Not much has changed except being able to see the room better. Only a few new games that can be played on it. It’s definitely not worth the price because it’s not a lot different than the quest 2. And the controllers are super annoying if you’re an adult and have bigger hands, and i have smaller hands.

As a user for the past year of the Meta Quest 2, I was excited to upgrade to the Meta Quest 3 and check out all the new features!
I have to say, as soon as I put the headset on, I could tell a difference. It was a lot more comfortable to wear, the way the headband works is confusing at first and it felt way to loose, but once you pull those two straps outwards towards your ears, the headset sat nice and snug on my head. The Quest 2 would almost pull my forehead back, making me have my eyes open wider than I wanted, but this Quest 3 is so much more comfortable. And it's not as heavy on your head either. It wasn't cumbersome at all.
When you power it on - man - what a difference! The visuals are so crystal clear, so sharp! And one of the other things you notice is the full color passthrough to your environment. That in itself makes a massive different to your experience of wearing the headset. The menus are so sharp and crisp, they look phenomenal.
Now one thing I noticed right away is that the menus are controlled slightly differently with the controllers to the previous Quest 2 which took a little getting used to, but you also have the ability to control the on screen actions with just your hands now, which is wild! You can point and touch and the headset tracks your hands and allows you to point and click and scroll with your hands! You can pinch and grab the menus, it's absolutely fantastic technology.
The experience with the headset on really transforms you to another world, be it a virtual world where you are standing on top of a skyscraper, challenging your vertigo, or if you are fully immersed in the Batman Arkham Shadow world, you are really transported to that environment! With 512GB of onboard storage as well, not only can you download the game that's included in this version of the Meta Quest 3, but you have the option to store and download so many other titles from the vast array available. My previous Quest 2 only had 128GB of onboard storage, so this expands on that greatly.
The color pass through really helps you have an truly interactive experience with your environment. You can play games that have monsters and zombies actually coming at you in your living room from a 'hole' in your living room wall. Something the Quest 2 couldn't do as the passthrough was very grainy and black and white. However, while the color passthrough on the Quest 3 is a giant leap forward, I still found that if my eyes were moving around a lot, the passthrough was still somewhat grainy or blurry, but if my eyes stopped and focused on one area, that it would look great.
Talking of the opticals, they are a complete step above the previous generation. They are so comfortable to look through, the focus is easy with the buttons on the bottom of the headset, and you can adjust them totally to your liking. However, I did notice that you do NOT get a cover for the optics at all, unlike the previous generation that did come with a cover to protect them.
There are plenty of aftermarket options for charging the headset, but you do get a charging cable and a power brick included to get you up and running.
There is also the Meta Quest app, that you can use to communicate and stream to your TV which works really well, stay up to date on the latest games and experiences available to you as well, so you never miss out.
Another experience that you may not have considered is the ability to watch a movie inside a movie theater, while sat on your couch. The experience is phenomenal, projecting an extremely large screen in front of you, with crystal clear visuals!
The overall upgrade from the Meta Quest 2 to the Meta Quest 3 is totally worth it! The controllers have been redesigned, they are slightly smaller and don't have the hoop that goes over your hand making them more convenient to hold and control. The fact that the headset is lighter and more comfortable is great too.
Battery life - you are more than likely going to want to get a battery extender. I played for a little over a hour straight right out of the box after charging it and it was at about 37% battery life left, so if you want to play for a couple of hours or more, then you will want a battery extender.
Overall, extremely happy with this upgrade, it's nice to unwind at the end of the day and be transported to another world, be it full of mayhem in the Batman game, or in the tranquility of an art studio, creating a 3D sculpture in front of you!
