Interesting, so what is the power draw of the headset, since nowadays even PC ports have (they are generally marked with some color) can deliver like 45W, which should be more than enough. And yes that port on my PC can power Quest 3 normally. But its not all, so obviously for ensuring that all people will have good experience, this approach is understandable.
Could have fooled me, nowhere has it listed and it cannot be pre-ordered anywhere. In the UK, I've got no idea where I could even buy it. I don't believe for a second that places like Argos or Currys will stock it either so walking into a store and buying one doesn't seem likely.
Yet you keep crying about not getting an inferior version of HL Alyx.
They really don't want it to have any chance of success then.
Quest 3.
It’s not as popular as Concord, we get it.
Alyx using the features of PSVR2 would easily be the best version.
If I have to guess, Sony is stupid ?
Higher resolution(s), performance and mods are easily better than HDR and vibrations.
Yes. A great good quality usb c cable but the video feed is compressed. It will power the headset but the last time I looked it would still drain faster the it charges.
Yep, so weird. You'd expect to be able to preorder this thing, but nope, not available anywhere in the UK
GameStop in Canada I was walking by yesterday had one, and sold it to me on the spot. They either didn't know or didn't care about the street date.
Its actually staying at around same % of the battery, if plugged to PD port, so it can sustain its run. However charge + play, does not work, in a sense, that it would charge it to 100% while playing. I am not sure how much is Quest 3 able to pull from the port. Power + audio/video (display port protocol) in USB-C is what basically every notebook has or monitor with USB-C input. Technology exists, but its probably on more high end mother boards, given that I don't buy anything else.
Yeah, one of the most popular games on earth doesn’t count for “reasons”. But he is just trying to dunk on Valve for being extremely popular even though they don’t make many games, despite Steam as a store front and community platform being miles ahead of literally anything else.
Half Life Alyx is basically a killer app for VR gaming and valve is using it as a way to get people into their ecosystem. Why would they give that up to help Sony sell more VR units?

Here's me using BT with PSVR2 running a single cable through my 2080TI.Wait, it uses Bluetooth? Bluetooth and VR is a very bad combination
How much longer do I get?
Valve cares more about theirs then Sony cares about theirs.
USB-C doesn't guarantee Power Delivery spec. I dont think the quest can operate at the higher 15V profile anyway.
Valve has done even less than Sony in terms of officially supporting their headset.
That's not what I said, in previous post I specified, that it is just a few ports, which are marked
I know. I'm just pointing out that not all USB-C ports are equal. The specification is not so "universal" now. Some USB ports aren't even capable of delivering video via DP Alt Mode. The Quest is also not able to draw >45W PD because it isn't capable of the higher voltage modes/profiles.
They care about getting customers to use Steam.
Valve has only 300 people working for them. They don’t have the staff to pump out games and be both a developer of games, a publisher and a comprehensive storefront. They are literally the picture of efficiency compared to other companies. Part of their success is because they pick and choose their battles.
I think they will only sell it through PS Direct and limited stores for a while as is often the case with items that have little need for mass distribution (would probably only expect 1 or 2 sales each brick and mortar store) or have low margins.
Why didn't they just make it compatible to psvr games without patches ...
Yes
