Head strap: no, especially since they're really prone to cracking due to a design defect. Lens protectors: my case came with one to put in when the Quest's not in use. I've had three VR headsets now and never had lens scratching/light issues, but it helps with peace of mind, I guess? The silicone cover was a waste of money, I used it a couple of times and wish I had spent the money on another game instead.
You can buy a lens protector if you are really worried about it, its like a lens but without prescription, plano they are called iirc.
Elite Straps are back on the Oculus store for direct purchase.
Awesome, thanks! I literally checked the Oculus store right before posting here so they must have just restocked minutes or hours after.
It still slips a lot with it, hopefully the 3rd party halo strap fixes that.
Good news and bad news: Oculus added the ability to "gift" Quest apps last month, you tell the store you are buying the game "for a friend" and enter their email address. However, it'll probably send a message to the recipient the moment you do so, ruining any surprise. Also, it's unclear if you need a Facebook account yourself to do the gifting.

This is the web version of the store:
Shop Meta Quest VR Games, Apps, Deals and More | Meta Quest
Shop VR games, apps, and entertainment available on the Meta Quest headsets. Download hundreds of action, sports, and multiplayer VR games on Meta Quest.
I did just verify, you can gift a game to any email address - it sends a code that works on any device. The only limitation is only the recipient of the email can get a refund, and you only have like a month to claim the code.
Playing Alyx seated I have no problems, but with Beat saber, FitXR and Pistol Whip, it tends to slip, which makes everything blurry city.
I recommend the VR Cover for that issue - it has a leatherette cover that grips your face better, keeping the headset from slipping. Not quite as comfortable as the default foam, but it's easier to wipe off.
Still slips, even if I adjust the elite strap so much I end up having weird marks all over my face.
I would highly recommend SUPERHOT VR if you have the space for room-scale gaming (something like a 2x3m space is more than enough).
I got an identical one off Aliexpress, and it's fantastic. So much better than the stock headstrap in that it's more comfortable, and easier to put on and take off. Aliexpress was cheaper too: NZ$41 including shipping. It fits snugly into the official Oculus carry case, though it won't close as it's a bit too high.Replacement Adjustable Headband Head Strap For Oculus Quest 2 VR Glasses | eBay

Has anyone here tried these cheaper "elite" headstraps from China? Currently the Elite strap is super expensive for those of us outside the US, so this would be about half the price for me.... and I'm still considering eventually getting the official battery version eventually, so wondering if this cheaper one is good enough to hold me over till then...
I didn't have to do anything special, and had no issues like that, but you might want to give examples of games which were causing problems.
No idea about the Quest 2 version, but playing the PC one on Quest 2 is awesome.
Actually there is a Quest port. It came out a couple months ago.
Ah. Thanks. Sorry for the misinformation. I got mine in a Steam sale so if there's cross buy I don't qualify.
Yes.
Thank you! Exactly what I wanted to hear.Yes.
There was some outrage initially around this topic because a support rep said it was against the ToS and you would get banned. They officially corrected that.
It bothers me as well, but I made the jump the other week and it's such an impressive piece of kit that I'm begrudgingly accepting it as the cost of entry. I've had PSVR since day 1 but logging onto the Oculus 'home' was such a "yup, this is exactly what it should be like" moment that I've re-purchased some PS VR games on the Quest and am considering boxing away my PSVR for the long term...
Yeah. I have the Quest 1, so unless I get rid of that, I'll have to bite the bullet eventually anyway.
Ahh I missed that, I hear it's a tangible upgrade (experience may vary of course) but understand why you're not jumping straight in. If I were in your position I'd be definitely considering getting a Quest 2, only this morning I was listening to a podcast where they briefly mentioned a game that struggles on Quest 1 but is mostly fine on Quest 2. Can imagine that's only going to become more and more common as we head into 2021
As long as your router has 5Ghz you should be fine.
