Just spoken with @Techy111 - and he agrees that as the video(s) are now all over the web, it can go back up:

Index looks the best contrast between blacks and white but then again this is the G2 before they added the additional power and upped the brightness but did this make the blacks worse?

Screen door, clarity and resolution of the G2 looks the best but again until we see the final version who knows. 

If you are looking for an all rounder the Quest 2 may not be the best out of the three but that's pretty damned good considering the index kit is 1000 bucks and how much is packed into the unit.

I guess a still is not best judgement of that for PCVR though with the current low hz and compression.

Agreed and to be fair the SDE seems very good with Quest 2 - also shown here:

Personally I have no problems with the SDE using Index, so Quest 2 users will probably love the close to lack of any SDE. We'll see when real user reviews arrive. Also $299 is close to free for what you can play and experience using PCVR. 

Valve Index also has it's own power supply - it does not rely fully on the USB connection if at all. 

These images are fresh from Tyriel - he's probably using his old G2 review sample.

Can never get excited by the "through the lens" camera shots. Have seen good ones and bad ones, and nothing replaces the actual reviewing of the system for ones self. I saw great Pimax images only for the reality of the visor inclusion to be ignored!

I just ordered mine on Amazon - still due on 13th, so plenty of supply. Thanks to my 82 year-old Mum for the gift! 🙂

Nice gift. My mom is 86. She used to travel alot and doesn't want to anymore. I have been bringing over my quest 1 and she loves watching the vr 360 videos especially the travel ones.  Your mom may enjoy that.

I've got a bit of a job on, persuading her - but I am trying! I'm going to wait until I have the Quest 2 before I get her to actually put a VR headset on her head, as it will look so much better and be much more comfy with the elite strap. She can't come to my house any more (she lives in another town) so PCVR is not possible.
She's a technophobe and always has been, won't even touch a smart phone and recently refused a modern non-smart mobile phone from me cos it was "too complicated". She's into nature etc so I'm going to try and get her to watch one of David Attenborough's 360° documentaries on it.

Official launch titles look amazing, fully understandable if people are dying to play them  B) (Note these are indeed official Quest 2 launch titles)

Interesting article about the reality of the pricing of the new hardware:


I would argue that they are not losing any money on this unit. Instead they're making 50$ and over time up to 85$ and still selling the headset for the other key value reasons. I already noted on the differences these changes from Quest 1 to Quest 2 would've cost and the disadvanved they cover and benefit it would provide to the cost. The simple fact they remove the "extras" and double down on the screen it self means I was 100% correct:)

More or less this unit is "cheap" in terms of the bad of removing a bit too much for the sake of price alone for the base unit. We see that in terms of the "extra" now they are selling to the customers with other straps, storage, power, longer cables, and soon to be selling over the ear headphones. Starting to feel like HTC Vive "add ons" all over again:)

Soon we will hear:
"You have to get the battery strap it makes the world of difference on your game time"
"Man, you have to go for the top storage options, these games just keep creeping up in storage usage"
"The included cable is mainly for powering the devices, but getting a longer cable is totally worth it or getting that new wifi 6 router"
"Yea, totally the included speakers are ok. Good in a pinch and need want to share the headset - but you NEED the headphone clips they sell - it makes a difference in how good everything sounds"

In reality - the headset will cost you closer to 600$. Not only that - but be limited to their one option? No option for a computer that could provide more? Just seems like they're going to play the game real hard going forward:) coughapplegame101cough With that said - I dont think they will limit it to one only - I still hearing about a type of "pro" headset (no this isnt their business service) so I do hope it is true, but not holding my breath if everyone just lays down for this type of behavior.
