Just so that you're aware, you're miles off about the 128 gb fitting 'one, maybe two' games. We don't know how large most games will be on the Q3 yet, but the Q2 only has a couple of games that are around 10 gb or more. Yes, there's a crazy large Medal of Honor game, but everything else, and I do mean everything, is tiny by comparison. The smaller Q3 will almost certainly fit an average of 10-15 games on it. Or, likely a few more even. And, if you favor smaller experiences, it'll probably fit 30-50 or more. I can barely count how many games on Q2 are less than 1 gb. For the average person taking a punt on VR who doesn't know that they're much of a gamer or care all that much, the smaller headset should be more than adequate.

People say they don´t like Meta/Facebook headsets, but, they end up buying them because they know Quest 2 was a top quality build product and Quest 3 as it looks will be even better product with those pancake lenses and larger FOV etc. I am one of those people. 😐

Mixed virtual reality is 100% the future, just not in a big bulky device on your face. In 50 - 100 years when computers are infinitely smaller that they can be integrated into your prescription glasses, that’s when I see mixed reality to be a thing.

I think it doesn’t really matter about liking meta or not, for the best headsets as of now, it’s either meta, a chinese company or fairly expensive only VR headsets

It would be very interesting to see a diirect comparison between Q3 and your high-end headsets Crystal/Varjo

Until it's lighter and more comfortable, VR will never go mainstream. I haven't found a headset somewhat comfortable since the Rift S and I'm an enthusiast.

"You're leaving performance on the table to be backwards compatible to support Quest 2" - I really don't understand this comment, it makes no sense to me. Why wouldn't you want to play Quest 2 titles first and foremost and the Quest 3 updates can come later. To me this is a win win. 😄

Where I think mixed reality has a place in sims is what Varjo showed a while back with the XR3 when you have a simpit and you can mark off the area with your panels and controls and see them properly and the rest outside of that area is the virtual world.

I think they've done a lot with the variable resolution and settings that devs should be able to utilise the hardware of the Quest 3, while still making it work on the Quest 2. So, I don't think it will hold devs back too much. On the other hand, just think how angry people would have been if 50+ games came out with no Quest 2 support.

Great video. If it makes you feel better, I think it's the ongoing revenue from subscriptions and game purchases in their store that really supports them. As well as any data harvesting, but they decoupled facebook login which helped a lot. Getting the headset as a once off to connect to steam isn't going to make a big difference to their bottom line since they probably don't make a lot of money on these units.

You know what in the pimax Crystal the eye-tracking actually was better than I estimated it was when you and I spoke before. I'm actually pretty impressed. I can now turn on msaa and still maintain 90 fps. It's pretty nice to get rid of majority of those shimmering Jaggies. I can't wait for my Weider field-of-view lenses to arrive.

Whether you hate Meta or not, you can't deny how impressive the Quest 2 and soon Quest 3 as a product that bring the true impressive technologies of the future while not costing too much. I'm a huge picky when it comes to techs. Never wanted to buy the new iteration within 3 years until these Quest 2 to Quest 3 but I'm still have thoughts on whether to upgrade or not

It's important for me that you remain unbias in your reviews despite your views on Meta. Im personally a fan of Zuck and Meta and I appreciate this approach.

Until Valve gets serious about the Deckard or Sony decides to throw a few hundred million behind PS VR 2 studios, I think the Quest 3 is the best we're going to get. I guess that'll change if/when others step into the arena, but who knows?

VALVE INDEX... has great FOV (about 40% bigger than Quest 2), 144 Hz, great sound, perfect tracking, no compression artifacts, tons of mods including RX lenses, plano lenses, weight kits, native STEAM and awesome controllers. Pass.

Im upgrading from rift s, maybe mixed reality not the best for games but will be very cool with modelling apps / openbrush has pass thru!!!

I'm curious if you will use the Quest 3 in DCS? Id like to upgrade from my G2 but i dont have the room set up to do base stations and the Pimax Crystal is really my only option. From what I'm reading about the after sales support and QC of the Crystal, even on their discord, it is really discouraging for the price.

I've bought the Quest 3 as an upgrade to the HP Reverb G2, easiest decision I've ever made - infact I bought 2, one for my brother as well. Looks a solid all around headset. I've seen enough opinions on PCVR encrypted video to know you can easily surpass the G2 picture quality if you have a decent system, so my 13900K RTX 4090 should do well in the Quest 3 for PCVR, and I can upgrade to the 14900K RTX 4090 Ti as well if required. 👍

Quest 3 512 gb version with the Elite Strap with battery is a must buy for me, add my attachable MYJK earphones or some ear buds and I am all set, I'm debating on whether I should buy the charging dock for the Quest 3, that's another $129, do you think the charging dock is really worth it and necessary for the Quest 3?, I didn't have a charging dock for the Quest 1 and Quest 2, I always just used the charging cable and adapter that came with the headsets before

Well said. You should get the Quest 3 and do a full review

Hello Mark Mr. Majestic here. I'll be looking forward to your review. 🙂

Quest 3 would be better for room scale VR than Crystal.? The difference won't be so much for sharpness between Crystal or Q3 ? night and day or just not the difference?

99 times out of 100, people should just buy whatever product is the best for them. Who cares if you don't like the company or the CEO? The best product should always win.

IMO it's going to great for VR Racing. Being able to look at apex's by just moving my eyes :)

Buy it. It's ok to change your mind. Never be stuck in forward gear, fixated by some previous pledge. This is one of humanity's biggest problems, look at the world, especially politicians, never able to uturn on their previous bad choices, ending up causing a hell of a lot of damage, including wars, just because they can't change their minds.

Passthrough and mixed reality features are more relevant for the VR "Pron" industry than gaming, and it does make a difference. I wouldn't know personally, but had a friend tell me as much........😉

As for PCVR use, you would think that with the much faster XR2 Gen2 chip, theoretically, it should be able to decode the video coming from the PC a lot faster thus possibly seriously reducing the visual compression. This is the problem with the Quest-2 and Pico 4, especially the Pico 4, it has the same panel resolution as the Reverb G2 but yet looks nowhere as good as the G2, I have both and for sim racing and even flight sims (MSFS), anything in the distance (looking down a race track, the farther you look, the more you can see the compression in the form of loss of detail) whereas it's still very clear in the G2. This is my biggest gripe with stand alone HMDs, what's the point of upping the resolution if the image quality will look like hell due to compression for PCVR. But then again, they don't want you to use PCVR, they want to make money selling stand alone games on their respective stores. The Pico 5 will have higher res, and the top of the line model (Pico 5 Pro Max) will also have Display Port connection, but it's price tag will be over $1k USA. That's a little too pricey for me. Oh yeah, the Pico 5 will have 3 models, Pico 5, Pico 5 Pro and Pico 5 Pro Max, the first two will have the same resolution (roughly similar to the Aero) the Pro Max will be in the 3k x 3k range, can't remember the exact numbers. Each model has different launch dates in 2024.

How about if it had cellular connectivity and some face and maybe eye trakcing ? Ps.: i think youre wrong. The mixed reality is the future. And im not talking about games. Im talking about life, conectivity and social interaction even .

I feel like you look like that dude that shouldn’t be in VR chat talking to younger kids 😂

Did this guy say the 128 will hold "MAYBE" a game?? My 128 quest 2 has like 20 games and only like 2 or 3 are over 10gb. 128 should be more than enough

Best thing you can do is buy quest3( in your case i would probably upgrade that Logitech wheel 1st:)) and only use it for pcvr then they probably only lose money on the sale but you are probably wrong on the 512gb version its just not worth it most people play only a few games at a time and they are much smaller size its a mobile platform. You are right not sure why these companies keep pushing MR its just a gimmick that budget should have went into eye tracking would provide foveated rendering and extra in game features using it in games like on psvr2.

So Mixed reality is going to be good. But you are thinking about the wrong usecase. Even with the Quest Pro now You can Use Virtual desktop and the Oculus Browser in Multitasking to create a Two monitor Setup Being able to put a Big screen on your wall to Pancake game on with having a moveable interactable screen beside you is great. Meta seem like they are going to expand that. But Forget VD. You can Sideload a Browser like Brave, Then sideload GeForce Now and Game pass, Sideload Discord and with modest to good internet (40Mbps+) you basically have a 3 monitor Setup. Immursed Lets you do that using your PC power. With Spacial anchors coming to Q3 for Home environment Being able to customise your actual environment will be cool. MR Will have cool games and experiences. But what MR will ultimately let you do is replace Devices you already use for Virtual ones with added benefit of Freedom

What is your opinion on psvr2 is it better than the quest 3 ?

I did pre order it already but i have been thinking about canceling it. I feel the same about Meta. But i inversion a few uses for AR/MR. help with home repair/maintenance cars/trucks ect... look at something and pull down a schematic. or a how too. I do own a oculus rift. i did not like being forced into a meta account. I bought all my VR software from steam. But i am looking forward to playing table top simulator with the wife in MR would be fun. at a 50/50 now if i should cancel it. I did get the 512 version in hopes that someone will make a OS for it:)

Idk... supporting Facebook... may have to stop using those affiliate links..... LOL... seriously thanks for info.

I could not care less about mixed reality and hope they ditch it for gaming and move the recourses back to full VR. If I wanted to see the real world while gaming, I'd play Xbox

rip quest pro users

well Facebook/Meta may be at the top now doesn't mean they'll be at the top forever. they are only that way because they've been giving the best value for the customer when it comes to VR. meaning they're being good boys for now, once that changed, they'd lose their top position as well.

You can download 15 games on a 128. You can download 60 games on a 512

not a big upgrade from the Quest 2. No eye tracking, or facial tracking, I know that's more for Quest pro line but even the Res jump is not huge, the fov seems to be the best thing but that is to be seen. This is for people that are interested in QUEST exclusives running better, but I already have a beefy PC and only interested in things that improve that experience. I may have to wait for what Pico or Valve have to offer.

heck I don't like NIntendo either (they're a bunch of assholes who'd sue you for millions if they can just because you made a video about their game) but I love my Switch.

No it's not
