> and make sure you're close to the router to not experience latency

You really don't have to be that close. If you are getting 866 link speed (or better, 1200, but that requires a fancy router not a basic one) you will not be able to notice additional latency by the distance; the latency isn't due to photon speeds; they are fast as heck. It's due to dropped messages and error rate. I get full coverage in my house and can play anywhere, but it's just a small house (1000 square feet). I love playing VTOL in my bathroom and I love playing No Man's Sky on the patio.

I didn't end up buying a new router for Virtual Desktop; my original existing one was 5+ years old but had full link speed for Quest 1 (866). But I guess if you have a really old router you may have to upgrade.

I do use a battery pack, yes. You can get my exact model for about 30 bucks. Gives me about 8 hours total when both it and my heaadset are charged; I just pop it in my pocket (and additionally run the wire through my button down but that may depend on your wardrobe). There are probably higher capacity models now with similar form factor.

Been using VR for 6 years.

Quest doesn't need base stations. But yes I do recommend an external battery if you are going to dig into things; I use a cheap Anker. Can't comment on Facebook as I'm a Facebook user in good standing, but can't say that I've been encouraged by all the people having problems with their new accounts. :/

> And if I preordered it would I get it a few days after the release date?

I would imagine the preorders are already pushed out quite a bit by now; I haven't looked though. I am planning on picking up one from retail if I can.

It was an Amazon DOTD when I bought it, so it's $27 now, but still a great price I'd say https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ISO92V2/

Regarding battery, just get a power bank and slip it in your pocket. I have a cheap Anker I use that adds about 6 hours to my play time.

You're right though that PoGo itself is fairly heavy on resources (I play another game that is seemingly much more involved and it's nowhere near what PoGo pulls) and my phone (HTC 10) will go into thermal throttling (lowers the charge current, clocks down the processors, etc.) when playing PoGo and charging at the same time. Usually when I end up charging mine it'll be in a car and the car holder is a vent clip type, so I just blast it with the a/c and rarely have any issues.

Buy a portable battery. I have this one: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerCore-Portable-Charger-PowerIQ/dp/B01ISO92V2/ref=sr_1_12?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1490309040&sr=1-12&keywords=anker+battery
