I'll get straight to the points.
The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.
*The Good*
Excellent visuals. The graphics are awesome and the VR is so cool. The MR (Mixed Reality) is really cool too. With mixed reality you can setup a DnD table overtop of your own table.
Large library of Games and Apps. Everything from Classic zombie games in full VR to MR and Zen apps to chill and relax you. Even have Duck hunt VR. Yes, someone made duck hunt in VR.
The sound and video quality are really good good. Watching movies, anime and TV shows is really fun. It's like being in a theater without the sticky floors and the "aww snap! Nuh uh and oh hell naw!" Lol.
Easy to setup and use. Easy to change the head strap if you want a comfier or cushion type one.
Adding a compatible battery power bank is easy and suggested.
*The bad*
Quick battery drain. This is my only real issue. The battery drains pretty quick and even faster when using MR.
But that can be offset by using a compatible battery power bank or a 20ft USB C cable.
*The Ugly*
I can't say much here. The price for many is pricey ands if you want to play games with your family, they each have to have their own head set. That can get very expensive.
Unlike a console, you can't plug in a second controller and just go. Only you can see what's on your screen. This is definitely more of a solo system or making online friends type system. But if you can afford it, I suggest getting two for a family.
*Bonus - The Awesome*
Emulation ????
Installing Retro Arch is easy and with 512GBs of room, you can install lots of classic games and play them. I know you can do that on a PC or buy a retro pie, but it looks so cool right on front of you and looking like it's a movie screen.
With the help of SideQuest, you can install CX file explorer and then Retro Arch and copy your classic games from you PC to the Quest.
And lastly for anyone asking or maybe those who don't have the extra cash after putting out the funds for this device.
I can't recommend pirating, but a quick Google search for Meta and the opposite of mother can help you with that problem.
