    I wished there was a 256GB model as it offers a nice balance between the 128GB (too little) and 512GB (too much). It feels like I will be forced to get the 512GB model as I felt that 128GB on the Quest 2 was pushing the limit. Honestly I think this was done due to GREED by meta. The base model should have been 256GB and not 128GB.

    • @AnonymousUser-ww6ns
      @AnonymousUser-ww6ns 10 місяців тому +1

      Meta could still make money anyways on the 512GB for content creators anyways. So Meta wouldn’t be losing any money as storage is cheap.

    • @EatSleepVR
      @EatSleepVR  10 місяців тому +5

      I agree it was a cunning tactic in my opinion, especially including a free game that’s 25gb. 256 should definitely have been an option and then they would have had less backlash about the 512.

  • @ExtremeCacti
    @ExtremeCacti 11 місяців тому +22

    I still have the quest 1 (64gb) and I have about 15gb of unused space still left over. Obviously the 128gb quest 3 won’t be enough for hardcore gamers but for casual gamers like me I strongly recommend saving some money and buying the 128gb model, which then you can buy accessories and other games with the money you save. I can’t wait to upgrade!

    • @EatSleepVR

    I have the 64GB of the quest 2 and that space lasted me the couple years I have had it. I’m not someone who just spends to play something new. Something has to have merit to it for me to fully purchase and enjoy it. 120GB, give or take, is completely fine. Yes, I may land slightly towards the average user as I only play games. No business apps, videos, or extra things. Even the handful of bigger titles will be fine on the 129 model.

      @EatSleepVR  11 місяців тому +4

    I jumped into Q2 when 128 was made the standard. Even as someone that doesn't go mad, I've had problems when there's not been enough space to update larger apps, without deleting little used ones. The choice to get the 512gb was a no brainer, even if I had to take a deep breath about spending that much, especially when I will be buying the Pico 5 Pro (if the leaked specs pan out). The Pico has been my main device for the last year, as frankly there was nothing on Quest that was a must buy and despite weaker hand tracking (which I don't use on either), the UI on Pico is better and the OS more flexible IMO. The upgrade in graphics and MR potential was enough to tempt me to overlook Meta's shortcomings, but I expect the Pico to continue to be my PCVR headset.

    • @EatSleepVR
      @EatSleepVR  11 місяців тому +2

      Yeah I hated having to delete stuff, I know some people are happy to delete and re install but I like having all my favourites on there so that if people come round that haven’t used VR before I can show them a load of different games. It will be interesting to see what Pico actually comes out with next year. I didn’t really like the 4 but then I didn’t use it with PCVR.

    If I had the extra money I would opt for the 512 GB model. There have been times on my quest 2 when I deleted a game to make room and I didn't know that that particular game didn't have cloud saves. I had to find out the hard way when I redownloaded it down the road and all my progress was gone. 😢

    • @EatSleepVR
      @EatSleepVR  11 місяців тому +2

    Just ordered my first VR headset, the Meta Quest 3 and went with the 512 Gb version. For a hundred quid extra, it was pretty much a no brainer. The additional storage will I'm sure help to future proof the device as well as making things simpler in the long run - thanks for all your video's, they're very informative

  • @Lithium023
    @Lithium023 9 місяців тому +5

    I had that 128g model for a month and already ran out of room were i was shuffling around games. Figured with this being the very beginning of the quest 3 im sure the future games will prob be bigger as they start making games specifically for the quest 3. And more of the older games get a enhancment for quest 3 i might aswell just grab the 512gb and be done with it. Im sure this was all part of the meta plan to frustrate people into just getting the larger version.

    • @EatSleepVR

    As someone who bought the Quest 2 for gaming, i found my use switched to consuming media and not so much gaming. For the movies I download onto the headset there's not enough space. Each movie is about 10GB to 25GB. There are streaming websites like DEO video but it's nicer having a library on device. Much quicker especially if u want to switch between movies quickly

Most of Xbox or ps5 games are 25gig to 50gig. And some 100gig. That’s crazy big. So I returned the 120gig and paid extra $160 and got the 500gig. I am happy to get the extra memory. But it’s up to you. But I think new games coming out will be bigger games so I am safe.

    I'm a bit lazy, so because of that, after buying 128GB, I'd likely end up accumulating games I'd play just once, and I'd probably regret it when a game I truly want to play comes out. However, I still can't bring myself to buy the 512GB one because, you see, in Japan, there's such a significant price difference that you can practically get a Nintendo Switch Lite for it. If I were Elon Musk, though, I'd happily go for the 512GB. 😢

      I got the 512 gigabyte cause I have a lot of games but I still feel it’s a little much space as I still have 345gb left

    If you havn’t got a computer (hard drive) 512Gb is the way to go. I’ve already used 100gb and it’s day 5😂. I’m having so much fun. Fighting, Killing zombies…….this purchase is fkn awesome. I’m an old bugger
