I Might Be Very Tempted.

Not been too hard to save money with Covid 19 raging about as have not been anywhere apart from the supermarket and even refuelling has been reduced significantly which means I have a few more pennies this year than last year!!
Came across this video and the guy who reviews VR Headsets is really good at what he does.
I sent my Oculus Rift 'S' back due to fuzziness but now it appears that what is coming onto the market is very much improved visually i.e. screen door effect although not entirely clear of it, the visuals are much improved.
The only thing that really bothers me is with the Quest 2 more or less demanding that you have to have a Facebook account in order to use it, their explanation follows in italics, so my choice of VR Headset is quite clearly down to one out of three, the Reverb G2.

Facebook says that it's merging Oculus accounts with Facebook accounts in order to provide better transparency with how it handles user data. Facebook also wants to make finding and communicating with friends in VR a simpler affair. Given that most people have a Facebook account, it seems logical for the company to merge its services instead of forcing players to make lots of separate accounts.
Existing Oculus accounts will not be required to merge with a Facebook account, however, not merging will create several limitations. Facebook says that it cannot guarantee that all games, apps, and services will work with Oculus accounts after January 2023 because Facebook accounts will be used for authentication, payment, and communication exclusively after that time. If you don't have a Facebook account on your Oculus device, it likely won't be possible to authenticate with the store, make payments, or even communicate with other players.
