ordered the 128gb, I never used the space 256gb on my quest 2 as pretty much I stream everything. Amazon telling me that it will be with me on the 10th Oct.

    g2kbuffetboy and I'm very much looking forward to the Pimax 12k QLED whenever it comes out

    Yeah, same here...not holding my breath since originally it was ballparked for Q4 of 2022, and now there's not a whole lot of info coming out while they're pushing the Crystal 😞

    theHobbit ordered the 128gb, I never used the space 256gb on my quest 2 as pretty much I stream everything.

    The $150 upsell for the 512gb seems obscene to me. Storage is incredibly cheap these days.

      justsomedude101 yeah I agree - if they had 256gb option I may have gone for that for a few quid extra but for the extra I am saving that will sort my subscription out to SLR for another year almost 🙂

      I totally agree, but when I travel (which I plan to use this for), 128GB can only hold like 15-20 scenes. I like to have some variety lol.

      I wish the USB-C port could be used with a thumb drive, but I'm reading that it can't?

      Did anyone find the AI stuff Zuckerberg was discussing interesting?

      He said ai npc, I just thought about people who make virta a mate characters would be able to make them have conversations. Are they doing that now?

      I wonder if virtamate will work on q3 with out being hooked up to a computer. 🤔

      Idk, lol all that AI talk kinda bored me tho. 🤷‍♂️

      Text with snoop Dogg? 😴

      Text with Kendall Jenner tho? Hey now! 😏😉

      Important points

      • Two Screens - this is a MASSIVE improvement from Leaks, a big boost for resolution!

      • Decreased DRAM from 12GB (leaks) to 8GB

      • LCD without a quantum dot layer

      • Reduced in price outside America (smart move!)

      • Allegedly the POV has increased. Let's hope this is accurate and perceptible.

        Found this on meta.com under 'Dazzling graphics': You can also see more with an increased field of view (104° horizontal/96° vertical) that extends your peripheral vision within virtual worlds.

        So that is suggesting:
        Q3: visible FOV of 104 and a rendered FOV of 110 degrees (Q2: visible FOV of 97 and rendered FOV of 104)

        The initial leaks from SadlyitsBradley on Youtube indicated there would be two LCD panels instead of a single LCD panel for the front display. However, Brad later corrected this information, stating that the design had been changed to a single panel. The final product features two adjustable LCD panels, providing approximately a 30% boost in pixels due to IPD adjustment. This results in a more immersive experience for the user.

        Additionally, the lower price point outside the US and the reduction in DRAM are both positive developments for SLR. While 12GB of DRAM may be beneficial for gaming, the lower price point and resolution are both very good news for SLR. VR180 films should play just fine with 8GB DRAM.

          [deleted] the lower price point outside the US

          You mean because they had lowered the announced prices by 20 bucks a few days ago? Because the prices, at least in the UK and EU, are still about $80 above the US price.

            The price reduction is substantial for non-gamers interested in trying VR.

            Germany, France, and Italy
            €569.99 --> €549.99

            UK
            £499.99 --> £479.99.

            Canada
            $689.99 --> $649.99

            These prices are now confirmed, not just speculation.

            • Wow, the US dollar has lost lots of value recently. Someone told me it was losing close to 3% per month, but this is crazy.
            • Meta calculated the prices equivalent to $500 USD in early summer 2023. Now you are right, because of the crash of American currency foreigners are paying more. I was wrong, SchnuppiLac! You were right!

            €549.99 = $578.00 USD

            £479.99 = $586.01 USD

            $649.00 CAD = $482.10 USD

            • Only Canadians save money. The rest appear ro save a small sum but actually lose money due to current devaluation of the American dollar.

            Does anyone has information if XR2 Gen2 supports video decoding resolutions over 8K ? Maybe 12K or 16K ?

              Can passthrough porn videos benefit from depth sensor?

              Smh, one thing I'm noticing about these hands on reviewers is no one really seems mind blowned by any of the pass through games, even the stranger things game they played has pass through and they just describe it as meh, the pass through it self they say is better then quest pro, but no real mind blowing experience im finding from any of these hands on reviewers.

                Vrsumo2017 I found that first encounters is amazing i mean just imagine a space ship breaking your ceiling and landing in front of you lol. This is what one of the reviewers saw

                  I wonder if the depth sensor can scan the entire house other than one room.

                    LOLBRUH I bet it will look amazing, but I seen around 6 or more hands on reviews and no one seems mind blowned

                    You got link to your video u saw?

                      yes I watched those too these are great reviews i seen
