Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

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

I have a Quest 3 that my kids use once in a while and was looking to get a 2nd one. Should I wait for a Quest 3 deal or jump on this 3S deal? Would be used by my kids ages 9 and 11.

your kids would likely not care about the difference in pixel quality or colored pass through. Be sure to use your own code so you can get $30 and they can get $30

on the Q2 you should be able to use a cable and do pcvr and people tend to use virtual desktop. The prices for a gpu are a bit high these days.The pancake lenses on the Q3 (not the s) help reduce the screen door effect and the color pass through is okay and there's low latency over 5ghz. Batman game is pretty cool but haven't gotten back to it.There are some games that wont run well on the Q2 but sometimes people use Quest Games Optimizer to get a little more processing power for battery life. Playing pcvr you won't run into those issues really.The new SteamVR goggles are coming in 2026 along with the SteamMachine so if you can wait why not?

There are games that can literally only be played on a Quest 3 (Batman, Deadpool, Assassin's Creed, etc.). That's what you'll be missing. I'm considering this just for that.

they may either push it out to compete with the SteamVR goggles in 2026 or at their own pace in 2027 pending how much things cost.

This or the Costco deal for $200? How much is Batman worth if you bought separately?

If you want to do PCVR, you may want to skip the Quest 3 and hold out for the Steam Frame; it's specifically designed to run Steam games locally and stream games from your PC.
