A: No they will not. I wish I did.
Q: How do you know how much memory your child will need? What does the game use the memory for?
A: The memory refers to how much internal storage the device has. Most common VR games today usually take up between 2-5 Gbs at a low and usually up to as high as 30-40 Gbs for larger games/applications. The more memory the system has, the more content (Games/Apps) the device can hold at one time; without having to delete stuff to add more new stuff.
Q: What else would you need to play games on this?
A: You will need to make or already have an Oculus account. As far as physical hardware you would only need 2 AA batteries for your two controller (1 per controller). The system itself will have it's own internal Oculus store where you can buy and download games. The previous generation device did all users to hook the headset up to a PC to play Steam downloaded VR games, I would assume this new system would also have the same capabilities. On a side note: You should buy rechargable battiers and a recharge station. This will save you so much money in the long run, I currently have the Rift S system for PC and i run through battiers for my controllers crazily, usually have to switch them every 4-5 days or so depending on how often and how long i play.
Q: What if you are a prescription eye glasses wearer, can you still use the Oculus - Quest 2?
A: Honestly you should check out VR WAVE prescription lens and get those. Trust me, I wear glasses too and it is not comfortable with the headset. Unless you have small glasses.
A: Hi Besides the games or software you have the needs. For comfort there is an huge world of stuff but me myself I purchased the charging dock, glass cleaner (it gets dirty in there) and an more comfortable secure and hairstyle friendly head piece.
A: Yes. It is called casting. Make sure your TV supports casting. When you cast, you're able to stream your headset's VR picture to a mobile phone or a TV with casting enabled. Before you begin casting, make sure your Oculus headset and Chromecast device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Q: Does this come with two goggles?
A: Of the sets I've purchased they all came with 1 Headset with straps, 2 controllers (left and right), 1 spacer for those who wear eye glasses, a charging pack with short ~3' cord, and instruction/setup manuals. There was no lens cleaners/protector or any other accessories included.
Q: Can I preorder it from bestbuy.com?
A: When I asked at the store they said no you can not. The reason being is that they're not for sure that it will be in on the date.

The Oculus Quest: Holy grail of fitness and fun
I can't recommend the Quest enough! This device will change your life! Seriously. Before reading this review, understand that I am not comparing it to other headsets on the market. This review is evaluating the Quest for what it is meant to be... The Quest is a casual VR headset. It is not intended to be compared to $700+ VR headsets or powerful gaming computers. I think of the Quest as the Nintendo Switch of VR headsets. It's perfect for doing what it has been designed to do. I play every night. I'm 45 and I have lost over 20 pounds since I purchased my first Quest three months ago. When the Quest 2 came out, I bought it on release day. I purchased the 256GB model because I am interested creating 3D video and storing media on it permanently. However, if I was just using it for games, I would have only purchased the 64GB version. The largest game is 5GB (The new Star Wars game) but most are well under 2GB. Like a smartphone app, once you purchase a game or app, you own it and can uninstall and re-install it as often as you'd like. The setup is easy. VR games are something that you have to experience to appreciate and the Occulus Quest is the perfect device for introducing yourself or anyone else to the possibilities of VR. I believe that the Quest's strengths are in social VR experiences, fitness, and casual gaming. If you are looking to play flight simulators, AAA games, or graphic-intensive gaming, the Quest is the wrong device and you will need to invest at least $700 in the headset, not to mention a $1500+ gaming computer to connect it to. The Quest is an all-in-one device, although you can also connect it to a PC and use it to play the fancy stuff too. There are only a few negatives: 1. The construction is not excellent. VR headsets are not intended for anyone under 13, so this Quest expects the user to take care of the device. It's sturdy enough to withstand anything the average adult might use it for, but I wouldn't trust it to hold up to a birthday party of 10-year-olds. 2. The screen contrast isn't as nice as most cell phones. The blacks are more of a dark gray. However, the resolution is Amazing and it will only get better as Oculus unlocks some of the more advanced features that are currently disabled to make the headset compatible with the previous generation. 3. The game/app library is somewhat limited. However, it is continuously expanding and there are also ways to sideload games that aren't in the official Oculus library. This is a nerd thing, but it's not difficult for anyone who is even slightly comfortable tweaking with the settings of their gadgets. The best of the Oculus Quest: 1. This headset is worth every penny! If you've never played games in VR, it will change your life. If you are a heavy VR user, you will love the ability to play without being tethered to your computer by a cable. 2. Welcome to the community. There are Oculus users all over the world and you will quickly discover that they are eager to help others learn the tips and tricks of the "culture." 3. You will get in better shape. Unless you already get your heart rate over 120 at least once a day and stretch regularly, you will see changes in your physical fitness. Finding games that don't require above average physical activity is difficult. I actually bought extra foam mask inserts from Oculus because I don't like swapping sweat with the people I show it to. If you buy any extras for the Oculus 2, I recommend buying third-party accessories. The extra strap, Link cable, and case made by Oculus are vastly inferior to the similar priced (or in many cases lower-priced) third-party alternatives.

OMG. I am the 1st REVIEW & I am in LOVE w/ O.Q.2
The OCULUS QUEST 2 is just insane. I have spent hours on it awaiting the extra battery pack and strap by oculus to come in tomorrow, my battery ran down during an event. So make sure you get the Extra Battery Strap you won't regret it. I bought the OCULUS QUEST 1 & it amazed me so much then suddenly a month later they release Oculus Quest 2 so I had to buy it. I could not resist. This machine keeps me in V.R. for hours without even realizing it. If you don't have VR yet the OCULUS QUEST 2 is the only way to go. I went with the 256 GB because I know I download a lot of apps. I am proud to be the first review on Best Buy. This is a game changer and you won't be sorry. The packaging was super nice. Think I will do a video review on social media as well. I uploaded a few pictures of both oculus quest 1 & 2. I was really excited to see the WHITE VERSION in OCULUS QUEST 2. I love having both colors Oculus Quest 1 is black. Best Buy is an awesome store and I always buy Geek Squad Protection on everything I purchase.

A whim purchase that I will never regret!
I have been a fan of VR for years. Started with the Samsung GearVR, that I could no longer use because Samsung phones that I had upgraded to no longer support Samsung's own product. I have been using a PSVR since then, and it is so limited on what you can do with it. If PlayStation doesn't support it, you can't do it. I saw the Quest 2 was out, didn't really know that much about it, but read a few reviews and thought I'd try it. As soon as I got it, I was amazing. It is so much better then PSVR, and it works similar to the old GEARVR; but so much has been improved with Oculus since I last used that system. This is a stand alone VR, but after a few days of having it I really wanted to see what it would do connected to a Gaming Computer. I ordered a HP Gaming Laptop from Best Buy; with specs and a video card that would support the Quest 2 Oculus Link and ordered "official" link cable to ensure everything worked. Once I had the new Gaming Laptop set up and connected to the Quest 2 I was even more amazed at what I could do now. It was great as a stand-alone VR System, hooked up to the link cable it now became a PCVR system, with the computer running most of the hard working in processing. With the pandemic we have been stuck in the house so much, but I am getting to get out of my house in VR, and it seems so real. I will spend hours in Google Earth VR, that app is amazing. I can go into ChatVR and be talking to a crazy avatar of a real person, I can play a 1st person shoot that feels like I am really in the game; the Quest 2 is making the lockdowns and staying home so much more bearable. Some tips if you are looking at one. Get the Elite Strap when you buy it. I never even tried to elastic ones that came with it, but I have never heard anyone say they work well. I purchased the 256 GB version, it is nice to have the storage when it is being used as stand-alone unit; but if you plan on using it with Oculus link most of the time you may consider going with the 64GB version and saving $100. There are lots of accessories out there, and I have probably spent hundreds of dollars adding things to use with it; but it is a great product right out of the box. Download Steam and run SteamVR's test program to make sure your PC/Laptop will support VR. I purchased my HP Gaming Laptop from Best Buy since the specs matched what Oculus said would work, tested it as soon as I got it (so I could return it if it was up to speed) and it tested great. I get some lagging, but I have a RAM upgrade on backorder, that will max out my RAM; that will fix everything. I tested my non-gaming Laptop that I already had, and SteamVR laughed at me (it does not have a gaming video card); so may sure your computer will support it if you want to use it with the link. If you use the link cable, you are not stuck using just the content from Oculus, you can sideload games and app and use SteamVR to use their content as well.
