I like that deal better. Gorilla Tag is a free game anyway. The Batman game is very well reviewed and the storage could be useful.

For anyone on the fence abouat the 3 vs the 3s, I'll weigh in... I bought the 3s b/c it was cheaper. I returned it and got a 3, even though it was a little more. The difference is WELL worth the money. The 3 is massively superior in display - I guess primarily due to the lenses. If cost is of over-riding importance the 3s is cheaper, but strong recommendation to hold out for a time when you can get the 3.

When I asked a quest owner if he still used his quest...

His response was yeah, but not for games.

Is this primarily a porn device?

Nah, Golf Plus. Single most therapeutic experience you can have in the home not involving nudity

Brings tears to my eyes that you'd cover for a stranger.

Target has the same deal but i was able to scoop up the Batman bundle. Saved a few bucks by using my Red Card as well. My son and I are excited to jump back into the world of VR after being without a VR headset for a few years.

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)
