Cool, yeah, I contemplated it (HL), thought it too pricey, then it was on sale the next day or so :)) Nae bother mate.
Thanks for the info on the powerbanks, I'm going to have to learn/investigate more about the power banks before a purchase.
Nearly bought one off amazon this morning, checked some reviews and loads said the product was faulty and had to be replaced - it promptly got removed from the basket!
I recommend RE4 on meta store, think its about 8 gig, same size as old pc version (whole game + extras). Most VR games are quite tiny only a few gig, hence they feel quite short, even the levels on half life are quite tiny compared to the originals, but there seem to be a few that have a game completion time of over 10 hours: RE4, Walking dead.
I've read through a few different steam discussions and the Devs generally seem to recommend if you can to buy the games off the meta store, due to how steam VR works, from what I've also read there are some setting for steam VR to fix most of these, but you mostly have to edit some code etc - fine for PC enthusiasts.
If you want any discount codes for 25% off games (I own) in meta store, holla - haven't tested them yet
- but should be fairly straightforward.

Aye it's good, although I've got to a tough part with 2 electric stingray things and lots of dead bodies about, I'm not sure I've got enough ammo to take them both out - I've essentially chickened out and not attempted it for over a month. There must be a way of shutting down the on screen display - noticed it displays on both my monitor and the headset, when there is no point displaying it to my monitor (wasted GPU performance).
Got pistol whip yesterday, shall have to give that a bout later. Also picked up walkabout mini golf (crazy golf), seems to work really well in VR; missus loves it.

I haven't picked up the headset in a while, I'll need to hook myself back up to the matrix 8)
Could sure do with a few levels of Pistol Whip to lose a few pounds before my next holiday...the mankini isnt't fitting as well as it should. ???

Hehe I know the feeling. Just got mine back the other week, lent it to my 70 year old parents for giggles. Thrill of the fight is the one for me - I nearly collapsed after 3 rounds on outclassed (hardest) difficulty... although that could just be the beer exiting my system :D Pistol whip is good, just not quite as energetic, still cool though - ty for the recommendation mon ami.
Quest 3 just got announced (yesterday) for Fall this year. I'm keen to see the technical specs: it looks like it could possibly be a big GFX & CPU jump - think the vid said double on both 8)
Apple also announced their release and price of $3.5K :D
