How does the new price compare to the frame? Their hardware is not supposed here officially so can't even see the prices but is it worth getting one now? Would it be a good cheaper alternative?

It costs 685.60 € with the controllers but without the base stations. They are not included and aren't offered.

The cheapest way to VR is probably a used Quest you never let on the internet.

I thought you can't even use those without an account. Is that not the case?

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 2 points 2 days ago

Not sure about the newer ones, but I've got a Quest 1 that is now unsupported and I can use that without an account. Even standalone with free games.

But you can also root the Quest 2 and 3 to use them completely without any ties to Meta.

Are you using it on Linux? If so, how is the compatibility?

Been a while. My daughter's been playing a lot with it standalone.

The Quest 1 isn't supported by Steam Link so the only way for PCVR is ALVR as far as I know. Back then it was pretty involved to set up but did work nicely. I think by now it should be easier.
