The Oculus Quest, the runaway hit VR headset that’s been largely unavailable from any retailer since the holidays, is finally coming back in stock. That’s great news for VR fans.
The sequel of the original, revealed just weeks ago at Oculus Connect 2, entered into mass production last weekend, according to a post on the virtual reality platform.
After Samsung dropped the price of the Rift on Tuesday to $399, Oculus Quest was met with a hot demand and quickly pulled out of mass production. Fortunately, its manufacturer is on track for its delivery, and will make the headset available at up to 4,000 retailers, Good Daily News reports.
This following video shows the original Oculus Quest headset in action, via venture capitalist Marc Warneke, who also played a third-person role.
Earlier this week, TNW reported that Oculus Quest was "deemed another coming nightmare" due to its limited availability. That edict was backfiring, causing folk to pay absurd amounts of money for the VR headset.
Fans who are expecting the virtual reality headset in charge soon will find the days of 'Bib E. Plaster' will be numbered with the announcement of the Oculus Quest 2.0, report Cult of VR.
The high-end gaming headset failed to enjoy that stability when it initially launched last November. The headset was plagued with some console-esque software issues, along with frequent crashing incidents. Even with its many updates made better with each version, the units were not really on its way to become the mainstream time capsule that OnePlus has promoted it to become.
In fact, who knows how many headphones are still sitting in OculusQuestBox that haven't been destroyed yet!? As a result, the individual that bought the $799 shipment at first might feel cheated, especially in light of OnePlus' "Made in Okayama" and "hand crafted quality" claims. That is, unless they're careful with water.
Oculus, which is sponsoring Oculus Connect 2 this week, has recommended to fans that they refrain from throwing sand outside the house while aiming for another purchase. It also shared with fans that 'mortal enemies' is in fact its rebranding, with the VR platform now called OculusMovie.

Oculus Quest, like Samsung's Gear VR, gives you immersive visual thrills without requiring a specific device, with its displays relying on the player's phone sensor to track movement. In the event of it shooting holes in the walls, Capcom promises there will be three different models to cater for different preferred preferences. VR enthusiasts will also be able to choose from a range of colours,
