I try to post this helpful info when I see sales.

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 there is 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.(examples kiwi, globular, boboVR)

If you have glasses or a stigmatism 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 2026/2027

There's free 3rd party software like OcularMigraine that improves visuals at the cost of battery life. Others like Quest Games Optimizer have a price associated along with 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/cables

Always read reviews as Most Recent and check online for in depth 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 ran out)

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

Batman game extended through December 2026

I own a Quest 3

Absolutely fantastic price for an amazing headset. While most people will never need the 512gb, it's worth it to have especially if you use the Meta+ subscription. If you have a good computer just use VirtualDesktop app and stream games from your PC over wifi for even higher quality/texture/etc experience. Worth every penny if you're remotely into VR.
Top game I recommend (as cheesy as it sounds) -- Walkabout Mini Golf -- It's greater than it sounds, has a great community, and great dev team.

I ordered one on the first post a couple a days ago. Shipping was fast in 2 days but they sent me the wrong one. They sent me the meta quest 3s 128gb instead of the meta quest 3 512gb.

I reached out to customer support and they said they couldn't exchange it to just send it back get my refund and re order it if I'd like.

Hope everyone who buys has better luck than I did!

Highly recommend the BoboVR S3 Pro battery headstrap. It has a fan that really helps. Also I replaced the facial interface. Don't have a recommendation there cause it is personal preference and I'm using some generic one.

Yes, you can! 4XVR player in Meta store seems to be best for this: https://www.meta.com/experiences/...899722707/

You do need 512GB. My 128gb filled up quick. Stupid Meta sometimes auto download random games without my permission.
Correct I barely play my 128gb, don't buy any games ever because of space. Some games just spiral out of control how big they are update after update; they really should allow external storage (they refuse to so they can try to scare buyers into the more expensive model) or mandate dlc to be separate downloads and not part of the full game. Meta is just not the best place to be for VR imo, even if the lenses are pretty good.

I am another unlucky one. I received mine yesterday. The scroll button had issue scrolling one way and the facial interface had issue adjusting distance on the left side. Reached out to meta store on eBay and was told could only get a refund not replacement. I decided to return it and get the Costco bundle instead.

You certainly can't use it to watch your blu-rays. you can use it to watch rips. That can get complicated. There are one or two one-step software solutions that cost money, and a handful of 2 step solutions that don't. They can take a while depending on your hardware. And then there's the torrenting. But it's hard to find full res movies (known as full sbs). Many viewers in Quest can display half and full-sbs in MKV format. I think only one paid program allows full-sbs ISO file.

Then there are services to watch 3d movies streamed.

If you do watch them on the Quest 3, I generally find the picture far more immersive. HOWEVER, the picture quality is slight, though noticeably lower with FULL-SBS and awful with half-sbs (DVD quality?).
