I’d suggest yes. There’s no obligation to sell so no downside to locking in the price.

Ive never sold through CEX before - should i lock in A grade or B grade? Id say mine is definitely A, but for the sake of £16 is it safer to do B?

Zeeflyboy · 14 Sep 2020 at 17:49

That I’m not sure I’m afraid. I just did mine at £276 and no issues.

When you drop it at the shop do they inspect it and pay you immediately or do they have to send it off to be inspected at a remote location?

If it's £299, I'll bite.

Zeeflyboy · 14 Sep 2020 at 17:57

@danlightbulb I dropped it off, they didn’t inspect it infront of me but I got an email confirming it had been submitted for payment about 20 minutes later so obviously they confirm it in the store.

@Zeeflyboy thanks.

Do you just do a factory reset before selling and it removes everything from the device?

And now I've got to sell my Quest with a crack in the touch controller, cheers Facebook.

then say its an A grade. if they don't agree they'll call you and explain why they think its a B grade, you can always abort the sale. Note if they wish to vary the agreed price by £5 or less then they can proceed without your consent.

Oculus have conquered the low-end game. I just hope they're still invested in PCVR after lone echo and medal of honor drop.

danlightbulb · 14 Sep 2020 at 18:30

Well Ive locked in my CEX price so await the announcement now, have until Thursday to take it in. I think £299 is optimistic though.

Up to 120hz has been rumoured, but likely to be 90hz. Lenses are alleged to have a wider FOV, and three IPD settings.

If Oculus Link peforms better on this device it could be a good Rift S replacement. However PC headsets like the G2 or even the Index may have a sharper image than Quest 2 when linked to PC, as the feed isn't compressed. However the reduction in SDE over the original Quest and the Rift S could be huge.

So i should probably sell my Rift S asap? Still in box unopened

You want to get your orders/pre-orders in the second they go on sale. I remember what the quest 1 was like.
Selling for silly money on ebay from those who buy loads to cash in.

The 128gb versions were less popular and easier to get hold of. The 256b Rift 2 would probably be same.

I couldn't find one of those either, although I only looked in the usual places (currys, argos, amazon, very). I'm sure both models were out of stock for months.

If the 256gb is indeed another £100, I'd probably be tempted to go for the 128gb.

Does anyone know if you can play your own 3D bluray rips? I know I'd buy it for movies, but end up playing games on it

beat sabre, table tennis and robo recall look like great fun.

Yes you can. You can also use Amazon Prime and Youtube on the device, and Big Screen run paid showings of 3D movies.
