I just beat the champion boxing dude on thrill of the fight (on points) for the first time on endurance level.
5 rounds of 3 minutes each and my muscles still feel like jelly. My legs included because there's loads of ducking and weaving involved. A really intense workout, at least for somebody like me.
Time now to start adding more rounds on. Fuck knows how people go the full 12 rounds on VR, let alone in a real ring with some hard bastard actually trying to hurt you.

 I've got that game. Fighting the Russian was knackering, hit him hard but he just bruised up and wouldn't go down. I've only played it a couple of times though. I knocked out the fat fella at the beginning  . Pop one is still my go to game.

Being a total novice to this, am I right in saying that this is an all in one console as part of the headset? i.e. you don't need to connect up to a PC/Console running the games?
If so, based on what you are saying it sounds like it is a worthwhile investment? I assume the games are downloadable on the headset via wifi.. what is the ball park price of games etc.

Yes. Not all are, but the Occulus Quest is. what is the ball park price of games etc.
Usually between $15 and $30. Some are a bit more. |

FH, buy some Magnesium Spray. Under the tongue, your muscle recovery will improve hugely and be less prone to fatigue. It'll also help improve nerve receptors too. You can make your own by getting Mg flakes and making a solution in distilled water. Whack it in a little spray bottle. Jobby done-ey. Obviously if on other medication do check first if it is ok for you to use a Magnesium Chloride supplement |

The quest 2 is £299for the 64gb version, enough for approx 25+ games (we only have around 8 games, so imo the 64gb is fine). You download the oculus app on your phone and you can link PayPal to it and the headset. Games are purchased as downloads, which takes a few minutes. Prices for games are £5 to £30 and there's always deals on. Battery lasts around 2 and half hours which is plenty. I have a battery pack I can link which will double that time, but I wouldn't want to be on it for that length of time. You get two hand controllers each take a single AA battery. Great fun. |

Nice, cheers guys. I checked Amazon earlier and it was £279.99 but just checked again and it's out of stock now - but I'm no rush.
I'll think about it more, but might give it a go and join the fun.

Is this thread some sort of viral marketing? Bunch of bastards, I really want one now. I'd love a crack at the boxing game, although doubt I'd get much to play it.
