Quest 2 is fine for now, and as it has sold over 20 million units, developers aren't gonna stop support anytime soon. Meta will continue selling it as the cheaper option (quest lite rumors might change that though but what it is, is yet to be seen). I'll wait for a quest 4 until passthrough gets REALLY good. Until then my quest 2 will carry me along for a few more years.

Twelve HUNDRED dollars for a vacuum?!?

[OwlSkyGuy]

I got a quest 2 for Christmas and I absolutely love it. I won’t be updating to quest 3 anytime soon.

[RiftTraveller]

I agree except for a new VR user, I would recommend Q3. I've found that new VR users don't understand the lens sweet spot and Q3 is so much better in that category.

[OneTwoMark]

THE most important feature to me which for some reason VR reviewers never touch upon is FOV. Ask yourself what is the point of VR? Its to immerse yourself. And what better way to immerse yourself is there than to take up your whole field of vision? Rather than feel like youre looking through goggles. Its really a no brainer yet its often ignored. So if this headset does not improve field of view, then its not worth an upgrade from the Quest 2.

[zachansen]

I have both and the quest 3 is a huge step up in comfort and the cameras are a huge upgrade for someone who needs to see their mouse/keyboard frequently while "flying"

[edgartorres]

Thanks for your video, needed more info before getting it for my boy and you have explained very well.

[mrpickles]

Heart immediately dropped at 4:52 haha. "This guy is gonna smash his tv!" That was my quest xp kicking in there. 😅😂😅😂

[peremillet]

Very nice and useful video, you should have a lot more subscribers! Congratulations and keep the good work!

I like my Meta 2 but I might get into a Meta 3 down the road. I had the chance to compare my Meta 2 (89° FOV) to Valve Index (108° FOV) and the 19° increase in FOV makes it that much cooler. For me, immersion is more important than resolution and framerate. Meta 3 got a bump to 110° FOV.

Great review 👏 hit all the points I wanted to know about without bogging me down. Keep on being awesome 👌

[CosmicVent]

the tracking rings being gone is gonna be painful xD, those things saved my thumbs from hitting surfaces more times than I can count

[MadMenProduction]

What was that piano game? My keyboard has been collecting dust and that looks like a great game to get back into it.

I mean, The Quest 2 should be able to handle Quest 3 exclusive games if they're also released to PC, as the GPU of the PC would be doing most of the processing, and as long as you have good wifi and/or a good cable for streaming to the Quest 2, then buying a Quest 3 immediately is nothing to worry about (besides, Augmented Reality takes up a LOT of battery power on the Quest 3(90 minutes of AR playtime)
The Quest 2 is also still getting updates for optimization despite the Quest 3's release, and has longer battery playtime than the Quest 3, (Q2: 2.5 - 3 hours, Q3: 2.2 hours playtime comparison)

[Rasputin]

Tell you the main advantage of the Quest 2 over the Quest 3 is the price! Quest 2 in the UK is £199 and the 3 is not worth the difference.

[JujuInFlames]

Me and sone friends have a quest 2 and tryna get more friends to get them so we can play together so I really hope the 2 is supported long enough with new releases. i find a lot of the games in the store look underwhelming so it would suck if when they finally release stuff i want it ends up on the quest 3

[shockracer]

I wish they would say why First Encounters keeps disappearing from the store?

[jessesanders]

Thanks sir. Do you have any thoughts about the Google chromecast capabilities? I noticed on the quest 2 it is not as reliable.

[williamreece]

I'm buying the quest 2 gamestop has a black Friday deal where you get it new for 250 with a 50$ meta store gift card, I'll get the 3 at taxes plus I hear the quest 2 has way better battery
