thanks man
I can change the storage for the quest 3s…
3s
Why does my Meta Quest 3 have only 128GB???
Edit: Nvm I have base model
Can meta quest s run bonelab barbarian and vrfs
Im a vr newbie and didnt fancy spending 500 on a vr so i nust ordered a 3s optics dont bother me as long as i get my monies worth out of it which i will and the storage again doesnt bother me as ill be using vr mainly for vr experiences only game i want to play is batman. So again optics dont bother me ill use my 3s then wh3n i change jobs and can afford if ill upgrade. But for now ill be hapoy with my 3s which will arrive tomorrow
Don’t need storage. I have storage on my PC
I was one of the people who got the meta quest 3 when it first came out it started out with 218gb of storage but it was for the same price as it is now
Would there be a big difference in storage capacity impact if I just want it to play VR supported games installed on my PC?
If not it comes down to optics then.
3D is better on the 3s
I’m getting a meta quest 3 for $300
Back in the 90s it was mostly about trying to get their products sold at a reasonable price. Nowadays in (2025) it’s how much they can squeeze every penny from our wallets, this is why gaming feels bland and devoid of any life or imagination for the 90s generation and the new ones. Corporate greed has ruined gaming
I got My Son the Meta quest 3S and I will say these are the strongest remotes in the world🤣🤣 My Son dropped these remotes over 200 times and they are as good as the first day we got them.. whoever made them needs to start making remotes for all video games 🤣
My 3s has 218 gb
I have Quest 3 S I like it
I wanted a quest 3 but got a 3s but I’m okay with it because my friend let me try hit quest 3 and I liked it the only difference it quest 3 had better tracking then 3s but really doesn’t matter
I never understood why you’d care about big storage on these. How many games are you playing at the same time? You can just redownload them if you want to play them later.
I got the 128gb 3 just before they made the 500gig cost the same :’)
Was still worth it tho
258gb for quest3s
I’m glad I watched this. I thought they upgraded the lenses on the 3s, but it’s just the quest 2 at a higher price from a PC perspective. I almost wasted $300! All I can do now os wait.
i got 3s
They’re basically the same but one is better and the 3s and the 3 has the same controller
The meta quest 3s is 399$
😮
I prefer meta quest 3s
Quest 3s is a 2
512 GB is just a waist especially if you’re just starting a VR. Any ways, I have two Meta Quest 2’s and 1 meta quest 3S and a whole bunch of games and it’s not even halfway full. Don’t buy the 512 GB Meta Quest 3. What you should buy is the Meta Quest 3S.
Unless you want to have better lenses instead of fresnel lenses which the 3S/2 have. Unless you like the meta quest 3 instead of the fresnel lenses you get the pancake.
In Australia the quest 3 is $800 and the 3S is $500 😢
The size is also much smaller with pancake lenses btw.
I love living in a country in which the meta quest 3s costs more than what a meta quest 3 costs over there lol.
Here a Meta quest 3s costs 600 dollars and a meta quest 3 can go for 900.
I would choose the meta quest 3 better storage better experience and better lenses and passthrough
My meta quest 3 cost $575.99
i get welders eyes or snow eyes when i use the quest 3 something that never happened to me when using the quest 2 and i own both as well as the quest 3s that i havent used yet because i left it at my sisters house on accident. i can use the quest 2 for twice to three times as long without any issues. when using the quest 3 i can only play for an hour or so give or take 15 mins before i start feeling like i have sand in my eyes and they feel like they are dried up. the only time i notice that im using the quest 2 is when im at the home UI and settings menu, but when youre playing games its a lot less noticeable even when playing wireless with the headset plugged into power the quest 3 will use the whole 2400Mbps while the quest 2 will only use 1200mbps but you can still get very good video encoding for pcvr using virtual desktop streamer and you can even use gpu’s that are not supported by the meta quest pc app using virtual desktop streamer and get amazing pcvr game streaming.
Yryf😂
my mom and dad got me a 3s for my birthday today
Well i am trying to get the quest 3 Cuz my quest 3s broke sadly had not played it since
110 fov on quest 3 …90 fov on 3s , if you can afford the 3 its a no brainer.
I had my quest 2 since January 2023, the right controller just now stopped working, I might get a quest 3 soon.
Save your money for NerveGear
I purchased the Meta quest 3. It was well worth the cost. 🤐
I got the meta quest 3 mainly for the storage I didn’t think about the optics but when I tried the new lense I was blown away I don’t know why people say thay don’t care about the pancake Lenses they obviously never tried it but it’s actually so much better more clear it doesn’t reflect weird in different lighting if you can buy meta quest 3 it’s a massive difference you can even pay up for it
No is Auli Cost 299 dollars
bro i got quest 3s a few days ago i was so happy but i watched videos about it and now im sad ☹️
Im legit coming from an occulus gen 1. Im sure what I just bought is an upgrade lol.
quest 3 is for the older people and quest 3s is for the younger people
Idgaf I’m broke ASF which ever one is cheaper imma buy it
I just won this bad boy in a raffle, lol
brain tumor
Im not gonna download that much games im only gonna like get 5 or 8 so my opinion is meta quest 3s
If u care about image quality and how far u can see the 3 is the way to go:
