All that noise just for a limited edition. Smh.

They are good headsets though, if i didn't already own a 3s I would have picked this one up, it certainly looks nicer than the standard.

Have they tested Xbox app before launching this? It is unplayable on Meta Quest and this seems to be only a marketing movement to say "This is an Xbox". Lag is mortal with the Xbox official app on Meta Quest. It is far better and cheaper to use Steam VR, Meta Link or any other solution, but not Xbox app. Some will be disappointed after buying this for playing Xbox Game Pass streamed games... but... hey! This is a good XR set for connecting to a PC and playing Half-Life: Alyx and thousands of VR titles for PCVR... as well as native Meta Quest titles and apps. Maybe, this will convert more Xbox players to Meta Quest users.

Why would you stream a game while using a VR headset? Sounds like a bad combination

XBManiac3h ago(Edited 3h ago)

It works flawlessly with a PC through WiFi 6/7 and it gives you freedom, playing PC VR games without wires. You can have full PC graphics and fps with "dumb" light VR set comfort. But... Meta Quest 3S (and any other compatible model) Xbox Game Pass Solution only works as a virtual screen with added lag and lower resolution. It is a bad resolved solution for something that works better without Xbox engraved on the packaging. The Xbox game pad is nice, BTW... but it does not add anything new.. .no haptics, no nothing.

Because you can get an experience of playing on a massive screen

Maybe your wifi is crap, why would a streaming app on Q3 be worse than using it on a phone? when it's basically a phone its self, I haven't tested it on the Q3 but a I on the phone and it runs fine and I have seen people say it runs no different to playing it on anything else which I assume to be true because it's a streaming app and the quest is one of the best devices for streaming

IT'S virtual reality glasses? Lmao! Dont you mean a Meta Quest 3s with a new paint scheme? Why are we pretending this is some new platform?

Deeeeznuuuts2h ago

Exactly, I've seen so many articles saying that Xbox are releasing a VR system. They're not, like you said, it's just a lick of paint 😅

DivineHand1252h ago

In the VR communities people are excited for this. If I didn't already have a meta quest 3 I would be considering this just for the look and the new controller.

Sony Faces Class Action in the Netherlands Over Allegedly Inflated PlayStation Store Prices

Mass Damage & Consumer Foundation in the Netherlands has filed a class action against Sony for inflating PlayStation Store prices.

dveio19h ago(Edited 19h ago)

My personal opinion:

Manufacturers and publishers have indeed inflated the industry.

From $700 million development costs for games like Call of Duty, to digital (store) prices for games and DLCs, online multiplayer fees on consoles (why can you play Helldivers 2 online for free on PC but not consoles?) or still preventing sell/lend digitally purchased games.

Sometime in the future, this bubble will collapse.

They should know better, but they just can't help themselves and suck even the last penny out of our wallets.

Because Sony knows people will be forced to pay those prices for single player and multiplayer games, not everyone prefers PC gaming. Sony also has a monopoly on PlayStation digital games. In 2019, they stopped allowing retailers and game key sellers to sell PlayStation digital games, making them available only through the official PlayStation Store

The Dutch gov. wants a piece of the pie.

Eonjay19h ago

They should be suing the individual publishers increasing the prices to $80 instead of suing the store. There are plenty of publishers still selling game for like $50 with much success (like E33). But this proves that the publishers are the ones setting the prices.... so again nothing changes because they aren't even going after the main offender. How is suing Sony going to make Microsoft not charge $80 for the next COD? Sony being the number one store in the market doesn't mean that publisher have to charge us an arm and a leg. Again the industry is laughing at us because consumers never get real representation. Just these fake platitudes that are meaningless.

"How is suing Sony going to make Microsoft not charge $80 for the next COD"

Because Microsoft doesn't have a monopoly, I can purchase Call of Duty at a huge discount from CDKeys or other gaming retailers. The only way to purchase digital PlayStation games is through the PlayStation Store.

djl348516h ago

Weird, I swore GoW, Stellar Blade, Horizon Zero Dawn, TLoU, etc. were on the steam store....uh.....

BeHunted12h ago(Edited 12h ago)

@djI3485

I'm talking about PlayStation games that you can only purchase on PlayStation. I can purchase Steam and Epic games from 3rd party retailers and key stores.

About time. There is zero fair reason why digitally distributed products that you cannot recoup any value when you want to dispose of them, should be priced higher than that of physical copies that entail all of the costs and the benefits of owning.
