I recently took a long flight and brought my Quest device, set to travel mode. It worked great! Pretty much the same experience as this article describes.

One protip, I bought a 512G flash drive and loaded it with content. Then I could pop the drive in and play movies off it. I did not want to deal with needing connectivity for DRM or other server checks.

Highly recommend that people try this out, the next time you travel. It’s a killer use case for VR.

How did you acquire the content? Buy the blu-rays and rip them?

Depends on the content, but some disc rips, some ytdl, some internal corporate stuff that I just hit Save As. The nice thing about the Quest, it is pretty much just a computer so lots of formats can get played (and you can even just copy files to the filesystem in a format the e.g. BigscreenVR or other video player apps can read)

Once you buy the blu-rays, there's no need to rip them. You can just download them, as you already have a license.

Come to think of it, you can skip the first step too, and just download them.
