Awesome Tips Meta Quest 3 Review: Great Upgrades, But We Need More New Apps
The Quest 3 is the best $500 VR headset, and mixed reality is kind of crazy. But there aren’t that many big new games for it yet, so you may still be ok with your Quest 2.

I wish reviewers would quit telling me what I can afford. “It’s a lot of money.” This is a totally subjective opinion, and doesn’t apply to everyone. Second, we know the apps and experiences will get better as developers have more time with the headset. So why wait? Is it going on sale anytime soon? No. So what’s the point of waiting?
Another great review, Scott! I think I'm going to do it just for the lenses. The fresnel effect with other headsets is just way too distracting.
Can someone just please answer the question? How is the resolution watching movies and shows? Quest 2 is like 480p. Is Quest 720p? The same? Thank you
Prices need to come down, not keep going up. And the headset battery life needs to improve, most are not even getting 2 hours with the Q3.
Lots of good pivots to be the “SE” to Apple Vision Pro, but if it’s still using same version of apps as the previous model, there isn’t as much incentive to upgrade. Agree, the next few years will shape the industry and better competing products will push the devices forward. Let’s hope battery tech and the goal of making these devices smaller and lighter does come true.
What does that 3rd "dislike" even mean?
The iron man game is best
Play it everyday
How does this work for work related task? Would love to see a test of this feature.
Id absolutely love it if I could just connect Quest directly to my Steam Library without the need for a PC.
One question, how does Apple Vision Pro passthrough compare to Quest 3 passthrough? Is it much much better ?
I would get Quest 3 and only because it has Pancake lenses, imagine if psvr2 had pancake lenses !
So, does half life Alex look better in the Valve Index or Quest 3?
I have been waiting for these hands on reviews to finally come out!

yeah the software is what makes me pause. I can play COD, Doom Eternal, Bioshock, Borderlands on a switch, ps4, Xbox one X, but not a Quest 3? Where are the real AAA games that are 20 years old? Assassin's Creed is a decent start but they're just waaaay behind there. If it can run that Assassin's Creed game at the fidelity we're seeing, that means most any AAA game is possible. They're just not committed to it.
The battery life last more than the 3,500 Apple vision pro… This will be a hit device… Looking forward to holiday sales.
Just buy apple👌🏻
Trash
Can I use sony XM4 along with this Quest 3? Looks like it will be on top of each other
My complaints are the price and the battery life. Would be nice if price was closer to $300 and battery life was an hour or two longer
If it wasn't limited to the PS5, for the price, the PSVR2 is prolly still the best/
Since Facebook bought Oculus, it all went downhill and this just proves it. This device shouldnt represent what VR is all about.. wich for Meta seems to be selling a product in parts and without any effort put into it.
Ive been a vr guy since the q1 and i gladly got a quest 2. However i haven’t seen vr grow enough have and i dont see big problems like motion sickness being solved. At $500 im passing.
How does the image compare to the X-real AR glasses? My primary use case would be watching TV shows and movies in it (along with Walkabout mini golf and Demeo). I'm wondering if I should upgrade.
Mixed reality is not of much use to me. I want to ESCAPE reality for a while when I put my headset on. I would guess most people are the same. Mixed games may be fun for a few minutes, but putting the camera money into eye tracking or a better display would be preferred.
Also, Zenni is offering prescription lenses for this for 50 bucks US.
I would like to see Cnet do a livestream with the Virtual Reality play a few games give people some taste of what it is like.
Meta should consider bone conduction for hearing the sound of virtual world.
I'm excited to see what updates will it get down the road.
Great review Scott!!!
I wish the front panel was prettier… the camera holes are just not great looking!
A black /dark grey version would have been better (like the Original Quest).
I think it's always the issue with Meta when they released a new Quest, their ecosystems or apps are not ready… Quest 2 was released with not much new apps / os features versus Quest 1 (aside being a better hardware) … When Quest Pro was released, it was the same… And now with Quest 3, same!
Maybe Meta should also promote or do like google or apple with the OS update… big releases! And have one tied with the new hardware too!

It's so frustrating that NOBODY has reviewed this as a PC unit. I care zero for wireless in-built games and there are a ton of people who are buying this just for Steam.
