Wait for the 3 deal. It's significantly better.

I keep seeing comments about the 3s not being worth it and the 3 being worth paying double the price. I'm here to chime in with my own experience.
For some context, I am in my 40s, I don't wear glasses, and my prior experience with VR was with the original PSVR and those old Oculus/Samsung phone headsets. I hadn't used VR for 5 years since I got rid of my PS4.
I bought a new Quest 3s and a used Quest 3 within the past 3 weeks. I got the Quest 3s first and played with for several hours. Coming from the PSVR, this was a massive upgrade. The cordless experience, hand tracking, AR/Pass-thru experience are all pretty incredible. I enjoyed every minute of it. The only complaint I have about the headset is the strap. Probably anything is better. However, anyone wanting to get the best experience from the strap, watch the beginning of this short: https://youtube.com/shorts/-JFZ41...S-GM8PclJE
After hearing all the comments about the 3 being better, I went searching for a used one because I didn't want to spend a ton of money on a hobby that I'm just getting started on. I lucked out and found one with an elite strap for about what I paid for the 3s. I did some side by side comparisons, switching back and forth between the 3 and the 3s on the same apps/games (Beat Saber, Walkabout Minigolf, YouTube, and the Meta home).
The 3 has a greater field of view over the 3s. This certainly helps with the immersion and probably gives an edge in competitive gaming. The 3 also was noticeablely sharper, but the 3s is still plenty clear. That being said, I would still recommend the 3s over the 3 for most casual players that want to get into VR. It is very capable, having the same processing power. The deals have been better with more included software, there is an upgrade path if people feel the need to do so. If someone is more of an enthusiast or is really big into competitive gaming, going for the 3 is probably the way to go if they have the budget for it (or willing to buy used).

No, unless you buy the 256gb version, but then you won't have the walking dead game

For anyone who bought this with the $50 gift card recently. Try chatting with Best Buy and they should provide a $25 refund.

No guarantee that deal will come back. Buy this one but don't open it or use the gc, then return it if the 3 goes on sale again in the next few days. Also, make sure to find a friend to give you a $60 referral before you activate it.

Clarity is very important with VR, and this does not have good clarity, compared to the Quest 3.

You're selling yourself short if you buy this one (3S). Get the full version Quest 3 much better clarity

I can't ever decide what to do about a vr headset. Everyone says oled is so much better and I have an odyssey+ unopened that is worthless unless I sue windows 10 I guess. And only affordable current oled one is ps vr2 and people bash it for other reasons.
