By the time they can do that I expect the 2580Ti will be on the market lol

I've got no interest in standalone VR tbh. One of the big points of standalone VR is that it's portable but there's no way in hell that I'm bringing an expensive electronic device outside my door in Tottenham, it wouldn't last 5 minutes lol

It's high-end PC VR for me all the way.

In the future it would be cool if we could buy the latest and greatest stand alone hmd and as an option either hook a hdmi cable to it to our pc or better yet a wireless dongle and get the best of both worlds.
Not exactly like but a little bit like the logic of the switch

1 on the Ready Player One reference. Hopefully this will start a chain of development with other companies like HTC etc. By 3rd Gen VR things will definitely start getting interesting.

The Quest does look to be a good little bit of kit. But ultimately it will thrive or sort of survive depending on the social integrations facebook/oculus integrate into it.
And lets be honest they don't seem to be that keen on the idea. For example the Facebook app on the Rift...….…. its crap at best. The few social apps on the Oculus store are weak in content and don't have more than a handful of users at best.
The weakest part of the Oculus VR system is the core of Facebook. Social interaction!

I must admit I am surprised Facebook have not pushed that more .I don't care. Social interaction in vr is not my thing..... But I am surprised.

The major VR players are full of dumb mistakes.
HTC Vive Pro - over priced
M$ naming their headsets as mixed reality, confusing consumers.
Facebook owning a market leading brand and not implementing a social aspect.

Oh well

Sorry for the blatant ignorance but how do you play it if it doesn't require a PC?
