It's certified factory refurbished by Meta. I ordered Monday and had it in hand Wednesday, and it was clearly never used. If the seals on the sides didn't have the refurbished print on them, I wouldn't have been able to tell. Plus you get Allstate 2 year warranty, which is nice.

I try to post this helpful info when I see sales. (Refurbs may not get the free game or activation credit) **CURRENTLY $60 THROUGH DECEMBER 31ST**.

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 (May be available to you pending package image)

I own a Quest 3

Is this refurbished or used? Big difference with VR headsets. A refurb should have a new face pad.

Can you use these to just work on your computer?
I know that's not typical but I have a hard time seeing my computer even though I keep getting my glasses changed.

Yeah, it's practically new and it delivered fast! I got the following accessories on Black Friday: YOGES 10000mAh Battery Head Strap and KIWI design V3 Facial Interface (from Amazon), Meta Quest Carrying Case (from Woot!) and VR-rock magnetic prescription lenses.

Very few of these will ever have been used since VR Pron is fewer and fewer. (My friend told me)

You can using a few different software options both wireless and wired, but there's a good chance it would fatigue your eyes more than just a normal monitor. I can stare at my monitors for 8 hours a day without too much eye strain, but over 2 hours of VR on my quest 3 is enough to make me bleary eyed. You would also need to upgrade the headband for any real extended wear.

You would need to get prescription inserts for the headset. Even though the screen is right in front of your eyes, if you're nearsighted it will simulate like you're looking at something far away.

Also, while you could use it to simulate big monitors, I wouldn't really recommend it for long sessions. It's rather heavy on your face and can cause eye strain. It's still more comfortable to look at regular monitors in real life than doing everything in headset.

I bought one a few days ago and it was in new condition. I tried to find a stain/scratch anything that would let me know it was used before and i found nothing. The only down side of this refurbished meta is that you dont get the free game, meta+ subscription, and you dont get referral credit($30) when someone send you the link before you set it up the vr.

So if you dont want the game or free meta subscription then its a good price. I got it for $360 + taxes - 20% paypal cashback.

Did your PayPal 20% rewards post in your account right away? I bought something else and it hasn't posted yet and PP customer service said it could take up to 90 days but I'll return the item before then because I need to know the rewards posted before the return window ends for what I bought
