I think I'm gonna buy the headset today on my way home.
So... Is there a consensus on what is the best third party head strap?

I like the Bobo S3 but I also prefer the halo strap type similar to ps vr. Matters what you prefer.I think I'm gonna buy the headset today on my way home.

I bought the Kiwi comfort and it is great. Way better than the strap it comes with.
The S3 does look nice but looks like it's not available in Canada. Ordered the Kiwi one.I like the Bobo S3 but I also prefer the halo strap type similar to ps vr. Matters what you prefer.

Thanks for the recs!
I was using the DAS on my Quest 1 as well! Glad to hear that it's even better.I also have the Kiwi. I used the DAS for the Quest 1 and 2. And even bought an adapter for the Q3. But IMO the Kiwi is just more comfortable and it finally made me ditch the DAS. That may or may not mean anything to you, but I'm just saying it's a nice strap for the money.
Hmm... So I bought the headset and did the basic setup. I got the mail for my copy of Asgard's Wrath 2 but it doesn't seem to work?
I have redeemed it on the website but I'm not seeing it in the library when looking inside the headset.
The strangest thing is that Asgard's Wrath 1 showed up in my PC Meta Quest Link library!?
Is there some kind of delay between the time you buy something on the website and before it shows up in the library?

I've been using my Quest laying down or sitting with headrest a lot these days and it's super uncomfortable with a lump of plastic of the other straps on the back of my head so I'm now back to using stock strap.
I wish someone would come up with a way to make a comfortable strap without hard plastic on the back. Stock strap is a bit more bearable with AMVR facial interface but it still sucks for longer sessions.

So I'm planning on mostly using the headset for PC VR but are there any Quest exclusive games I should really look into? Especially since there's a sale on the store right now.

Arcade Paradise just shipped. If you haven't played the flat version it's highly recommended. Support for 90fps on Quest, no reprojection garbage, nice CRT shaders, new arcade games for VR. They get it.
I went with bobo
I literally just bought my Quest 3 2 days ago, upgraded from my OG Oculus Rift that Ive been using for 7 years now.....
ill def say, the vanilla headstrap is just SOOOOOO bad. literally hurts the back of my head/neck
My only issue is....Old Oculus Rift games...
it seems the only way to play those games are when you use App link or Quest link? but it seems everytime I want to use App Link or Quest Link, I need to repair which is annoying as shit.
It seems I can't use VD for my Old Oculus Rift games purchased on Rift store?
I guess there's no reason to have the Oculus app on PC anymore other than if you own Oculus PC games? I have the three Vader games and the Phantom Cover Ops game on PC but other than that, since I use Virtual Desktop I don't need Quest Link at all... I find the official app so annoying and cumbersome.
Using a wire would go through Quest Link and not VD at all?If you want to use a wire (it's worthwhile for higher bitrates + 120Hz) you'll want to keep it installed.
Am I wrong for thinking things would have been much better @ 120hz? Isn't this an emulator thing? 120hz would be way better for the 60hz games than 90.
I'm wanting to get one of these but damn is that price just out of the range I want to spend right now. What are the odds of a price drop or discount this holiday?
When I click on Rift games on VD, it says I need to use Quest link Air link...idk what to tell you. It refuses to let me play rift games unless im connected with Airlink/questlinkAm I wrong for thinking things would have been much better @ 120hz?

You've always been able to run Rift SDK games on VD. Not sure why you're having issues. Unless maybe you're talking DK1 stuff? I'm not sure why any CV1 era stuff is giving you issues. I've run quite a few Rift only games on VD over the years.

For anyone who has the official elite battery strap: how exactly are you supposed to "turn on" the headset? There's the Quest 3 power button that tells me the battery level on-screen when I put on the headset and then I have to do another quick, almost long press to actually turn the headset on. Is this right? lol I just feel like it's supposed to be a little seamless than that.
On a completely different subject, I just looked up Quest+ since it has a free month trial and does their big subscription service really only has 14 games? What....
Wasn't aware of the referral stuff...Well...it used to be only 2 games a month until a month ago. Yea, the service kinda sucks. I didn't activate my free 6 month subscription for buying my Quest 3 and only missed one game I didn't have for $15 in those 6 months so no huge loss (it was NFL Pro Era and I got NFL Pro Era II on sale for $20 later so I have the better game anyway with better visuals). Didn't you get a free 6 month trail for getting the quest 3? Also if you get a year subscription they give you $25 back (making a year $35 instead of $60). Ends next month. I hope you got the free $30/$60 for accepting someone's referral when you set up the headset.
DMed you mine.Anybody has a Canadian account referral link? I just tried with a US account and it didn't work but I'm seeing Canadian people on Reddit who have referral link so I assume I just need one from the same region. I'd much prefer to get one from a user here than from a rando on Reddit!
Gotcha. I forgot to mention that I do keep my headset powered off when I'm not using it so I figured that was the case anyway. Appreciate the insight!This has nothing to do with the Elite Battery Strap.
If the headset is in sleep mode, you press the power button once or just put it on (unless you have turned off the auto wake from sleep option).
If the headset is fully powered off, you hold down the power button till you see the Oculus logo. You don't need to press twice. The first press is merely if you DON'T want to turn it on but are curious to see what the charge is.
Update (December 10th, 2020): While Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond was originally planned to require 340GB of free space for its installation process of the Oculus version (resulting in a final instal size of 170GB), Oculus says it has optimized the process such that it will now only required 180GB to install. While still a massive game, this will make it significantly easier to squeeze onto your drive. Be sure to update to the latest version of the Oculus PC software.
Bought the Quest 3 last week, Love it. I still use my PSVR2 for co-op Legendary Tales. But all my spare time now is in the Quest. First person tennis is wonderful, Just got update 4.7. Golf+ is great, Augmented reality is a game changer, The thrill of the fight with pass through is insane, Having a boxing bout whilst his in the living room with me!
Big screen VR is brilliant, Best way now for me to watch YouTube or Twitch.
And Wander is great too, Familiarising myself with Hirosaki, Before I go there in September. Using technology at its best, Now I feel like I already know the place I'll be going too. Feels like a memory already etched into my brain.
Can't fault it, I also got the elite strap and it's highly recommended, As it also gives an extra hour or so battery.
10/10
I'm so tempted to spring for one. Outside of YouTube and Twitch are there other options for watching stuff?
Prime video is decent.Netflix, though for some reason the resolution is quite low.
Then there are various apps you can use to watch your own local files or streamed from your own computer.

If anything, Q3 and Q3 Lite would be more future proof for those who'll mainly use it as standalone because of the better processor (which won't matter as much if you use it for PCVR). Better pass through also allow for more possibility and many apps are pushing more into mixed-reality.I know people are recommending the Q3 over Q2, or waiting for the Q3Lite.
However for someone that will only use it as standalone (don't have a PC), is the upgrade that much worth it?
The Q2 is £175, the Q3 is £460
