If you don't like the "free" games of the month you can hold off activating Meta+ for 3 months.

Games claimed for "free" through the subscription are only accessible with an active subscription.

$30 credit for those that use a friend link prior to device setup (it's a ban-able offense on SD to post/request such links but check Reddit)

ALL SALES ARE TARGETED meaning they could offer 50% off to one account and no sale for another.

When buying games check for developer links to save a flat 15-20% when no active sale on the game.

You're going to want a better strap and there's 2 or 3 great options for under $100. Some have hot swap batteries.

If yoi have glasses or a stigmatism there are snap on prescription lenses you for $20 on sites or $50 direct from Meta.

The max credit you can attain per year is $599 (anything $600+ is taxable)

The 4th gen headset is expected 2026/2027

There's free 3rd party software like OcularMigraine that improves visuals at the cost of battery life.

The games with PCVR need the Meta app for PC and many others recommend Virtual Desktop when on sale.

You do not need to link FB/IG to your account can use a normal email account.

If you mess up the $30 link you have 7 days to click a $30 link and factory reset your headset and go through initial setup to get it. Otherwise you need a good bit of personal info from the other person for support to process it. Sometimes there's a promo for $60 credit so check the app.

I'm sure there is info I forgot like there's no crossbuy and if you see it that means it gives you a Meta PC copy you need the app to play.

360 videos through the YouTube app are not true 4K and should be downloaded to view uncompressed.

Rechargeable batteries for the controllers are a must as they take 1 AA each.

Activate 2 factor authentication and set a pin for purchases to minimize accidents. There is a small return window for purchases but YMMV with support.

Those with GeForceNow can use it with the headset but the experience is not amazing yet.

Do NOT expose headset or lenses to direct or reflected sunlight (use a cover)

If you owned a Quest2 and purchase a Quest3 you may still be able to get the $30 activation credit.

Do NOT leave the headset charging for hours unsupervised or with 3rd party plugs/cables

Always read reviews as Most Recent and check online for in dept reviews.

I've accidentally punched my headset during a vr workout and thankfully it was fine but mind your surroundings.

Meta+ is not needed to use the headset (my 3 month trial just ran out)

edit: Only use a dry microfiber cloth to clean your lenses or risk removing the anti glare coating

edit2: Batman game extended through December 2026 (reddit says it can be redeemed with this offer but it's just a person on the internet)

I have the MQ3 512gb, and I leave it charged all the time and a battery pack charging while playing. Haven't had an issue.

Quote from Enzo954 :
Quest 3 is dope. I use the thing almost every day. Even just chilling in virtual environments watching HD movies, 3D movies, Youtube etc. is amazing. If you can download some High Quality 3D movies, they look unreal in this headset. Even jumping into people's rooms that host and stream live events like UFC or Boxing where everyone has their own avatars and can talk with each other is next level. Definitely get an aftermarket Halo strap for comfort. I also removed the facial interface, so the unit doesn't even touch my face. It's like wearing a baseball cap and the screen just hangs in front of my eyes. Super comfortable. It blows my mind how people don't buy these things.
You definitely sold me on this. Thanks for the tips.

Technology still isn't there with the Quest 3. Image is too grainy with visible pixels. It reminded me of the old Google Cardboard and using it with a Nexus 5 screen strapped to your face. Had to return it due to eye strain after trying a lot of remedies suggested online.

In case someone is on the fence we got our son a Quest 3 with free trial subscription for his 14th birthday. He played it for about a week and hasn't picked it up since (7 months now). We did not continue the sub due to this. He is on xbox almost daily. Our experience has been that these VR sets are still very much a gimmick and isolating to the user compared to all other gaming options available. I regret spending that much money on this item.
sell it on marketplace and recoup some money. Every kid is different, every person is different. I know plenty of people who play vr daily.

This system pretty decent when comparing to competitors?
There's nothing like wireless VR, and in addition to onboard games, you can also stream wirelessly from your PC.

Should add that you shouldn't wipe your lenses down with anything wet because it will ruin the anti glare coating. Dry microfiber cloth only.

I opt for the lenses that go over the lenses and a face cover to protect it. I've only needed to wipe my lenses a handful of times. I'll add your advice to the list

This may technically come with arkham shadow too since Meta extended redemption to December 31, 2026.

Meta+ is useful to try a bunch of new games(you'll get 3 free months with the 3s), the 3 is objectively better than the 3s due to processor, lenses, color pass through.

$150 price difference +tax (I went with the 3 at Target for $430 after tax when some coupons worked for it)

If anyone has an update purchasing this it'd be great to know if it came with arkham shadow

Edit: Reddit says it does come with Batman and the quest+ for a year
