I want one of these things but the Facebook requirement scares the shit out of me, desu. What kind of data do you suppose they're actually tracking? Would it be fine if I just signed in with a burner account that I never used on any other device?

That burner accouny would get banned for not using a real name and you'd lose access to all your stuff. Either go all in or stay the fuck out. Or just buy any of the other non spyware VR sets.
who knows, stop being a pussy and get one or get a reverb g2 - gotta use a real fb account or just wait until a full jailbreak rolls out
Goddamn I hate Mark Zuckerberg
me too, but i love vr. i resent having to get a facebook headset but until something else matches the quality and price i'm stuck with them. been buying vr games on steam so i don't get stuck having to use revive or not be able to play quest games when the next gen comes out
If you are going to try and use a burner account you risk getting whatever games you get for it taken and having to make a new account anyways.
Either use a real account or buy a different headset.
Oculus doesn't ship headsets to my country.
How safe would it be to get one from a reseller on eBay?
Are there many faulty units out there?
>he doesn't have a mountain of stolen identities at his disposal
top kek, I love pwning retards with unsecure databases.
as safe as it is buying anything else off ebay i'm sure, probably gonna pay a bit more of course. worst faults have been minor lens smudges/spots and a loud fan but nothing major that i'm aware of besides the elite strap being a cheap piece of shit that has broken on most people myself included
>pwning
Wasn't it cracked already?
yes, allegedly
Who knows. Just hold for the DecaGear 1. Not worth buying something that Facebook can brick at any moment because you said "nigger" in VR Chat once.
they're even bundling a $40 game with it now
you had to be a retard to not buy a facebook quest
Isn't it a pcvr game?
Not exactly the best choice to bundle it with I'd say.
amazons ships it to every fucking where
If it ends up being legit and not a scam at that price i'm on it like a fly on shit.
>Have a Rift Ck1 sitting there for a year
>Find neat little VR game, want to boot it up
>Realize Faceberg purposefully bricked the Ck1 on Windows 7 even though it's been working flawlessly for years before 2020
>Their justification is "We updated minimal requirements, even though it says on the box that it's fully compatible with Windows 7"
>Their support answer is "Just get Windows 10 lol, it has way better data collec- We mean features!"
Keep your money, in a bit it'll be an expensive paperweight.
They aren't available in Germany from what I know, oculus products in general aren't.
There are probably other similar countries.
>Keep your money, in a bit it'll be an expensive paperweight.
for you maybe
Was gonna buy one but I don't use Facebook and not gonna make an account just for this, fake accounts get banned apparently so nothing I can do, fuck those assholes
>for it to work, the device has to constantly use the five cameras to map out your playspace (house)
gee idk user, what kind of data could they get out of that?
>still shilling the g2 after this catastrophic launch
lol
do not ever fall for the WMR meme
lurk moar, tourist.
>lurk moar, tourist.
i didn't thankfully, i'm just aware of how schizo the facebook hmd gets people so mention it to avoid any flare ups
I'm really fucking horny, wanna come over?
sour grapes are sour
sure, post address
i'll bring some mike's hard lemonade
I bought into the WMR meme and while it isn't the worst thing ever considering it only cost me 170 dollars for room-scale proper vr experience, the lack of adjust stable lens for eye distance is so beyond stupid, I think the quest 2 also has a better fov.
at least you didn't pay much, you can only go up from where you're at

I think the quest having internal sensors on the controller itself besides just gyroscope helps too for stability. The other problem I had with WMR is that the controllers can have all sorts of tracking problems because they chose bluetooth over a different type of signal. I get interference patterns all the time since I'm on wifi and it causes my controllers to wiggle unless I'm on specific channel frequencies.
My Index works perfectly on Windows 7 and I use it every day for games, only issue I found was TWD wouldn't run, because facebooks software is win10 only, that's what the devs said anyway
Look at this retard and laugh knowing you'll never be as lacking in self awareness as them.
That sounds fucking awful, at least you know anything else will be an improvement when you eventually upgrade.
