This thing makes me feel like I'm 20 years old again. Just to be able to leave to another dimension is astounding!! It's like a mushroom trip ... But legal!!

I also highly recommend you get grip straps. These help keep the controllers in your hand comfortably with an adjustable elastic strap while also keeping the battery cover from constantly sliding off during gameplay. The magnetic cover, while cool, is also a big design flaw because it slips off a lot. I recommend the AMVR covers for Quest on amazon. They have been awesome. Replacing batteries takes a bit longer but it's worth it.

@@JustJeb1617 Yes. I've heard this. It's only recommended to play games outside during low light environments or at night time. Please DO NOT use the Oculus Quest headset outside during times where it is extremely sunny or weather is poor. Do not use it outside in the rain, storms, or in very windy conditions. These types of damages are of fault to the owner of the Oculus Quest and as such is not covered by Oculus Warranty. Please play indoors or when it is getting dark.

To get software updates and more/new games on the Quest, do you just download it all via wifi? Or, do you have to connect the headset to your computer? Are there any games that are free, or do they all require a purchase to be downloaded? Are there any games (old or new) from Sony's Playstation, Microsoft's Xbox, or Nintendo, that you can play on the Quest or the Rift S? Are there any plans to implement this? Or, are Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo developing their own VR consoles? When will those be released to the public? Is a new/upgraded Quest console going to be released to the public anytime soon?
