukraine? When Putin shuts down that pipeline to Germany the Europeans will need energy from somewhere). I don't have a good headset, but if I had the money I'd buy one now. Things are going to get lots more expensive, for Americans and countries, like mine, linked to their economy. Expect lots of economic migrants from literal starvation. Buy stuff today because your money won't go as far tomorrow.
[deleted] damn G you scaring me, I'm just trying to watch sum hotties! Lol

In the uk we have been forced to wank away the fear of the immenent economic collapse, after all the government and power companys cant take our money if we already spent it on a headset, toys and scripts.

Watch porn until the power goes off! New strategy for the UK. QE2 would approve.
Apologies for the dark observation, but the advice is honest. Buy stuff now cause tomorrow the price goes up.
[deleted] it's All good G , lot of crazy situations going on right now, sucks
Hell, my gearvr didn't work anymore cuz they updated my samsung 10+ which caused me to have to buy an oculus, the bright side being I bought it a lil before they raised the price
Vrsumo2017 l think you have already had the Reverb G2 :
innol nah, I bought an quest 2 right before they up the price.
if the pico really has better lenses and FOV, it might be worth it.. they claim there are "no black rims&bars" in the FOV anymore with the pancake lenses
Currently if you are rich get quest pro ,if not choose pico 4 both of them have colorful passthrough quest 2 is outdated..
