Xbox doing hardware shadow drop is actually normal believe it or not.

And no, we didn’t get one to review.

399 doesn’t sound too bad at all.

Sorry for a undoubtedly noob question, but my VR knowledge is…doesn’t go far. Can you just use this or do you need a PC for it to hook it up too? Because if not, that is not bad at all.

This is a solo system that can wirelessly connect to a PC if you want. It’s essentially a mobile phone chip so games look ok but not great in it. The 3S has the older lenses of the Quest 2 but is Quest 3 in most other ways

Oooh I see. That explains the lower price point then.

I was wondering if this would let me play Half Life Alyx without a PC, so I looked it up but nope, PC is needed for it. For RE7 too it seems. I really still do want to experience at least those two games in VR some day. But I can’t justify buying it for just a few games.

Well a much better headset that can handle these games without a PC, that is.

This seems extremely limited. My local Best Buy only has 2. So considering Best Buy is the only retailer that carries this, that’s kinda insane.

I think this will end up being very rare.

Well I bought it. Couldn’t let such a rare Xbox item slip past me. If it turns out to not be very limited then I might return it, but for now I feel like I got 1 just to be safe.

It’s not available in Australia, but I might order one and have it sent to MyUS, a parcel forwarder.

Edit: VPN works- was able to navigate to the Meta site annd put one in a bag.
