[TR/DR] Edit: The below is a warning for anybody trying to "get cute" and bypass the meta requirements. If you have a Sam's subscription it is likely worth the price for this headset (assuming you want a meta VR headset).[TR/DR]
Don't expect to avoid the "you must have a meta subscription" to use this device. It is possible to get a developer's subscription (free, real name not needed) and use sideloading via sidequest (and I've managed to sideload steamVR and playVR, my two "must have" apps), but so far I can't manage to install any apps from the meta store even after adding a meta (real name) account (granted this was for a quest2, but most of the account issues are the same).
Note that most of the apps that sidequest lists really have to be installed from the meta store.
If you don't try any such shenannigans, I expect the device to mostly work as promised. Unless meta decides to brick your device, then you're stuck.

Must have been a price error previously that has now been corrected. If it continues to show as 249, then this is still a better deal than this same version with a case on Amazon, but not as good as with the previous price error.

I'm not exactly following you, I have a quest 2 with a fake name Meta account that I've used to buy games for my quest 2, are you saying I will no longer be able to use this account to get games for the quest 3? Is this an issue with sidequest?

They can ban you for the fake name. It isn't clear how often they apply that.
My issues with sidequest involve how little it contains and how much you have to do to your headset to even use it. I suspect that all I have to do is change certain privacy settings, but I can't begin to find them on my new account. I can't recommend using sidequest.
