I'm going to get downvoted by people who can't afford the Quest 3 and want to cope but I wanted to give some helpful advice.

I own both the quest 2 and the quest 3, and wanted to give some insight into people who are on the fence.

The Quest 3, while being $499, is a SIGNIFICANT upgrade over the Quest 2.

-The quest 3 has a huge resolution bump over the quest 2. Honestly the quest 2 is pretty blurry and feels like a budget headset. There's significant screen door effect (you can see the pixels and looks like you are staring through a screen door while the quest 3 eliminates this problem). Not only this but the new lenses makes the image sharp all the way through while the quest 2 feels blurry depending on where you look.

-The quest 3 is much more comfortable to wear because of better weight distribution. This is huge when you plan to play for more than 20-30 minutes because the two gives a lot of fatigue because of the weird weight distribution.

-The 3 uses a new set of lenses called pancake lenses which greatly increase the field of view from 95 degrees to 110 degrees. This makes it much more immersive and life like. In the quest 2, you can very easily see the edges of the image which is immersion breaking.

-The quest 3 has more accurate tracking and allows you to use mixed reality/augmented reality because of the pass through cameras in the front. The quest 2 does not allow this. This is very important when you want to be able to see your surroundings without having to take your headset off. It also makes the head set more future proof.

-I used the mixed reality on my quest 3 to learn piano. The piano notes came
Down like in guitar hero on my
Own piano in real time. It was an amazing feature that greatly expanded the capabilities past just gaming.

Honestly, unless you are an extreme casual, I would pass on the quest 2 even at this price. If you just plan to vary occasionally use it then go for it but otherwise, I would say that the quest 3 is definitely worth the money and this is coming from someone who loves to save money. To be honest, it's pretty surprising just how much Meta upgraded the headset over their previous iteration. It feels like a next gen product now and is by far the best value on the market. The Quest 2 never made me feel that way even when it was new.
I've had my quest 2 since 2021, paid $250, and used it maybe 10 times total. For what I paid, I'm not so bothered.

I love the idea of VR, but in practice, it's just a neat toy that's cumbersome to use and gets boring quick. This is my opinion though, and I understand fully, that some folks live and die by VR, but these people are the exception, not the rule. I have five or six friends that also have VR headsets (mostly quest 2), and only one of them use it consistently.

I understand the quest 3 is fairly more advanced but doubt it would lead me to using it any extra, I if I paid double, I'd be very disappointed.
Meta Quest 3 is $499.99 😒

Saw them for this price at Royal Palm Beach.

I got the 128GB without a case for $250 2 months ago. Makes me sad. Great deal.

You can still return it to Costco. I read several posts it doesn't count for the 90 day electronic policy.

Link dead because Costco online stopped stocking these. Do you have the item number to call local warehouses to verify if in stock? Is it 2021101 ..?

@Sonic04GT Even if you only had 90 day return window to return it, you said you got it 2 months ago, you'd still be able to return and buy this version IF they have it on hand and has it for that OP price. I know these discounts depends on local warehouses (ex-Costco membership/return dept employee).

The Meta Quest 3 came out almost 6 months ago. Save more money and get the newest model. While you are holding to your money, they will have to lower their price for slow sales.

Have they even made an exclusive MQ3 game yet? Last time I checked, the Q2 could handle all of them.
