The Apple Vision Pro is still the new VR headset on the block, but it comes with a hefty $3,499 price tag that puts it out of reach for most people. The latest Meta Quest 3 is a great alternative and while it’s certainly not a beast like Apple’s spatial computer, it’s still a great VR headset at a price that won’t make the eyes water.
Because Meta Quest 3 is still relatively new, deals are hard to come by. But buying the 128GB version will get 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 virtual-reality and mixed-reality experiences, similar to the Apple Vision Pro and last year’s Quest Pro. It costs a lot less than both devices, however, which immediately gives it a huge advantage.
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 catches your eye right now, check back later.
