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 10-20% 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
I haven't played mine in months as I await the Steam Frame
I own a Quest 3 and there's a annoying credit bug.
Most games are under 10GB but some are beefy and take up 40-60GB so play and delete games as you go through them

Be aware if you buy this you will not own it.
I bought a meta quest 3 and turned off updates. It updated anyway. Now it will not launch sideloaded apps unless connected to the internet. If this worked this way when i bought it, I would not have returned it, but the return window has closed. I am now forced to not allow it on the internet at all. So I only use it for PCVR games.
It would be like if you bought a car and after the last payment the car dealer came in smashed your door in the saying it was more secure. And it was in the terms of service that you agreed to have your car updated. I mean less people are going to steal a car that door smashed in it can't be open right? I should be happy right?
edit. refurbs are not eligible for the $30 referral program.

The quest 3 512g is on marketplace all the time used for 200-25p. Much better for the money even used. Ive found 3 in the past month for all my fiends to play Golf+. Go thay route instead
I have a 3s and I gotta say it is a great headset for the price. The 3 I've heard is a lot better but also a lot more, so for this price tag it's a great introduction to VR. I recommend it, and on sale this is a pretty cool deal. Good luck you guys!
