The original Quest3 has amazing lenses. 3s is a huge downgrade in that regard.

I hear the 3 is a big jump from 2 clarity wise...but hell I barely ever use my 2 so I'll skip this gen and see what cooks for next gen.
2 is black and white in the mixed reality (what the camera sees). 3 and 3s are colored
2 isn't mixed reality at all. You are talking about the pass through.

Same, I'm waiting for the Meta Quest 4 in hopes that they might finally move on to oled....That and also when their software gets fixed as I've been having annoying buggy issues with my meta quest 2 ever since they started move to their new OS

Not a chance. They will send new units marked as refurb. Think they want to deal with the return hassles?

I still enjoy using my Oculus Quest 2, 64gb version. I like the standalone stuff, but once in awhile I do the wireless connection to my new desktop PC. It looks so good on PC games. If my OQ2 crashed on me now I would replace it with exactly this. The 3 is better in my opinion than the 3S. Better lenses. And this comes with a 2 year warranty through All-State. Lenses should be perfect. I'd expect a little cosmetic stuff on outside plastic shell.

OLED would be a mistake. I own an Apple Vision Pro. While OLED is great for movies, you can't move your head or body without OLED screens blurring. games aren't as playable on OLED, if at all. MicroLED or mini LED would be better

smelling all the previous user's sweat and stench in the headbands will contribute to the already dizzying experience of VR

Are you saying I shouldn't be getting anl good oled tv for gaming (even tho it's the only TV to look like a real life image therefor the only TV worth getting)? Or are you saying Zuck uses a 99 cent oled screen that sucks? Cause I was gonna get an oled tv for sure but seems wasteful if all I'll ever really use it for is gaming

Is it possible to get this after I placed an order? Does the referral apply when creating an account?

is this worth the jump from paying $190 for the quest 2 many years ago? almost double the price.
It's leaps and bounds above the 2.

Never owned a VR device before. So between 3 and 3S (for example the Costco bundle)
  • Is the extra storage important in day to day use? Is 128/256gb sufficient?
  • Is it worth getting the bundle for the 12 month meta subscription? How important it is to have that subscription?
