Oculus quest

For good or for bad, my good, kind and sexy wife is going to buy me the oculus quest (XD anticipated Christmas gift)
And for many videos that I see I have several doubts that I can not solve or I can not find
I would appreciate answer to the question with number to not get lost

1) Are they really worth it?

2) what strikes me as always have been online games, surely in the future take more, those who call me the most of the genre are Orbus Vr and pavlol, they know if they will take new games (I suppose so) but mmorpg type?

3) battery, how many mah have the glasses? To buy a pouch more than anything to know how much they consume

4) graphically how are they? I see that logically they are wireless and everything can not be compared to cable (by dramatize I will put Lenovo Explorer) that many games look better, do you know if they will be optimized?

5) movies, I've seen that the movies look like you're watching a monitor (what to connect to your pc) is cool that kind of striming the truth (I do not think that is its main function and more wireless but good) movies Can you make them look great so that they occupy a large field of vision? And is it fixed view? Or if it moves head badly we go?

6) Why does Amazon have such good service? I would buy it there, since in pcc they are 41 euros more expensive for the face (and I think they raised it more)

7) the games there are type offers? Or do I see myself asking in the corner? Why I read that in the fixed stores are cheaper than in the quest

Thank you for answering and reading the sheet

I don't have a Quest, but I've had a Rift for nearly 2 years and I've been interested in the Quest:

1) Ultimately it depends on you (and your wife if she's going to use it as well), but most likely yes. All ~10 people that I've had play Beat Sabre on my Rift said they were willing to pay the retail price of a Quest. I know multiple people who've also used their Oculus Go more than their Rift because it's quite useful for video content consumption (watching Netflix in bed on a virtual IMAX screen, etc).

2) Pavlov may or may not be coming to Quest (the devs are trying but it might not be feasible without overhauling the engine, etc); Orbus I'm not sure. I would be shocked if nobody wasn't working on an MMORPG for the Quest though.

3) We don't know yet (though I'm sure someone is working on a tear down as we speak), but the battery life is 2-3 hours and it's unlikely that the battery is more than 5000mAh (probably more like 3500mAh or something). Chances are your body will get tired before the headset + a (eg) 10,000mAh battery pack does. If you're just binge-watching Netflix or something you can always just plug the headset directly into a USB port / charger to run indefinitely, but you'll just have to be careful not to yank the cable.

4) It's entirely up to the developers and the games. Some games like SUPERHOT VR look identical to their PC version, other (more graphically intense) games will look noticeably worse, if you do an A / B comparison test, but they'll still look and play fine. Here's Robo Recall (a game with decent graphics on PC) on the Quest:

5) You can make movies literally appear the size of giant theatre screens if you want. One program called Big Screen literally has a virtual movie theatre that you can share with friends. Last year I watched a licensed streaming of Top Gun in 3D (3D movies look much better in VR than with 3D glasses) in Big Screen. I'd probably do it more often, but I already have a 4K TV and the Rift (being a wired headset) can be a little less comfortable. The Oculus Quest also has a higher resolution screen and better lenses than the Rift CV1 that I own.

6) Amazon just generally has good shipping and return policies; if you have the option of buying directly from Oculus.com that'd work just as well.

7) Not sure what you're asking here, but if you're asking what kinds of games are available, eel free to explore the store: https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/
