I don’t know what’s worse. The fact that this will definitely still require a Facebook account to use. Or the fact that it will also require a Microsoft one too

[–] Ulrich@feddit.org 5 points 3 months ago

It's possible Meta is trying to recoup their losses by selling hardware to MS.

[–] Tronn4@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Zike! It only required a Sony account 😅

You haven't needed a facebook account for the headsets for years now. They finally saw that linking the two was a horrible idea.

You need an Oculus account though, don't you? Different name but under the same horrid umbrella.

[–] CanadianCorhen@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

no, sadly you need a Meta account, which is separate from your Facebook account. (pour one out for Oculus, such a better brand name).

For a while it was rough, if you got a facebook ban it would block your headset. now at least they are separate, and getting banned on one doesn't ban the other!

[–] loreng@beehaw.org 3 points 3 months ago

Oh, right, I forgot they did the boneheaded thing of killing the Oculus name off. Baffling move tbh.

So uh, does this work on PC, or is it locked to Xbox? What is the advantage here vs a non branded version?

I'm avoiding MS and Meta like the plague anyway but I'm just curious. I see VR still must be a thing but I haven't heard of any stellar games since half life and beat saber. I've been waiting for price drops and forgot about it completely in the mean time.

It is exactly like the standard Meta Quest 3S, it's just a different colorway and it comes with a Xbox controller and some Gamepass bundled.

You can still stream games from your PC, play Standalone titles, stream Gamepass, whatever.

At this point I'm avoiding Xbox products out of spite for the ridiculous naming conventions

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Did they use the same name as Meta?

[–] a_baby_duck@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

It's a limited run reskin of the same product, except it's $100 more and comes with the Elite Strap and an Xbox controller.
