The Apple Vision Pro is still the new VR headset right now, but it costs a hefty $3,499 price that puts it out of reach for most people. The latest Meta Quest 3 is a great alternative, and while it certainly isn’t the same beast as Apple’s spatial computer, it’s still a great VR headset at a price that makes this purchase easier on your wallet.
Because the Meta Quest 3 is still relatively new, deals are hard to come by. But buying the 128GB version will net you a free game, while the 512GB model will also get you Meta Quest Plus for six months. The game and subscription add up to about $100, so it’s a good deal if you look at it from that perspective.
Unlike the Meta Quest 2, the Quest 3 embraces both virtual-reality and mixed-reality experiences in a way that’s similar to the Apple Vision Pro and last year’s Quest Pro. It costs a lot less than both of those devices, though, which immediately gives it quite the appeal.
Other improvements over its predecessor include a new Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, better graphics, a higher-resolution display and improved controllers.
We’ll continue to update this collection of Meta Quest 3 offers as more become available, so if nothing grabs you right now, check back later.
