Oculus

Throughout the years I kept looking into VR headsets, seeing if the prices would go down and making sure that I would meet the requirements to use it.

I heard that with these you would need at least a decent smartphone and either a computer or or gaming system such as a Play Station 5.  While I do have a computer, it is not VR ready.

I kept hearing about the Oculus and kept researching it.  Eventually, I heard about the Oculus Quest and decided that is what I wanted.  It was just a matter of saving up the money.  Of course, during that time, I was struggling financially.  This was a couple of years ago.  

I did have a smart phone.  After years of flip phones, I did splurge on a Walmart Straight Talk phone.  Then two years ago I purchased a T-Mobile phone.  This phone, even though I had put the Oculus on hold and wasn't thinking about it at the time, would be compatible for the headset.

Sometime after I got this phone, I heard about the Oculus Quest 2.  All I needed was the phone for the initial setup.  I finally decided that I was going to get it.  At that time my financial situation was 200% improved.

July of 2021, my daughter and I went to our local Target and Walmart to get one.  There were none in stock.  Go figure.  So I tried to order it online.  They were not available. Go figure again.  We did find out there was a recall because users were having skin irritations from the foam piece and the company was adding a silicone covering.

The end of August, they were available once again.  I was originally going to get the one with larger memory but they weren't available yet, so I get the one with something like 152 gigs.  

Initial setup was quick.

I do not regret this purchase.
