Sold my barely used Quest 2 a few weeks ago and had a real hard time getting even $235 for it.
- de6u99er 4y agoI believe the main issue is content. Not only us it more difficult to create content for VR, it's at least twice as expensive. VR will IMHO have the same fate as 3D TV"s had. Fancy and interesting in the beginning, but too much of a hassle on the long run. Did I get it right?
- intrasight 4y ago3D is still TV - with only a small improvement. VR isn't a small improvement on something you already have. It's a whole new thing. I, for one, expect it to be as revolutionary as the WWW - which also lacked for content in the early days.
- rjh29 4y agoI agree that content creation is difficult and there is a lack of longer experiences, but OTOH people are willing to pay more per hour of content for these experiences - comparable to movies - and there are also plenty of multiplayer/roguelike games for those who want more hours per dollar. The proof is in the pudding - the Quest has sold a lot and there are many games in the store already.
- zlsa 4y agoThat's not surprising considering the brand-new price is $299, and refurb units are semi-regularly available for $250.
- archildress 4y agoYeah, it's not a super steep discount; I wound up getting $235 for it. Sales tax would've been about another $30 here so it was about $100 off sticker price with probably 10 hours of play.

- nickthegreek 4y agoOnly got $150 for mine last week after dodging scammers on fb marketplace. Wished I woulda waited!
