Q: Will I be able to use it with PC. Do you need a special cord to link them?
A: You no longer need the link cord. The built in Air Link works over W-Fi. Virtual Desktop does the same probably a little better. The cable really kills the untethered immersiveness. I play Steam VR games alkl the time on my Q2 and Q3. Half-Life Alyx is amazing!
Q: If I buy the 512gb version does it come with the 6months of quest+?
A: I only got a 1 month trial offered. Even though the e-mail says claim your 6 month Quest+ trial, when I click on it, it only offers a 1 month trial and I think this is a rip off by both Best Buy and Quest. These needs to be fixed. If you make an offer, then it should be carried through.
A: You can use both quest 2 and quest 3 together with one account and both will have the same exact games and apps but generally, you can't play one game at the same time on both quest.
A: Yes Netflix, YouTube, Amazon, Peacock, Pluto, and Starz have VR apps. They mainly give you the feeling of sitting in a theater in front of a large screen. I think Amazon Prime probably is the highest quality but none really rival a great 4K TV. They are pretty darn cool though.
Q: How do I get the wrath game that comes with the bundle
A: I unlocked mine via the meta app. After registering the headset the game store-page purchase icon just allowed me to redeem it. The game is not currently out at the time of this answer so you won't be able to play it yet.
Q: Will it play Quest 2 games?
A: Yes all of them. Some download higher quality versions.
Q: Does this come with the 6-month trial subscription of Meta Quest+?
A: Yes as long as you buy it buy the end of 2023
Q: Does it come with a glasses spacer?
A: The quest 3 does not have a separate glass spacer. It has a built-in glass spacer which allows you to expand the space by pressing a button inside the headset and adjust the it to your desired mode.

Meta Quest 3 (500GB) Review
Meta Quest 3 (500GB) Review The Meta Quest 3 is a game-changer in VR and mixed reality, offering cutting-edge performance, stellar visuals, and unmatched versatility. With its sleek, lightweight design, improved comfort, and balanced weight distribution, it’s built for long sessions without fatigue. The visuals are breathtaking, thanks to high-resolution pancake lenses (2064 x 2208 per eye) and a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Colors pop, textures are sharp, and the new mixed reality passthrough provides a crisp, full-color view of your surroundings, blending the virtual and physical worlds seamlessly. Powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip, the Quest 3 delivers lightning-fast performance with no lag, and the 500GB storage ensures plenty of room for large games like Asgard’s Wrath 2 and Population: One. The Touch Plus controllers feel ergonomic and responsive, and hand tracking is impressively accurate for a controller-free experience. Backward compatibility with Quest 2 games provides instant access to a massive library, now enhanced for the Quest 3’s hardware. Mixed reality apps, like VR workspaces and interactive gaming experiences, feel like a glimpse into the future. Battery life ranges from 2-3 hours, which is decent, though an external battery pack is recommended for marathon sessions. Overall, the Quest 3 redefines standalone VR with its sharp visuals, robust performance, and incredible storage capacity. It’s a must-have for anyone serious about immersive tech, and the 500GB model ensures you’re ready for everything VR and MR have to offer. I love it and can’t recommend it enough.

Great headset! Love it! Visually clear images!
I mainly use this for streaming PCVR over Virtual Desktop, but have enjoyed taking it with me. The Good: Fantastic visual quality. Huge upgrade over a Quest 2! Audio Quality is pretty good without headphones! I mean, it's going to lack the bass but everything else is pretty good. Increasing library of games. Lots of storage for games, I sideload apps on here and I just don't have to think about storage space. I have all sorts of custom content for Synth Riders and Beat Saber, it's not even sweating with over 200GB space taken. Controllers are a great upgrade over the Quest 2. No annoying ring, they feel nicer, and the battery compartment is so much easier to open by just pressing a little button versus convening with the gods to slide the battery tray in the right direction. The stock strap isn't awful, honestly. There's a decent chance you'll be okay with it. The Bad: Battery life. This thing eats power. If you stream PCVR, you're going to want a 20W battery bank. I have a big 30,000mah pack that's on a waist strap with a cord going up to it. It'll drain 10% of that per hour. Make that 30%/hr for normal 10,000mah packs. The quest itself will drain within 2-3 hours. The stock strap isn't the best for long hours or those with high cheek bones. The headset will rest on your cheeks which could be uncomfortable after a few hours. I got a third-party band and immediately felt a good difference. Would I recommend it over a Quest 2? For the price, only if you're an enthusiast or just want the visual clarity boost. Thing are just really crisp. If you're fine with your Quest 2 and only play it like an hour or two every now and then, just stick with it. It's a pretty pricey entry. But it's a great headset worth it's price. The battery situation is its only flaw. It's just very power hungry. External battery needed for any serious play. The battery is what has me docking a star.

Best vr headset I've used
This thing is awesome, not only is it really fun to play games on, but it's a great workout, and has a lot of cool quality of life features to use it without accidentally breaking things since the pass through mode works really well letting you see your surroundings by double tapping the side. Now 2 things I disliked were the stock head strap, the thing sucks really bad and isn't comfortable, 2nd thing was the battery life. Both of which I solved by purching a better one on Amazon with a built in backup battery that triples the playtime you can get out of it. Aside from that I also highly recommend vr wave if you wear glasses because while you do have the room to fit your prescription on while wearing these, depending on your frames, it can get uncomfortable with so having custom lenses for your vr is a dream come true
