*** VR Deals Thread ***

[Epoch]

I am no good at making decisions, so I will probably end up postponing making a choice and just play another round of Pistol Whip or Beat Saber

Probably best off waiting until December 22 when steam winter sale is on anyway. Although I remember right if they're on daily deal now they wont go any cheaper in the winter sale, can anyone else remember if thats true?

Quoting from another thread, Squadrons for £10.99 (after you apply the £10 coupon EA are giving away).

Head's up just to highlight that this is down to £10.99 on Epic Games Store right now.

Alien Isolation is free today on the Epic Store,

Can be played in VR using the Mother Mod, for anyone brave enough to try it

 

[Ravenger]

Trover Saves the Universe is less than a fiver on the Epic store with the free £10 off voucher you get for claiming a free game.

Cheers. Bought. Would have preferred native quest, but £4.27 too good to miss.

Thank you both, although melmac I may end up hating you if I need to change my underwear.

Also grabbed Trover, bargain for £4.27

Wonder how/if it will work on a Quest.

Rift S seems to be £270 at ***** (with a 10% off voucher). Is it worth it or should I just grab a Quest 2? Which is better for PCVR, the S or Q2 with link cable?

 

[Ravenger]

Rift S is more comfortable, but is lower resolution, and is no longer actively supported. It is however a native PC headset so less faffing about than a Quest 2 which requires an additional USB cable (which can be expensive) and an add-on headstrap.

Personally though I'd go for the Quest 2 simply because going forward that's where all the support is going, plus it's also a standalone device with a higher resolution.

Another thing to consider is Rift S has a fixed IPD but Quest 2 has a partially adjustable IPD.

Thanks, I'll probably just do that. Seems the more flexible solution.

If you have Oculus, the Climb has popped up with a 34% discount in the winter sale. Was missing for the past couple days from the sale but finally appeared.

 

[Ravenger]

Remember to check the Rift store for crossbuy titles. Quite a few are significantly cheaper from the Rift store than the Quest store.

Still torn on this one. Was just going to hang fire and get The Climb 2. But there's still no news on that title. It's been on the "Coming Soon" list for months.

Took the plunge with Vader immortal bundle. Still waiting on getting the lounge back so i have decent room scale to play in.

How can you tell if its cross buy?

Ah never mind figured it out. Grabbed robo recall and its cross buy, just lists both platforms in the info.

In the Oculus phone app select 'Rift/RiftS', or use the Oculus Desktop app, or the Oculus website.

 

[ShiWarrior]

thanks

launched oculus on desktop, says table tennis is 10.99 , if i bought that would that go on my headset rather than tethered? or both?

 

[Ravenger]

You need to check if the game has 'supports Quest' as well as 'Supports Rift' in the description. If it does then if you buy it on the desktop app you'll be able to buy it for free for Quest on the phone app.
