This is the best way to watch XXX, no one will be none the wiser of what you're doing while sitting in your cubicle or home office, but be careful, as your manager or wife will start to chew you out for not getting your work or house chores done in time.
Also, this was $349 at Target last year - 5% add'l discount for using Target debit card.

The audio would give it away as others can still hear that depending on level.

Who lets you wear VR at work?

Why have you not done your house chores first?

That Target deal was a price/promotion mistake for putting a sign on the Meta case that didn't specify it was only for the 3S version.

Something tells me that most folks will be severely disappointed in viewing most performers in close up, vr, 8k glory. Along the lines of a strip club with lights on.

Just be aware that the promotion for Batman has ended. If what you purchase has the Batman offer on the box, you can call Meta and they MAY honor it. I have read people have had success doing this.

I try to inform the Meta 3/S posts when I can with helpful information below.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. (Globular, BoboVR, Kiwi)If you have glasses or astigmatism there are snap on prescription lenses 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 2026/2027There's free 3rd party software like OcularMigraine that improves visuals at the cost of battery life. There are some paid like Quest Games Optimizer but they may need invasive permissions.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/cablesAlways 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.Only use a dry microfiber cloth to clean your lenses or risk removing the anti glare coating.Batman game extended through December 2026.
Do you like yours? I've had a lot of VR headsets throughout the years (most recently the PS VR 2) and while they almost always impress me I don't "get it" and they collect dust. Does MQ3 bring more to the table?

I purchased mine in November 2024 and I used it a ton till March and while I have games I haven't touched yet like Resident Evil.

I've only had an odyssey+ before the Quest 3 and it gives me the flexibility to not worry about my aging 1070ti mini as much and cordless is great.

If you're not wanting to drop $500 on this then wait for 2026/27 for the newest iterations
