45 Comments on “[Video] Okay Mark… the Quest 2 is a GREAT value…”
A couple updates since we filmed this: – Oculus has released the 90Hz update for the Quest 2 – Oculus Link is now out of beta, and also supports 90Hz on the Quest 2 – You can also now cast directly to a web browser
Absolutely do not buy an Oculus. If facebook decide for any reason to ban you, and it happens often for no reason at all, you cannot use the VR and you lose your purchases. They're a scumbag company.
The strap destroyed Linus's brows. The original strap is terrible, it gets painful after 30 minutes wearing it. Get a third party halo strap. The elite strap is breaking according to most users.
Tbh not comfortable with the privacy implications ; Although if I were say, Linus who has absolutely no hope for Anonymous actions online, I wouldn't care.
So, would this be an upgrade, sidegrade, or downgrade from the original Oculus Rift? On the one hand, this has standalone and sharper screen, on the other the original had better controllers, better headphones, and an oled screen. All of this is from a quick search.
I'll get something from Facebook the day I can easily rip their greedy fingers from every firmware, driver and software in said product without investing an year of work into it. Until then, hard pass.
i dont have a facelogger.exe account and even if i got it for free i wouldn't use it because i have to login with what is basically a irl keylogger.exe
So Apple is hot garbage (M1 is actually pretty good, but No sponsorship $$), but Quest 2 is great (The facebook account requirement and Bans makes this a non starter, but sponsorship $$). Linus is officially a sellout. Good job!
Facebook disabled my account for no apparent reason and they won't comply to EU GDPR laws. I won't buy this hardware because I'm not even allowed to use it. A friend of mine is kinda locked out of his oculus games.
so i will wait for hackers to find a way to turn off needing to have your facebooks "credit score" in good standing to buy something that tracks my body language
You cannot buy it in Germany because Facebook is in a legal battle with the Bundeskartelamt, because of "The extent to which Facebook collects, merges and uses data in user accounts constitutes an abuse of a dominant position."
I like to use my VR in "pc mode" playing games like Assetto Corsa and Flight Sims, but i'm supprised how manny game developers dont get that some people would like to use it that way instead of standing and running accross the room.

It’s not illegal to make a fake Facebook account btw.
It is an interesting VR headset but because of shitty facebook I won`t buy it. I don`t need Zuckerbergs cameras and microphones in my room.
When you say that it's $100 less than its predecessor, then say what its price was.
Except fuck that Facebook account crap. Would not want it for free.
Come on Mark, don't be stingy.
“It’s a hundred dollars!”
😱😍
“Cheaper!”
😶😑
No mention of the limited IPD adjustment

Would be a nice Headset if u could buy it in germany
jesus this is so shit device xd
Can you guys test wireless PCVR with virtual desktop? I have a Rift S and that feature is the thing that makes me want to buy a Quest 2.

Not even VR will get me to use facebook. Nobody should use facebook, for any reason.
If it didn't squeeze my temples this is almost a complete pc replacement that uses almost 0 electric and gives you 3 browsing projection screens.
Mate im getting dizzy of all that unneccesarry hand movement in the first 5 mins
returned my quest, record far too much of your data
Will you be able to play Pavlov or other steam titles on this?

Mark watching everything I do in and outside of VR? No thanks

Enjoy the dislike ratio

Mmm using tech licend background
Your Face has Mark at the end …………. after how many hours it appeared? just curious ….

For those who complain about FB login, can't we just create a specific FB account for the purpose of Oculus ?
If love to see a video on the new HP reverb g2 VR headset. It’s so revolutionary so I can’t believe that Linus hasn’t made a video yet…

2:25 Oh it definitely lives up to it, and does actually better than most PCVR headsets, but use Virtual Desktop, fully wireless PCVR
2:15 Nope, doesn't have any latency at all, 20-30ms is not noticeable at all, sometimes Link is 40ms
1:35 Again, not tethered, you can play Oculus and SteamVR games fully wirelessly via Virtual Desktop
1:25 Or also SteamVR, or you can go fully wireless PCVR with Virtual Desktop
will there be an M1 MacBook review ?
Linus looks like he’s never played a sport
so i will wait for hackers to find a way to turn off needing to have your facebooks "credit score" in good standing to buy something that tracks my body language
Screw facebook.
good old facebook, ruining everything it touches, no matter how good it was before they got their hands on it
social distancing even in VR world

Riley says “you’re free Linus” but are you really tho? When you have to login with Facebook and the account has to be in good standing. I think not!
At least this isn't like the Node video
even better news, it has already successfully been jailbroken 😀 Good, Cheap VR without Facebook!
