Risft S discontinued next year?

Ive kept both, the rift s is far better and looks better than the quest 2 over link for racing sims, this will probably change with future updates for the quest 2. Still prefer the rift s when sitting down at my sims rig for racing sims.

The quest 2 is excellent over wifi for games like half life alyx, beat saber etc. I know its an expense but they both have their place.

Think i will wait or pass on Oculus and see what comes out in the future. Oculus should have never sold it to facebook. :(

Did you returned it because of having to link your account with Facebook? So you never got to try it out?

No i tried it. I played quite a lot of Elite on it but it kept disconnecting from PC. Head strap was more then useless on me any way it was too tight or too slack and the back of the strap dug in. A lot of glare on screen too. But picture was nice and clear. Its mainly the head strap and the way they went cheap on it to make you buy elite head strap. I no they are making a loss and got to make up on accessories but i would have preferred a finish product at £499 same as the rift s.

Facebook partly the reason but not all. I did factory reset to get rid of my info be for taking it back hehe.

You really can see where they skimped on materials compared to rift s. Some have said that the elite strap broke on them too on some reviews.

Yea, but that should not be the case at all. I paid money on the understanding I wouldn`t be forced onto facebook, and they went back on their word. Once you paid for it without facebook, you should never be forced onto it. They don`t respect me, or the customer, so I won`t show them my respect by using their kit. It should be illegal. I`m surprised that only Germany is fighting this.

The facebook integration is the reason why I still haven't used my rift s, it's brand new.
Was waiting to build a new system to get the most out it, then facebook happened.

Won't be using it unless a required facebook account requirement is dropped.
Probably never happen, and in that case I'll just sell it and get a reverb G2 when available.

The only thing is i have a couple of games in my library on the Oculus but got my fair share on steam too. Will have to restart on steam library and forget the games in oculus library.

Luckily I never bought anything off Oculus and that was way before the FB thing happened. For some reason I chose not to touch it and just bought my VR games off Steam and GOG.

The rift CV1 and Rift s Was the best cheapest VR head set around with good exclusives but they chucked that out of the window with the Oculus quest 2 making it even cheaper but using cheaper material as well.

Who is to really say there wont be a new Rift down the line. Facebook say a lot of things. They wont want to hamper sales of the Quest 2. If there sales are not as expected they will compromise too. You could see a new Rift just spring up in few months giving them the chance to suck another £400 from Quest users.

I will not be buying if they do I'm moving to another brand. They dug there own grave on this one.

I will wait a year or so and see what be coming out. Microsoft might release one yet for windows and the new xbox series x.
