But imagine that motion sim with some actual VR goggles though.



Only 150k a year

That's very, very cool, but after doing some number crunching, at $150k a year, it wouldn't even make economical sense for someone like Disney to use it. Turn it into a Star Wars themed game/ride @$15 for a 5 min ride. Disney would need 85 people per day to use it to make $450k/year assuming 2 weeks of down time a year for repairs/maintenance. Dudes better focus on those military contracts.

$15 for 5 mins at DISNEY??? Bump that up to $30 and then they don't need to make all $150k off the one machine. They just need it to get a fraction of that in the building.... Then they gash you with souvenirs and food

It's like a gas station. They don't actually make any real money off the gas. They use the gas to get you in the store and then double and triple up on you there

Exactly. Disney could squeeze some more profits out of this venture. Imaging playing Star Wars Squadron in one of those things?

If you still haven’t migrated your Oculus account to a Meta one, you might want to do that soon. In an email sent to users, the company says it will delete Oculus accounts on March 29th, 2024, preventing you from reactivating or retrieving your apps, in-app purchases, store credits, and more. You’ll lose your achievements, friends list, and any content created with your Oculus account if you don’t migrate to a Meta account before then.

Oculus accounts have been on the way out since 2020, when the company then known as Facebook started requiring new users to sign up with Facebook accounts instead. However, it added the ability to create a Meta account in 2022, offering an alternative to users who didn’t want to link their Facebook account to their Quest headset. Meta stopped letting users log in to their Oculus accounts in January 2023. If you’ve got a Quest gathering dust in a drawer somewhere, now’s your last chance to migrate your Oculus account to a Meta one.

You can migrate your account by heading to this page and signing up for a Meta account with the same email you’ve used for Oculus. From there, you’ll be able to access all of the same games, data, and other purchases saved to your Oculus account.

Several of us here at The Verge received the email, including a couple of my colleagues who have already converted their Oculus accounts to Meta. It’s not clear whether Meta sent these emails by mistake or if there’s any action Meta account holders will need to take. The Verge reached out to Meta with a request for more information but didn’t immediately hear back.

Holy crap Half Life Alyx looks and plays amazing with the PSVR 2.
Absolutely flawless and is the best looking VR game I've ever played.
Not a single complaint about the image quality or the performance.
Straight out the box, everything works.
You have to download the PS VR app and the Steam VR app on Steam.
Run through the set up and be prepared to play one of, and quite possibly the, best VR game in existence.
I'm running on a Ryzen 7 5800X, RTX 3080, and 80gb RAM (This use to be a machine I was using for 6K video editing).

I just copped the meta 3 after not touching my meta 2 in over a year. Still disappointed in the lack of good games for VR. Even PCVR games are lackluster.
