As a Quest 2 user, the 3s wasn’t a huge upgrade. The Quest 3 pancake lenses are a game changer.

[gonzvlxs]

We just picked up our first VR the Meta Quest 3s, mainly for my son and for his birthday gift. But I like it so much that I’m getting my own Meta 3 this holiday season

[supersonicheros]

Man, I cant wait to upgrade from the Quest 1 to the Quest 3s. Mines was literally on brutal life support. 😅

[somechannelguy]

Since I started with my Quest 2, I feel like I'm better off going with a Quest 3 itself. But anyone new to VR, I SUGGEST YOU GET A 3S!!!!
It's cheap and more affordable, but if you're not used to VR and just getting into it I highly suggest the 3s from what I've heard and seen.

[Dotkenn]

773PPI VS 1218PP is a bloody huge difference, single reason I wont even consider the 3s.

[JorgTheElder]

The Q3S is for people that can't afford the Q3. It is that simple.

The Q3 is better. It has better lenses and display panels making the image higher resolution, with nearly edge to edge clarity, and no god-rays.

That said, there is nothing wrong with the Q3S, it is just the normal case of getting a more affordable product by cutting corners.

[LabFlurry]

Quest 3 has a more impressive and modern look due to the pancake lenses, the way it is thinner and a bit more comfortable

[laxlyfters]

Another thing in the US you can get a refurbished quest 3 from meta for $379 for 128gb and $449 for 525gb and you still get the batman code this is a good deal since you get warranty from meta and the savings is going to be spent anyway on Bobovr S3 Pro strap since stock strap is an no no 😅😅😅

[phoenix-qrln]

I could never go back from pancake lenses, and with the better resolution I can push my PC for PCVR and see the difference. For standalone, the 3s would blow the 2 out of the water, which is it's real purpose in my opinion. If I had money for both, there would be no reason I would ever get a 3s over a 3. If I only had money for a 3s and If I was going to do a lot of standalone VR I would get it; but if I was mostly just going to do PCVR I would look around for a quest 2 or other options before.

[heavydremer]

I've come to the conclusion that the 3s is simply a bump up from quest 2. So it'd make sense for someone who doesn't currently have VR to pick up the 3S. Whereas a quest 2 user would benefit from skipping straight to the 3. Is that a good conclusion? I'm saving up for the 3S, since it'll be my first experience with VR.

[aptheshooter]

I bought the 3s about 2 months ago now. I am completely new to vr and it's perfect for me I didn't have a set standard of what I was expecting so everything the 3s delivers is more than enough for a beginner! It will still blow your mind and it works pretty much flawless, some bugs will accumulate overtime but restarting the headset once in a while fixes everything. It's an awesome console/headset/computer. These do a lot!

[strripn]

came from the 2 to the 3 just recently and wow is it a game changer. If just getting into it I guess go 3s to see if like it but if you do you are going to want to upgrade to the 3 as it really does look that much better and clearer on the edges which makes huge difference for immersion

[tbray]

I was literally on the fence about whether to get the S or the full 3, and this video made me realize that i'll be fine with the S. I am still pretty casual about my VR, even though I have dozens of games. Another thing - i have lenses that i got for the Quest 2 and those will apparently fit the 3S....so I'm getting the S. Thanks!

[midnytespectre]

The quest 3 sounds better over all. The 3S is sporting an attractive price range, but you can get a 128gb Q3 for under 400. I'd rather just save up the extra 80 bucks and go with the 3 for an all around better experience for my money. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[dartarian]

I can see the benefits of the 3s but the lens on the 3 is more important for me.

[wesleytaylor]

Went from the Quest 1 to the 512gb Quest 3 with the elite headstrap and battery pack and I’ll never look back. One of the greatest choices in my life to choose the quest 3

[StormRaid]

Don't forget that the Quest 3S works better in the dark than the Quest 3 thanks to improved infrared sensors. You will get a "turn your lights on" notification, but it won't interrupt gameplay or performance. I've played in really dark spaces, and it doesn't affect me one bit. The Quest 3S is the best banger for your money.

[eventtrading]

Brand new to VR. 3S pricing drew me in. It's fantastic. Mixed reality is beyond description. No question that if price is no object, or you're an experienced user, the 3 is the place to be in spite of the extra $200.

[Joe_]

Sorry! Going for the 3, because Gravity Sketch is a side quest(Hobby) for me. Also, I like the idea that the 3 is smaller and powerful...

[Domzdream]

So glad I purchased the meta quest 3 version.
So happy with it. Playing Alyx right now. Just wow.
