I sold both my quest 3 units already.

So, I don't have the money really, but still considering this. I guess the real decision is if I need 256gb or 1tb

It has a SD card slot so it's hard for me to justify the extra expense.

I wonder what the performance is like over SD however. It might be substantially slower

But, it's a good point which I never considered.

Also, looks like you can already extend the cameras to color too with a separate addon, so AR is a very real possibility

I'd bet you can change the install location in Steam so you can move the games you're currently playing to the faster internal storage and use the SD for keeping games around you don't want to download again.

I don't think I'll be using the internal storage much though as I have a good gaming PC to stream from.

I only have a NUC 14 Pro Plus at this point. My gaming system is my Rog Ally X at the moment

[–] BananaTrifleViolin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'd change that to: who even needs a full 256GB library of vr games let alone 1tb? If willing to delete and download games as needed 256GB really is plenty. And if tethering it to a PC then the storage becomes irrelevant.

[–] auzy1@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I'm not tethering.

My rog Ally x storage is full though, and I occasionally need to delete

I wonder what the performance is like over SD however. It might be substantially slower

Likely minimal difference apart from loading times. Framerate shouldn't be significantly affected
