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 I’d 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.

          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 šŸ‘, lot of crazy situations going on right now, sucks šŸ˜•

              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 šŸ‘

                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..

                ibins Hey guy do you have other social media? l have someone questions

                It's hard to beat Facebook when they plowing 10bs a year into VR AR stuff

                  I exchanged words with the Zuck back in the day. Spending money is not making money. Facebook's business model was never about making money, although they made some money. Zuck is in it for higher goals. FB / Meta can spend billions on R&D but what we see with Pico 4 (I suspect) is incredible corporate espionage. How did Pico develop a clone of Quest Pro launched a month before Quest Pro? Obvious answer: for every billion FB / Meta spends on R&D, Pico / ByteDance only needs to spend a much smaller amount to steal the project specs, or to take the ideas when someone leaks them, and they win. FB / Meta will never be able to manufacture goods as cheaply as any Chinese corporation. Unless FB / Meta is willing to sell what they create at a loss they will always lose in the developmental costs to Chinese companies. In the words of Steve Jobs, "Good artists copy, great artists steal". And the pirates of Silicon Valley just got pirated by the great buccaneers of the CCP!
