Deal Details
Price drop from 2 days ago. Was $249.
Costco has the worst ecommerce site, so this product page is wrong price, wrong RAM, wrong SKU
You want Item #1773500

Is there a Costco code to items priced with .97 cents?
Discontinued?
Deleted?

YMMV
Good hunting.

Worth an upgrade from the Quest 2?
I believe if you wear glasses you can have custom lenses made for the 3

Plus the field of focused view may be wider.

How do you check warehouse inventory price in the app?

I'm in the app, it shows $299 online price, and it says my store name and:
In Stock Buy in Warehouse
Warehouse pricing may vary
In the app, tap the warehouse button on the bottom

Lenses make all the difference. If you can stretch, buy the Quest 3 instead. Extra 12 or so degrees of FOV and clearer picture make SO MUCH difference.

But if you can't afford, and you can find these, $200 would be an amazing price.

Agreed $200 is a fantastic price for this but you could also get the manufacturer refurbished q3 for $360 more storage better lenses etc . This price comes and goes on Metas eBay store

I try to post this helpful info when I see sales. (Refurbs may not get the free game or activation credit).

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

You can have prescription lenses for quest 2 too so it's not quest 3 only thing.

Must be new, cause I googled for the Quest 2 lenses when I got mine a couple of years ago and nothing came up.

Hey I think this is for the 128gb version, not 256gb. Still a great deal though!

This is 128 not 256. Target is 249 but you also get a $50 gift card, so the same price if someone doesn't have a Costco membership.

Requires a monthly $19.99 subscription for the Pr0nhub VR features.
That's just the cost of one lapdance, or at least it was precovid. Not sure what the tariffs have increased the price to now.
