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).

Did they do it for you? My agent wouldn't.
Yes, I received a credit a couple days after. Try again since I had to be transferred to what seemed like a supervisor.

You're selling yourself short if you buy this one (3S). Get the full version Quest 3 much better clarity
Agreed. But I can only afford the Corolla, not the Lexus. Especially for kiddo use.

I bought this in-store, is the box supposed to mention the Walking Dead game bundle at all? Mine does not. I haven't opened it yet, still deciding if I want to keep it.

Also haven't been able to get the ref app credits to work, seems somehow any account I make is blacklisted or something, everyone's link just gives an error.

Edit: got the ref to work by using my phone on cellular to log in. I also noticed my account had English (UK) as the keyboard option, maybe that was blocking it too. Opened it up and see the Walking Dead app is free for me on the store.
I have the same question. Mine doesn't have any mention of the Walking Dead game on the box, were you able to find the game redeem code inside? I am not sure if they just sent me a s3 headset without the game. Now they change the product page and remove any reference to the Walking dead bundle.

Were you able to get the Walking Dead app from the store?
