Cunir,
I bought a VR headset because of melody because I wanted to check it out. I've had my quest 2 for over a year and it's an amazing piece of kit with a rapidly growing group of followers. The problem wasn't the headaets but melody's app. It's clunky, expensive and 2 dimensional.

Sorry if it's been posted before.

Nice mention of melody too.

Updated to show recent holdings in company.

I'll take 75k increase in user base on a monthly subscription for the first country in Asia. Thanks pud v.positive for a change. The new user base will all have friends that might want to sign up too.

Sjd, I have a Quest 2 with the elite strap and back up battery and it will last for 3hrs plus on a VR game which needs some heavy processing. So the average gig will be fine.

Does it have anything to do with being on the web viewer and therefore available to view in more countries?

Not sure if its been posted before but Niall Horan sold 125000 tickets for a virtual gig last weekend.

Good to see you're still here Mr H.

I was kind of hoping for tercent to invest in MVR but it shows some faith in the industry as a whole.

if you Google melody today the page now shows a Google ad and a downloads option. It also shows melody's downloads at 90k+.

Facebook have made this a loss leader to shift as many units as possible and get as many people into vr. I think a subscription model will help with this as £300 is still quite an amount for some. It also hasn't gone unnoticed on here that the Melody logo is front and centre of the quest 2 promotions and with our previous tie in with them I think its a possibility at least.

Just a question and please shoot me down at will.
At £300 retail is the Quest 2 Melody's viewer? This would work with a £20 plus a month on a 24 month contract for our basic package with live streams and theatre costing extra but reduced for subscribers? Timing also works as the napster deal should be in place before Xmas. The article also states that ghe XR2 chip improves resolution on 360 videos.
