The successor to the popular Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headset has just been announced. Mark Zuckerberg revealed the Meta Quest 3, which is a "next-gen" VR device, promising twice the power over the previous headset. Meta promises that the Quest 3 will also be more comfortable than the 2, with a slimmer profile. It'll also support hand-tracking right out of the box, so you can use it without any controllers. The Quest 3 is set to launch this fall for $499.99, and with its release, Meta will be giving the previous generation Quest 2 a price drop to $299.99.

To buy or not to buy, that is the question…

Need to wait for reviews… Battery life, IPD, and PC quality are the big three concerns for me.

If you care for yourself or anyone in your house hold. You don't buy it. They collect, a lot of data.

The who? The what?

Yes yes. I’ve played this game before.

I want zuck to go away.

Like bruh, I just want to be able to play through half life Alyx without needing almost three grand for a goddamn 4090 and valve index just to even try. I literally can't even care about anything else on VR.

No thanks. I'd be more happy to give my data to those sketchy survey sites.

No question. Not.

Meta will be giving the previous generation Quest 2 a price drop to $299.99.

So they will just restore the original price since they had upped it by $100?

I don't want the zucc, thanks.

Mark Zuckerberg just can give up this reality bullshit. Good tho, its the slow death of Facebook and Instagram.

Facebook account still required? If so, no sale.

I like my Quest 2 but I hate that Mark is forcing me to use his shit platform.

The Meta's bored thing...

VR is cool and hand-tracking makes it that much more immersive.

For me, the only problems are the lack of high-quality video games and this attempt at exclusivity between PSVR, Occulus, Steam etc. Why the fuck can't I play Resident Evil 4 VR on PC? It is just dumb and part of the reason why VR is struggling. Yes I know I could download third party programs but that is not the point.

Literally the only reason I made a dumb Facebook account was cause my school, for some reason, required it. Once I was done school I deleted it.

As much hate as this thing gets it will sell. Much like beats products.

Ehhh… Beats are garbage though… They offer literally nothing the competitors can’t give, usually at a better price too. Not much competition for the Quest lineup (except for maybe the Pico but it’s not officially available in the states for some dumb reason).

Yes but they sell because of the fan base behind the name.

A meta account is required now, not a Facebook account anymore.
