Virtual Reality

I’m sorry, I totally skipped that part in your original post that you currently have a Quest 2, so you are familiar with some stuff.

I will say what I love about my Quest 3 over the 2:

• it’s much lighter in weight and you can immediately feel it on your face where it doesn’t feel like it slags forward as much
• I personally love the color pass through versus the black and white pass through. But some people on here have said they prefer black and white, so this isn’t a pro for everyone. I find it more useful since I can walk around without taking off the headset to see my surroundings like I did with my Quest 2. Some things just didn’t come across in b&w like they do in color. Before anyone says it, I know the Steam Frame is b&w, but the other pros mean more to me hence why I’m still moving to SF
• the quality is better. Not by a ton, but you can tell a difference in graphics quality between the two devices. It wasn’t enough to make me want to upgrade.
• was glad to get Batman VR which has been really fun. Deadpool has also been a fun, another 3 exclusive, IIRC
• i got the 512GB model, which has been nice for more games storage. I was running out of storage at 256GB but still have a little more than 100GB with all the games I want. Deadpool alone was like 30GB

What I don’t like over the 2? I honestly can’t think of anything the 2 did better than the 3. For me, everything was better or the same. Nothing was worse. Though, like I said, some people may not like color pass through, so some things may be up to personal preference. The 2 was a solid headset but the 3 was an upgrade, but not sure it was worth the price hike and not sure it was fair of Meta to block some games from the 2.

That’s honestly everything I can think of that I preferred more than the 2. My brother got a 3 before I did so I was able to do a direct comparison with both devices which helped my decision. If you can get ahold of someone who has a 3, that might help you too so you can compare both devices next to each other to make a better decision.

I remember reading a few weeks ago that Meta wants to increase the price of the Quest 3 soon. They wanted it to be more premium feel or something, so you may want to consider that. I sold my Quest 2 back in late 2023 for $100 USD so I really didn’t get much back to put towards the 3, and it’ll be much less, especially with less demand than back then for the 2, in case you’re thinking of getting rid of your 2.
