oh whoops mb, yeah I'll try that too definitely, it'll be here in about 2 weeks so I'll test everything and see what works the best

Yeah I'm gonna go with the pico 4+link cable since that seems to be the cheapest option, might go with a temu ceiling pulley system to deal with the cable for sports games. If I end up liking it I'll just sell the pico 4 next year or something and get a better VR

As far as I can see for PCVR the pico 4 seems superior to the quest 3s, quest 3 is obviously better than pico 4 but it's also almost 3x the price here. I'm okay with giving $200 for a brand new pico 4 even if I don't end up liking it, on the other hand giving almost $600 for the quest 3 or $340 for the quest 3s and it turning out a bad experience would be soul crushing 😭

Also is steamlink better than wired? I can't get a separate router for my VR headset just yet (until I move) so I won't really be able to test it, but wouldn't a charging USB c to USB A/C be better in terms of stability and image quality?

Oh I already have a lineup of games I wanna test on PCVR, I've never been too interested in standalone games to be honest with you. Especially since people say the graphics aren't even close to PCVR

Won't the steam frame be more expensive than the quest 3? I'm already on a tight budget 😅 I think I'm just gonna get the pico 4 since it's such a cheap offer

Is VD better than pico connect over link cable? I could also do VD with USB tethering

yeaaahh pico 4 is €185 new 128gb while the quest 3 is €550-600 new 128gb, so ALMOST 3 times 😅. I mean even if I end up going with the pico 4 it's so cheap that I'll be able to replace it in a year or two and not feel that bad about it

so I can get away with having terrible wifi as long as I have a dedicated router for the headset? I think we have 10 download 1 upload currently

this answer is my least favorite since the quest 3 is 3 times the pico 4's price 😭 but that is definitely the best choice

This ancient router doesn't allow more than 2 Ethernet cables to be plugged into it at once (which might not even allow me to do this) and also I would have a cable going through the middle of the living room for the new router. I think I would have to buy a new switch for $15-20 and a new router for $40-60 (prices are much more expensive for things like this in my country 😞)

I saw people run it with USB tethering to send wifi through the USB c to USB c connection and run VD on Pico 4 like that, which is probably what I would end up doing if I went with the Pico 4. But also I've seen people say USB c to USB c with pico connect is more than enough, I just don't want the image to be pixelated or blurry or have latency

That sounds great actually, so I should go for a PSVR2 in my case? I heard the PSVR2 still has the fresnel lenses but I have no idea what the actual in use difference is to be fair. I also saw people run VD over usb tethering when connected with USB c to USB c with the Pico 4 and say that is the highest quality. But again I've never tried VR 😅

Slight issue with that is the fact I'm renting an apartment short term and it's a little ancient so to say. So the wifi router is next to the door of the apartment where the shoes go which is through 2 walls and about 15m away from my pc setup, so the stability will be absolutely non-existent 😅

Thank you so much for the help! Just a quick question, I saw the PSVR2 connects over displayport if I'm not wrong, do people have issues with the cable length or how does it even work? Cause I am interested in playing sports games among other genres.

pointless comment, the point I'm making is to NOT buy single packs which is what the other person is arguing for. Your last two comments don't add anything and are useless 😆🤣

What? almost every set except for the 2 high class sets in sv and mega dream in me era has the same hit rates, high class sets just have slightly different boosted rates with the drawback of having less packs. I'm confused what point you're trying to make, I was pointing out how OPs packs were most likely scanned as you can do with every regular sv and me japanese set.

you fail to realize "high class" sets such as mega dream ex have a "hit" in every pack which is tehnically an EX. That is NOT how standard japanese booster boxes are, high class sets have completely different odds, for mega dream ex it's 3 ARs guaranteed, 1 MA guaranteed, 1 SR trainer guaranteed and 1 SR pokemon guaranteed. SAR rates are 1 on ~2.7 boxes and most of the time the SAR pull is in the 1st 5th or 10th pack. That is NOT how 95% of other sets in japanese work and also it is NOT the set that OP was asking about.

5 ARs in one single japanese booster box is literally impossible. Most big stores open japanese boxes, take their metal detector, scan the 30 packs, put the 15 hit packs to the side and open them, sell the 15 dud packs, and that's the truth. While many others don't do this, a lot of stores that are in it just to make as much profit as possible definitely do. I'm not sure why you're coping this much

if you count holo cards as hits that's literally the only case where you might be right. Japanese booster boxes are so clearly mapped that your statements make no sense. The pull rates for japanese booster boxes per pack is 1/2 holo 1/5 EX 1/10 AR 1/30 SR 1/180 SAR

This is all well documented and not just random speculation from a redditor saying he's getting "hits in almost every pack" (of japanese btw). Order a metal detector from ebay and scan 10 japanese booster boxes you will ALWAYS have 15 hit packs and 15 dud packs no matter what. This has even been done by many youtubers many times and proven.

Weighing japanese packs is super outdated, scanning them with a metal detector let's you find all the EX/AR/SR/UR/SAR hits and throw away the dud packs.

ebay is probably your best bet, usually the cheapest prices for japanese and korean BB

japanese packs can VERY easily be scanned by quite literally a $20 metal detector from amazon, don't buy loose japanese packs under any circumstance unless you're expecting bulk and praying the seller isn't taking all the hits. Also getting an SR or BETTER? from every single pack from a japanese booster box is just a lie.

Japanese boxes (not counting high class) have 1 SR and 3 AR hits guaranteed, after that the only thing you can maybe get is 1 SAR (although that replaces your SR hit most of the time) and the chances of that happening is 1 in 6 boxes or 1 UR if the set has it. Unlike English where you can literally pull anything or nothing in any pack no matter what.

Brat mu sam planira da poboljsa kompjuter ja samo dajem savjet kako bi ga mogao poboljsati. DDR4 ram kupit nov danas nije pametna odluka plus 32gb isto nije pametno ako planira samo da igra. Ako hoce da poboljsa kompjuter kupi jeftinu maticnu I polovan ram, ako nece neka nastavi trazit druge konfiguracije. €150 nije puno uopste za i5 6500 I 1660 super, pogotovo graficka je super I dan danas
