Rift vs Rift-S

I'm keeping a keen eye on this too. The Quest 2 pops up fairly regularly on a large retailer's ebay 'clearance' store for damaged box goods, at approx. £250. For that money, plus the Anker cable, it's a no-brainer. I'll be moving to it from the DK2, so the step up is going to be something like the step up I had from my GTX 980 to RTX 3080 .

That's going to be quite a jump - about a 3.5x increase in pixel count! Just to make sure, you are aware of the Facebook account requirement? (Relevant to @pippinfort too actually).

Yup. I have a Facebook account anyway and as far as I have read, Oculus are going down that path with all the headsets. I'll be honest, my use of Facebook is fairly limited, so if they think they can use it to advertise to me, good luck! If I was concerned about people knowing what games I play, I wouldn't have an EA, Rockstar, Ubisoft, Epic or Steam account. Thanks for the heads up though, it's appreciated

Oh and I do have a USB-C port on my system, so that's covered too. I'd seen that Anker cable mentioned and although it's a bit annoying that it sticks straight out, 99.9% of my use is going to be sitting down in a chair (and maybe a cockpit later), so the 3m limit isn't a problem either

Place your bets ... who's gonna crack first? Me or Cluck?

Yeah, my Facebook account is similar - it basically gets used for Oculus, and very occasionally for testing software integration at work. The Anker cable is USB-B at the PC end by the way (or at least the one I got is).

Whoever does I hope you like it lol, now that I've gone all in recommending it....

If I do go for it, it'll be through Amazon as their distance selling / returns policy is really good.

But yeah, I'll still blame you if it's no good ...

Oh, and facebook. I don't actually have an account, but, i'd be prepared to create one to get an improved VR experience.
