The "new" 128Gb Quest 2 is a welcome increase in storage space over the prior 64Gb model, as the OS eats up a fair bit of space on that storage. Fortunately the apps and games are mostly small in install size.

I love it. I have spent countless hours playing on it, I really recommend it to people who are interested in VR but dont want to yet commit to a more expensive headset, or have a beefy enough computer for an expensive headset in general. If the internal battery for your Meta Quest 2 is charged but the Elite strap battery is still charging, the status indicators will show that the devices are charging. Wireless connection to a computer will require a modern gaming PC with a recent NVIDIA or AMD graphics card, a hardwired connection to the Internet, and a dedicated Wifi 6 router or hotspot for the headset to work without too much frame loss.

It definitely makes Quest 2 a much more expensive proposition overall, so you might want to buy the headset first and see what mileage you get out of it but, if you’re already committed to standalone VR gaming, the Oculus Quest 2 Elite Battery Strap is a great add-on. Point being that, if comfort is your primary concern, you might see better and cheaper alternatives in the future. I still say that halo strap designs — seen on the PSVR and Rift S — are the most comfortable VR designs, placing weight on your forehead rather than your face. None of Facebook’s comfort options do this and I’ll be first-in-line to try out any mods that do.

Play for longer with a built-in second battery that delivers up to double the play time* between charges.

Maximize comfort with a balancing design that uses the weight of the battery to lift your headset away from your face. This is a good VR headset for those not wanting to invest huge amounts of money to get into VR. The Quest 2 is a stand alone headset, so if you don't have a powerful gaming computer, this will allow you to get started in VR without that sort of investment. For a standalone VR headset (with ability to connect to a gaming PC for PCVR), it does a fantastic job at bringing you this experience. However, the requirement for Facebook is a sour note to using it as it is tied to your real life social media account. You can make a alias for it though so other gamers don't see your real name.. but still, the writing is on the wall that this is for personal data collection while you use it. Take that for what it's worth, as the low cost is clearly subsidized from Facebook's personal data collection as the unit is sold at a loss otherwise. Included strap is very basic. It may be ok for short sessions, but for longer sessions you will probably want an upgraded strap, as the included one will become uncomfortable after awhile
