Whose planning on upgrading from the Q2 to a Q3?

It seems like a lot of incremental upgrades, but it's a LOT of incremental upgrades.

Cost is definitely a lot higher than I like, close to 2x what I paid for my Q2

I enjoy standalone VR way more than anything attached with a cable, it’s just much less friction to start and way more immersive. Lately, my Q2 has been getting more and more frame drops and quite a few games are running really badly (especially Ghosts of Tabor, still alpha ofc). I’m dying to get more performance on this headset, anything else is just bonus.

thats one of the reasons i love Airlink so much, allows the best of both worlds!

I get where you’re coming from, but I see that differently. It brings more friction to set that up, many games don’t even release on PCVR anymore, and even if they do it’s always a bit of a hassle to find graphics settings that work (if you’re not spending a ton of money on recent hardware).

I’ve had a new graphics card on my shopping list for a while. I‘d call myself an enthusiast and I could 100% buy one, but I couldn’t convince myself to do so. I also own a PSVR2, which seemed to me the more friction-less option with some exclusive titles, I haven’t regretted that yet although the cable is indeed annoying.

i defintly prefer to buy my games on steam, allowing PCVR, over the headset itself. But i've always found airlink frictionless. it sets up quickly, and runs well.
