And here in Indonesia I was selling my used Quest for around 30 dollars cheaper than new.. And Noone bought it :/
Wow, what a difference between usa and indonesia markets.
In the US, people just can't stop giving Facebook things like their money and personal data.
yeah. in indonesia we give our data to Instagram and WhatsApp instead!
ugh Facebooj really need to be split up
Put it on the u.s ebay
i decided to keep it, i also bough 2meters USB C to USB A 3.1 cable
i;ll surely make a "headrest" mod for the Quest so it will feel like PSVR.
unfortunately i cant disassemble the screen, so i cant add a diffuser (matte screen protector) to reduce the SDE.
haha finally managed to get full body tracking on Oculus Quest

Question for people that own the Quest. I've read that the battery life on it is fairly short.
Can you use it while it's plugged in? Does it charge or at least not drain the battery if you do this?
If you can, will it charge or at least maintain battery if you attach a battery pack to it?

Yes you can plug it in and use it. Using the standard cable and standard charger, it will charge slowly if you also using it.
If you use battery pack, make sure it supports USB PD charging at 15 watt. Otherwise the charge rate wont be able to catch up with the drain.
If you use oculus Link, also make sure the USB port on PC able to push enough power.
There was some interesting battery back+strap replacements at ces shown for quest. One of them got a lot of praise for making quest much more balanced/stable and not being front heavy anymore.
Once the dust settles I will be getting something as quest is painfully front heavy out of the box. Not comfortable to wear as is.

For, me the biggest reasons for the Quest over the Rift S is physical IPD adjustment. The Quest has it, the Rift S doesn't. I have no idea why they left it off of the Rift S as the Rift S and the Quest are so similar.
Second reason would be to use it untethered. Not so much for gaming, but for watching movies on an airplane. But that exposes a flaw with the Quest. No expandable storage support via memory cards. I'm absolutely boggled by that considering it's primarily a stand alone device.
The short battery life is certainly a concern, but using it with a battery pack should be OK.
If the HP Reverb had physical IPD adjustment I likely would have gotten that. Unfortunately, they left it off of a device designed primarily for the professional market. I have no idea why they skimped on that considering its design focus.

- I never though Quest would be this uncomfortable. I stupidly believe Oculus would have tons of experience making VR headsets, so they wont make this kind of mistake
- I though the high-res OLED, as high-res as Samsung Odyssey+, will have good enough SDE (nope, SDE in quest is more visible than samsung odyssey+, heck... its more visible than PSVR)
- I though the FOV will be about as big as PSVR. Nope, its was waaay narrower
- I though God rays were no longer an issue as samsung Odyssey+ also use fresnel lenses. Nopenopenope. God rays is very bad in Quest
Because it also works in standalone mode without wires. Working with pc via usb cable is just a bonus. It's a standalone portable console + pc solution all in one. Also the physical IPD adjustment is a big deal for me.
