    This was my First experience with VR and I was pretty mind blown I didn’t realize we had tech like this, pretty fun for watching movies and any type of media but honestly not a fan of Vr gaming.

    Overall, I have experienced positive and negative experiences as this device is still early in its release. It can be glitchy and sometimes the unit doesn’t charge appropriately when connected to PC or streaming.i think once they get the bugs ironed out it will be a really great headset.

    There is a twist. The Quest 3 will likely bring you joy when you first open it. It looks great! It plays OK too for a stand alone headset. Expect most games to look like a kid designed it in Roblox, and if not that, they look like they were made by the same development template. There are some high quality games, but you can count them on both hands. First tip - everything is always being marked up and then back down to create a sense of a good deal. Most games run 5 - 40 dollars. Sales are run in a pattern so always hold out and dont buy them full price. Second tip - If you have a 3060 or equivelent and canrun OK games, get a Pico headset or some other designed for PCVR. The games are much better. Third tip - The controllers. At 11 months I started to get slight stick drift. At 14 months my Quest is pretty much unusable because the stick drift is interupting all other actions. For example, you click something and it doesnt do anything. You have to manually perfectly align the thumbstick back and click. It is a horrible experience. The nightmare is that you HAVE to have the remotes. Although it fully supports hand tracking, you can login without the remotes. The remotes can only be purchased through Meta and costs $75 a controller.

    Definitely not worth the money. The battery runs out in 30 min. The gaming quality is very low. NOT worth the $500.

      Hi there. Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Such a short battery life isn't at all something we want you to experience. Would you be able to get in touch with our support team so that we can look into this for you? Thanks! oculus

      Hey there Patrick!

      We completely understand where you're coming from!

      To reduce dizziness when using VR, we would highly recommend to start with short sessions and gradually increase play time as your body adjusts. As well as this, a proper headset fit and focus is key!

      Wishing you many hours of fun ahead with your new Meta Quest 3 and all the best! oculus

    Nicely made headset, just camera quality is not there. Bought thinking the pass through would be clear and look normal…. Incorrect, the pass through is very grainy and distorted, giving most people headaches when they try to use it

    I bought the Meta Quest 3 512GB — with Batman: Arkham Shadow and a 3-Month Trial of Meta Quest+ included. When the guy brought it (curbside), there was no indication of Batman or the 3-Month Trial being included. I pointed that out: "Oh, that's all inside!" It didn’t sound right to me, so I went inside the store, and I was told the same thing. I went home, of course, with no Batman, no 3-month trial, and no email with codes to redeem any of this. I went back to the store and talked to the manager, who had some suggestions but no other solution than contacting Meta. Why do I have to do all this? I contacted Meta, and the first person said I had to sort this out with Best Buy. I contacted Best Buy via chat (it is terrible that you cannot call the store directly anymore), and the guy offered me a $50 compensation gift card. It wasn’t good enough because 3 months of Meta Quest+ and Batman cost more than that. I contacted Meta again, the case was escalated, and finally, I got what I wanted. But I literally spent hours (driving, waiting, talking, chatting online). Of course, there was no compensation for that. Lots of words with no meaning, no value. A terrible experience - my last in-store visit purchase. (The Quest 3 itself is a great product - 1 star for the terrible Best Buy purchase and support experience)

    Not really good quality. When I tried watching YouTube it was kind of blurry. It was good for movies but not so much for watching on the web.

    The Meta Quest 3 is wonderful. However, I could not play for a long time as I was getting motion sickness and headaches constantly. Unfortunately, due to health concerns, I had to return it. :(
