It's going to be interesting. I have no clue what will happen until the reviews stream in. I will pay more attention to the reviews to judge 100% when the oculus quest cable comes out in January. In November only the link app will be out. The community will have to figure what cable works best until then. If I didn't own both headsets and the link review was good and even if the experience wasn't as good but was close I would buy the quest only. Many people who already bought both would have held off if it was announced this was going to happen. I dont blame anyone that feels betrayed by oculus for not anouncing this to begin with. It was a little underhanded of them. But I could understand their thinking. If it was announced would that have greatly reduced the rift s sales? Maybe.

The freak-outs are still going strong today. I am pleasantly surprised to see it being so contained on this forum. Most people have taken their torches to reddit and the Facebook VR Groups. Lots of people getting on each other's Block List, lots of Threads getting deleted, etc. I've just been watching the fireworks and taking screenshots of the topics that make me chuckle.Like this one:So... now everyone wants a "Quest Ready PC"LMAO
I have no idea why people are getting so up-tight when an announcement of a great feature like Oculus Link is made! There are many reasons why PCVR will remain strong, for both Oculus and non-Oculus.
I mean talk of people buying 'Quest Ready laptops' is an example. They must realise, unless I'm missing something, that it's the exact same thing as a Rift Ready laptop. It'll have to do near enough the same work as it would for Rift when including compression needed before sending to Quest (jump in anyone who knows more about this).
And if they want to do that, great. That in itself means more Oculus PCVR games sold and likely developed, which, it seems to me, doesn't add up to less reason to get a Rift.
Well, like I said in another thread, Oculus Link will confuse some people, and give others an excuse to knock the Rift but only time will tell how this whole thing pans out. I just see no negatives at the moment.

I'm just going by the people who have been vocal in this forum, I know a couple posters who've returned their Rift-S because of faults who've been vocal but not many that have been vocal after returning because they just didn't like it.
But there are definitely a lot of people being vocal who didn't buy it. I may be very wrong here (it wouldn't be the first time) but that's how it seems to be going through each post.
