Question for you guys: I have a USB stick that can plug into my Gear VR to play VR videos. Will I be able to do the same on Quest 2? Was the original Quest able to do that?

The way you showed the picture and responded is very misleading. For everyone hoping it will arrive early, it's very unlikely it will arrive before the 13th or if you're lucky maybe the 12th if you live in the US. The only people getting shipments right now are the retailers that need to set up their displays and start advertising. Going through that thread it looks like it's just retailers which means absolutely nothing for those that pre ordered.DavewuPC wrote: ↑ Correct sir, this isn’t mine, I am just telling you guys that the quest 2 should have been shipped to early first batch orders (there was a data sheet somewhere with the shipping info) as well as retailers. Yes, the image is actually linked from that Reddit thread as well.
If you have proof individuals have received their orders that would be awesome though. I ordered right away so I'd love to get this before Thanksgiving weekend.

Why not browse the Quest appstore and decide for yourself?

I've never done it but possible with a sideloaded app:
Lots more options if you copy videos directly to the Quest though.

Well, VR is all about feeling present in the place. The smallest details really drive that home, and something like your VR hands looking and being in exactly the same place is REALLY REALLY important. I do expect upgraded controllers that will work for the Quest 2 eventually.dcipub wrote: ↑ I wouldn't say it did nothing per se but the greater clarity and eliminating all reprojection was more valuable to me.
Individual finger tracking is really really cool, no question, but it's the problem every platform with exclusive features has: if it takes programmer time away from something else, they're not going to bother making use of platform-specific hardware. Even Valve only used it for little extra things in Alyx.
Anyone know how the controllers connect to the headset? Bluetooth would have too much delay, I'm curious if it's custom.
EDIT Answered my own question: YES

If you want to dip your toe in, go try it for an hour at the local VR arcade, the people there can recommend something based on your preference. If you enjoy it, don't go back. Buy a Quest 2 and spend the money on something at home. VR Arcades are really awesome with a friend playing 2 player stuff, coop is amazing in VR.

Anyone get any shipping dates from Oculus, Amazon, or Best Buy yet? I ordered from all three on Sept 16. Nothing had updated for me on the three sites.
Relatedly, does Best Buy usually have some stock in store on the release date for items like this?

Some Canadian Reddit users claim that they have been able to pre-order the Oculus Quest 2 and arrange for in-store pickup on October 13th when the order is placed at a Best Buy brick and mortar location. I tried calling my local Best Buy store to confirm this but was unable to speak to a salesperson.
It appears that some Best Buys are starting to receive some in stock: https://stocktrack.ca/?s=bb&sku=14924016

Thank you for this. I definitely see which is the better location to go in Saskatoon now based on StrockTrack.nickmar wrote: ↑ Some Canadian Reddit users claim that they have been able to pre-order the Oculus Quest 2 and arrange for in-store pickup on October 13th when the order is placed at a Best Buy brick and mortar location.

Starting to see a few oculus.com orders flipping to "Processing for Shipping" over on r/OculusQuest2.

Yeah, I saw that too. I placed an order on oculus.com the minute that the Quest 2 was available for pre-order. I also subsequently placed an order on amazon.ca. I'm debating whether or not to cancel these orders and place an in-person pre-order for in-store pickup at BB.
