I added the rubber skullcap attachment I used on my q2, to the back of my 3, with some foam wrapped around it. With a powerbank hanging off the back, it's pretty comfortable. I suspect a 3rd party might be able to improve it further, but not by enough that it's going to bother me, once I'm playing I don't notice it too much. I will say, a new facial interface would be nice.
You need to sign up to their credit, but you can buy it there and then outright regardless.
Just had a hand controller update, and an app message stating that if I sign up to quest emails I get 20% off my next game purchase.
20%? Seems a bit stingy seeing as you can just ask for a 25% off referral for most games.
They can be shared. I would recommend creating an account for your son, or wife etc. Add them to the q2 as a secondary account, and enable App Sharing on the main account. You can use the q3 with your main account too.
If you want to take advantage of the £23 free referral credit, you will need to disconnect your q2 from your meta account (doable through the phone app I believe). And then use the referral when activating the q3. Fairly sure that's the order of events to get it to work.
Passthrough for me is normally good enough to use my phone to see messages. Once you're playing a game in passthrough though, your focus is on the game, not the surroundings, so it's more than immersive enough (at least in my opinion).
The latest update has moved the off button, it's now sleep, and you have to go to further options to turn off.
Agreed.
Yeah, it's why I tend to not do that, I prefer going through the selection.
There's things you can do to help yourself. No vehicle Sims for one.
Have some ginger, fan blowing on you to keep cool, snap turning, teleport or slow moving. Swing your arms and walk your feet when moving.
Key point is stop if you start to feel nauseous. Give it time before you come back.

Good deal on Q3 for £400 by buying House of Fraiser e-vouchers (2x£250) which are 20% off and have £20 left in HoF credit
Very nice trick.
In good light I can read phone messages. It's not crystal clear, but definitely good enough. Not sure you could read a watch face, would depend on the size of the face I guess.
Or get a refund, and order a new one from Amazon etc.
My q3 has lasted about as long in simple standalone games as my q2 did. Though now I basically only ever play with it plugged into a powerbank, it acts as a counterweight as well as extra power.
You should just measure your ipd, and set it to that.
Wait for a sale, it'll drop to around £16.
It really does help you realise what is doable, with things interacting with furniture etc. You also realise that you don't pay that much attention to the surroundings as opposed to the game.
Reading your phone will depend on lighting, and also the brightness setting on your phone.
For me messages are readable, but I'm not going to try reading and writing emails.
But again, when you're playing in passthrough, your focus is never really on your surroundings.

You can already use it to automatically scan your area if you want for a playspace, but at the same time I still want to be able to setup my own playspace since I don't always want to use the full area.
Depends on your finances really. It is significantly better, but the 2 is still a solid device.
My usual advice is buy a second hand q2, preferably with upgraded headstrap, for around £150-170, see if you enjoy vr. If the q2 is enough, great, if not you can sell it for little loss, and get the 3.
