Good while it lasted. Son got this for chritmas and on jan 5th the headset was giving an overheating alert amd the one controller never tracked correctly. Had to return it. It is unavailable. Hopefully whenever it is back in stock the next one doesn't give that alert. We had no extra covering on the headset.

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.

Great tech but comes with physical side affects. Headache, dizzy, and nausea. Very heavy on the head. Battery doesn't last long. Probably why you see extra battery packs on the market.

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.

Only saying because I own both. But the oculus 3 gets hot and you can feel the heat. Something that close to my son’s face and it could blow up and gets hot?? My son could play the oculus 2 for hours and it not get hot. And the oculus 3 is double the price of the 2. I got it brand new and not really happy with 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)
