Did you use your real name for the facebook account?

Yes. Facebook already have my real name, address, phone, credit card details, etc. from my Oculus account so what's the point in using a fake name. I have set the account to mostly private though.

The only person I've friended is my daughter who is at Uni, and then only as a 'token' friend so the algorithm is (hopefully!) less likely to ban me.

I'd say the battery strap is worth it. Makes the headset heavier, but the counterweight effect makes it more comfortable.

Has anyone had the battery strap turn up?

Yep, both my Quest 2 and battery strap turned up today. The battery strap is a really nice piece of kit, feels solid and well made, and the counterweight definitely helps.

FYI - Quest and Quest 2 are the same size lenses, so prescriptions lenses are cross compatible between the two headsets.

I can confirm this as I'm using my original Quest lenses. I also have some Go lenses which I might try, as they actually have a fixed IPD which might work better on the Quest 2's middle IPD setting.

Just tried the demo of space pirate trainer, seems pretty fun, anything else a good starter game?

Superhot
Vader Immortal
Beat Saber
Pistol Whip
Red Matter

My favourite Quest game right now is In Death: Unchained, but I'd say it's not really a starter game.

Yes you can, no real downside to using it that way vs the cable.

Actually not all games work via Virtual Desktop - Stormlands doesn't work properly for example. Also not everyone can get a decent enough wifi connection. I can't get one good enough in my lounge (it's good enough for normal video streaming and web browsing, but too jittery for wireless VR).

I see the gaming press are finally beginning to cover the Facebook account ban issue with Quest2 (It's not like people haven't been warning them this would be an problem due to the way Facebook accounts work).

I really hope this gets some traction and causes Facebook to act as it's unacceptable to be locked out of a device and software that costs hundreds of pounds due to bot derection algorithms going bonkers, or for minor technical breaches of the TOS without any recourse to appeal due to terrible customer service.
