I just bought the Quest 3 and my daughter owns the Quest 2 but I also had a Quest 2 myself for years. If your wondering which to get I'll just say go with the 2 for now. It's super cheap right now and really at the end of the day the differences aren't that great. The thing I cares about is the graphics leap of the 3 and as of now that leap isn't big enough to justify the price tag. Maybe that will change a year down the road but today it's not. Also the color passthrough is nice but unless your lighting is just right it's very grainy. Mixed reality is really cool but it feels sort of like a gimmick to me. I did find motion sickness is lower on the three for me although I do have my VR legs. Visually speaking the lenses on the 3 are the biggest reason to upgrade also the bump in resolution but to be honest once your in game it's something you forget about. At the end of the day I feel like the 2 being only $250.00 is just such a bargain especially considering the VR library available. In truth the biggest problem with VR is having a great game come out, playing it for a while and then the quest collecting dust until the next game. Money to value the quest 2 wins for me hands down.

[@SeanLumly]

I would purchase a Quest 3 IF: 1) I could install what I want, when I want without having to go through the store or jumping through hoops 2) It had a larger support/focus on non-gaming applications (see point 1). I think I'm just going to wait for Valve to make a move, or a critical-mass of must-have titles on the platform. Until then, I'm holding off. And based on the reported reduction in shipments, I'm not alone.

Your first point is possibly the dumbest thing I have read in a while. What the fuck 3rd option for installing games are you talking about? Literally any option that isn't through the store is going to defacto require jumping through hoops. What kind of nonsense are you spewing? And for the record, the Quest 3 does allow you to install whatever you want. Some people even pirate games by downloading the APKs and installing them manually. You are literally clueless with how technology works.

[@gobo2093]

A fantastic and well thought out video/overview. I love how you not automatically push everyone towards the new and better but instead list pros and cons for each. Well done! I got the Quest 2 as soon as it was available (upgraded from a Rift CV1) and loved it, both for its standalone capabilities and for wirelessly connecting to my PC (nothing is quite like flight simulators in VR). Unfortunately I lost it in a fire back in March and have contemplated buying a new one but never really gotten as far as actually doing so... And then the Meta Connect revealed the Quest 3 and I instantly prepurchased it. Hopefully it'll arrive soon as I know it will be a perfect fit for me. Also looking forward to PianoVision. ^_^

Definitely try population one: not everybody loves it, but plenty do, and it's free. Besides Team Beef's VR conversions, it's *the* VR experience/game that I keep coming back to (and I have quite a few games ...). Obviously try PCVR, too, if you can ... my personal experience was that virtual desktop works much better for me than the native airlink solution, even with a USB3 C cable, so bear that in mind: different people have different experiences, and that topic has been discussed to death all over the internet, and note that quite a bit of 'tinkering' can be required for some people, which can be tedious (that's true of most 2d games nowadays anyway? pages of graphics settings, card configuration, Windows system settings etc. and this adds another layer on top). You also need a more powerful PC for this than 2-d games, particularly graphics card. Enjoy!

I’m excited for you! VR is seriously amazing. I 100% believe It’s the future of gaming. Especially once more developers double down on making big awesome, full game sized experiences like RE7, REVillage, Skyrim etc. It’s so mind boggling the very first time you experience it. Like turning your head around in game and actually seeing the world around you. Lol first time I played it was so immersive even with the limited tech that I went to lean on a table in game and almost fell over. Laughed so hard. Couldn’t believe I even did that without thinking 😂 Can’t even begin to imagine 10-15 more years from now 😌

[@Dynomite98]

I'm never a day one buyer, but ill probably upgrade to the Q3.I think its biggest pluses are the lenses and pass thru. Just from an everyday use I think it makes a big difference. My biggest disappointment with the Q3 is not having a 256gb model. Memory is so cheap now, I'm having a hard time paying an extra $100 for less space than the top Q2. Then the 512 is almost double in price and I'm really not sold on idea that potential AAA standalone titles are going to be bigger that say 50 to 60gb. I think 20gb will be a stretch for 99% of newer titles.

[@Subremedy]

Really though, my favorite game on the quest 2 is 2.5GB LOL

[@Subremedy]

I kind of already know the experience or AR/MR with the 3DS which really kickstarted more of the interest in the technology. What they need to create now is how you can visit someone elses MR anywhere in the world with just a few sensors and cameras. I believe this will be where we are headed with a Quest 4

[@FromDesertTown]

Now that we've been using Quest 3 for a while, have you found much use for AR/MR on this headset? I haven't. Hopefully Quest 4 (or Quest Pro 2) will use MUCH better passthrough cameras. Looking forward to when we won't need passthrough cameras at all.

[@Beam3178]

The first thing i said when i put on my new quest 2 a year and a half ago was "why is everything so blurry?" I chalk it to frenel lenses with tiny sweet spot and the limited ipd adjustment settings. As a result, i don't find myself picking up my quest 2 very often. From that perspective, the quest 3 seems like a no-brainer

[@SirSethery]

Someone without a lot of money and some interest in VR can often grab a 64GB Quest 2 for under $150 used, often with some extra accessories. 64GB is pretty limiting, but as long as you’re fine with only having a few games on the headset at a time, it’s perfectly manageable.

Currently only have a PSVR. With Quest 3 coming out, I imagine there will be a number of Quest 2s for sale on the secondhand market for a very attractive price point (256gb models in stores are still around $450-$500 plus 15% sales tax), so I'll be getting a Quest 2 instead (already have prescription lenses and a bobo m2 strap from when I temporarily had a headset from my old job). Will wait until Spring and, if I get an income tax refund, will grab either a quest 3 or psvr2, depending on which would be better for me at that time.

Why arent they supporting display port. Most pc graphics cards dont have a usb c port

[@SjaakSchulteis]

You said it right! I agree to the fullest. Besides, I think that the fabric strap of the Quest3, though not the most comfortable and the smaller controllers, make it a compact set. If you want to bring it along on your holiday, it is less cumbersome than the Quest2. I love the thought of color passthrough in 3D. In quality it might even be better than that of my Pico4. I use the passthrough where it is possible: fitness games, just simply walking with my headset to where I play, watching movies or being in the home environment. And since I have been putting some extra money away since I heard about it last year, it is an easy purchase for me and I'll be buying the 512 gb version (my Quest2 has 64gb only).

[@jon_west]

Anybody know the zombie game at 4:04?

[@ElitePWNSFace]

As someone who will only be playing with PC passthrough, is it worth upgrading to a quest 3? I wont ever play quest on the native hardware. Virtual Desktop is just to amazing.

[@Latinkuro]

Any VR headset that uses fresnel lenses past the 1st generation is a big no no. I first tried VR on the Lenovo mixed reality, the tech was interesting but the lenses were garbage. I didn't bother with any fresnel VR since. The quest 3, is in my opinion, the first headset that is a definite buy, it's what I would call a 3rd gen device with actual good quality pancake lenses. The 128GB version shouldn't even be offered, it should've started with 256 and 512, with a potential 1TB upgrade in the future. Games keep getting bigger, and especially for the Quest3 even older games are bigger. Asgard Wrath will be a whopping 40GB already, 128GB total storage is pathetic and unacceptable.

[@mateuszfelisiak480]

This is exactly the kind of video I asked for! Great job, thank you Ben :D Im a Quest 2 user with a decent PCVR ready rig, so I will probably take my time with a decision. Last 2 years with Q2 only taught me, that my interest in VR gaming has its highs and lows, and in heights I could play for max 2.5h a day (charging the headset once midway) and in lows I wouldnt touch it at all or for very short sessions for as long as 2-3 months (central-eastern Europe here, hate the climate change, boiling me in my AC-less flat through the summer). In other words, I spent 400$ on something that I use kinda rarely + I bought a lot of accessories to make it as comfortable as it gets. Im not saying I havent got my money's worth, but it's mainly because I havent got any headset before, so obviously going from none headset to cool versatile headset for such a price is a nice upgrade. Next 6 months will be critical I guess. There are new games coming, but nothing really that exciting and revolutionary. Pancake lenses are the biggest thing for me, because they will improve the experience overall. Im waiting to see if mixed reality gets something interesting or at least something interesting gets announced. And as we have seen from Quest Pro, Meta doesnt hesitate to drop a price a bit if the sales arent going as great as they would like, so it depends on how many people get lured by vision of the upgrade. On the other hand, it's good that Quest 2 stands viable for the coming years, because for me it means I can take my share of second-hand market and probably sell my Quest 2 + accessories locally for something between 150-200€, which I can reinvest into Quest 3, basically making it a price of Quest 2 back in the day. Im just waiting for the sweet spot - Quest 2 doesnt get cut on updates yet, but something exciting is coming to VR and I need a Quest 3 to run it (or I get ulitmately irritated with how awful those rings on Q2 lenses are, try a Quest 3 somewhere myself and decide that I cant go back :D )

Stick with my Quest 2, I’ll invest in a Quest 3 if AAA games release more frequently. Although indie is great, a lot feel the samey samey. I feel like after release of the headset, games will slow down again.

I honestly would’ve stuck with my quest 2 for another year. But unfortunately it stopped working, so I just preordered a quest 3.

[@MrKlawUK]

are you guys getting early units to have reviews out around launch, or having to wait for launch to get hold of them yourselves?

[@bluebell1]

Great video BB! I’m waiting for mine!

[@vidarCRC]

I just want it to ship so I'm confident it arrives when it says on the Amazon page. International shipping in just 1 day? I'm skeptical but hopeful...crossing fingers.

will the quest 3 be better than quest pro?

I love your channel, but can't agree with this one, mate. First timers will gain tremendously from the Lenses alone!(of the Q3) Being able to looking around with your eyes balls (and not your neck to make sure your in the center sweet spot of rhe Q2) is Game changing, IMO. I hold presentations in VR using the old Q2s and the #1 thing I have to tell people after setting them up is "now, use your Head to look around. Not your eyes"(which I believe has a lot to do with neck fatigue in the long run for daily users) Love ya man, but I think you may have missed that point.

I'm looking forward to seeing if M.R. games are any problem for people who get motion sickness.

This was an amazing video. Super informative, definitely will help a lot of people! I as a vr enthusiast upgraded but I do think first-timers, those with a tight budget, and kids should definitely go for the two! It’s a safer and incredible reliable option

I lost everything in a terrible flood a few months ago. I feel your pain 😟

[@alanbarker2279]

I mainly play PCVR games, including Beat Saber, Half-Life 2, HL Alyx and mods, Skyrim with Wabbajack modlists, FO4 with Wabbajack FEVR, and Portal VR mod to name but a few. Sometimes play Beat Saber standalone, Dr Beef standalone mods and a few other Meta games, but am mainly a PCVR user so without upgrading my gaming rig not much point in upgrading the headset at the moment... Have little or no interest in the Metaverse or mixed reality games and am still intrigued as to what Steam are going to release in the future (if anything 😉)

If you have the newest generation of NVIDIA or AMD cards you would get AV1 encoding which is a big deal but it's a lot more pixels to push as well. Running a Quest 2 at 1:1 resolution requires running it at 1.7x (5400x2700) and that number skyrockets to like 7000x3500 with Quest 3. Need some beefy GPU and likely some upscaling trickery to fully push the display for sure.

@@Thezuule1 Get good results with my RTX 3070 but having only 8 Gb of video ram is the real struggle. As I said I'll be happy staying as I am for at least a year and even then my computer will be getting the upgrades before my headset.

[@geoffowen7627]

I was pretty much resolute in staying on the Q2, I have no interest in AR/MR, I caved though, pre-ordered as I'm curious about - a) the new controllers. b) how Devs will use the extra power for vr games/experiences. c) Pancake lenses I love the quest 2, and to be honest I don't mind the lower graphics as long as the gameplay is great, the clincher for me is the lenses though most definitely, My main worry is I fear on release things will be buggy for a while, well time will tell. Let's hope they don't block mods or side quest titles, on the q3, that would really, really piddle me off.

Ordered mine today the 512g version it gets here on the 10th. I cannot wait!!

[@FunLion]

Is Valve still working on their next headset or have they given up?

[@chriscowey7464]

To be fair I never bought the Quest 2 for standalone, I bought it for PCVR, I assume that people who bought the Quest 1 for the same reason, will still be able to use it for that, or are they stopping its use for pcvr?
