Super fun and entertaining games that get you moving. Might get motion sickness but after you figure out how long you can play everything is so much fun.

I upgraded from the Guest 2. The Quest 2 in itself is a amazingly good VR headset, and the Quest is even better! If youreon the fence, buy it! I bought it for my son but I use it as much as he does! Beat Saber must!

Meta Quest 3 is the best gaming experience that I have ever had. I highly recommend getting the 512GB system due to storage limitations on the 128GB system.

DON'T COUNT YOUR CHICKENS BEFORE THEY HATCH!

The Quest 3 512 GB virtual reality headset MIGHT be good, or why the egg is not always going to be a chicken.
My System, in a nutshell, if this makes any difference:
RAM: 32.0 GB
Graphics Card: AMD Radeon RX 6800 (16 GB)
Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X 8 core w/ 3.8 GHz
Windows 10, at the time, but I'm upgrading soon, and my system has 5.01 TBs of storage some of which is solid state.
I've wanted to have VR capability for years.
My quest (get it?) for virtual reality began years ago.
I did a lot of research into finding out which headsets to buy. I waited, over much time, for technology to improve and for prices to settle down a bit.
So, in August of 2025, I bought the Quest 3 512 GB VR headset (this is the chicken part.)
I also bought a proper USB cable, to possibly aid in hook up, and a battery pack, because I read that these are power hungry critters.
The Quest 3 512 GB seemed to be the right equipment, at the right time, for my initial foray into the virtual reality experience.
All equipment purchased was endorsed by the Best Buy staff.
The fun stopped as I began the set up (this is the egg hatching part.)
I figured you plug it into the computer and the set up would be automatic, like when you buy a new mouse, or keyboard, or microphone, or camera, or anything else you plug into the USB port on your computer ... even wirelessly ... BUT the headset wouldn't hook up automatically.
You need to be able to scan a QR code, which my computer's cam seemed to do, AND the Quest 3 was in my system's inventory, but the Quest 3 system would not finalize the hook up. I spent hours trying different ways to hook up my new vr headset ... but to no avail.
The hook up directions should be a little more informative and shouldn't rely on a QR code.
The Quest 3, if I'm not mistaken, is able to operate wirelessly ... BUT I had a proper USB cable just in case !!!
Maybe one needs a cellphone for this QR code scanning?
If so, I don't use cellphones ...
... THERE !!! I SAID IT !!!
... and I did scan the code with my computer cam.
I shouldn't have to use a cell phone for anything other than to call my Mom to ask for money, or to order pizza in impromptu fashion, while on the road ... after I pull off safely, of course .
AND NO PERSON OR ORGANIZATION OR COMPANY SHOULD ASSUME WE ALL HAVE CELLPHONES OR THAT WE WANT TO USE THEM FOR ANYTHING OTHER THAN CALLING, as I said earlier !!!
The Quest 3 MAY BE a fine piece of equipment ...
(some say it really isn't better than the Quest 2 ... most reviews seem to say that all these headsets are power hungry, so the extra battery pack seems prudent)
... BUT IT WON'T HOOK UP TO MY SYSTEM.
Of course I returned everything. Maybe YOU will buy this as an open box special.
IF, IF, IF, I ever do this again, I suppose I will have to hire someone to do the hook up.
Sorry for all the shouting, but I wanted to get this off my chest ... and remember, not all eggs become chickens.

If you're one of those people who thinks "oh I'll wait till VR gets like... REALLY good before I make the plunge"
My friend, this is it.
It really is "breakthrough" from how far we've come.
I think back to the cardboard devices you could put a phone in for intro VR. Now it's just all in a headset, no wires or having to position cameras.
Will advise to get a different head strap, as the provided is not comfortable for anything longer than ~30 min
It's so much fun, and updates keep providing more features even still.

I got this as a gift for my daughter for her bday and had no idea what it actually was. I ordered kinda late and was worried I would t get it in time and it came ON HER BDAY!! I was so excited!! Once I set it up I realized why it’s so much lol it’s absolutely crazy good!! My favorite thing about it is I can cast it onto my tv while she plays in her room so I can hear and see who she interacts with and what’s going on. Definitely happy with my purchase and excited to see all the different features!!

I was so excited to upgrade my VR‘s. However, I wanted to make sure that the upgrade was worth it so I wanted to try them on. I went to several stores and was not able to try my VR gear on before I purchased. And then when I thought about Best Buy, I was like I would be. Should be able to try it there. So I went. I was able to try to be yours on the upgrade was definitely worth the money and I was happy to purchase from there. And the customer service was excellent.

I purchased this for my daughter for Christmas. She loved it. She plays Roblox and said she feels like she's in the game. She was afraid to play because it appeared so real. I lobe it also I play when she's at school. It is great exercise. One of .y favorite games to play is Tennis. It appears so real, I foumd myself screaming because the tennis balls were coming too fast
lol! Great gift.

Very good VR headphone, especially for the price and it comes with Batman game. It is very open, the only thing I didn't like was the stock strap and face grip, which I replaced with AMVR and Kiwi and made it very comfortable now. Also, added grip with again from AMVR made it really really easier to use.
