Meta Quest 3 vs Quest 2 // SHOULD YOU UPGRADE?

[firewalker]

Just bought a Quest 3 512gb for my kids. They are definitely going to be excited about this. They play the heck out of their quest 2.

🤓Quest 3 actually is heavier than Quest 2, but it FEELS lighter on your face, bcs the weight isnt that far away from your face anymore

Imo… no. The Meta Quest 3 - no this current Quest business model is really at odds with itself. I understand the technical upgrades the Quest 3 provides under the hood but as a consumer I’m not feeling compelled by what’s on display to bite at that $500 price point when for $250 I’m offered either the Quest 2 and Beat Saber/RE4 VR or the Quest 2 and $50 Amazon gift card. Beyond just the buy in, the difference in horse power offers a better MR experience yes but from reports it still seems like more of a neat party trick than a feature that you can’t experience VR without. I think my biggest reason against it though has to be that the Quest 2 isn’t dead. It’s really as simple as that I think if you’re someone who’s REALLY going to go for that Standalone experience as opposed to a cheap way to get into PC VR then it’s all the more reason to save the extra $250 from not buying a Quest 3 to use to buy the games that will be compatible for Quest 2 anyway.

Tl;dr I got a Quest 2 this year because from the outside looking in, I don’t see a major incentive for getting a Quest 3 over a Quest 2 when so much of the market from developer support to market pricing is so in favor of lifting up the Quest 2 as the better deal.

It's not worth the upgrade. Steam stats still show more people playing with 2

Is there any way to use Android apps like IPTV Smarters for IPTV? Is there also a way to connect to a Windows computer with multiple screens like the AR Glasses? I've just learned about AR Glasses, so lots to learn yet!

I just wish the controllers were interchangeable...

[BruisedAir]

I would buy it but my family is a little poor so i cant, but it was cool to watch!

[masonchristensen]

i just think its funny that the 3ds was doing AR games way back in the early 2010s

[araffaelegmw]

I will no doubt get another at some point but I just wasn’t playing it enough for whatever reason. I haven’t had the meta quest 3 off in comparison so it was the right call for now at least. Until something from Sony really grabs me.

I was never able to really get into my Rift CV1 but this looks super cool

I feel my buzz from just buying the quest 2 drain after watching this, I did see there wasn't much difference on one video and then I see the quest 3 is way way way better, It always happens to me when I buy tech, The same happened when I got a 12gb 3060, Now a 40 series is the same price, I got the quest 2 for Sim Racing, I am still tweaking the settings to get it right, A lot of trail and error, That is another thing that is not mentioned, It is not just plugging in the lead, Or plug and play like it really should be, I will say though Steam VR is pretty good, And why do you need the meta app to be running while you got the headset on, I can see why a good CPU is needed now, I got an i5 12500k so I think it is enough for medium to high settings, I am scared to buy any more tech, It isn't long before the next leap is out, I do think at the moment there is a stale mate in the tech world, A few limits have been reached until the next ERA of tech, lol....
I was over the moon with the quest 2 though I will say, Is it that bad of a difference then the quest 2 to the quest 3?

1:26 that is just downright false and deceptive. The quest 3 has 45 min-1 hour less battery life than the quest 2 which is a monumental downgrade.

Damn we had it on Nokia smartphones in early 2000s bruh 2:01

Sold my ps5 for a meta quest 3 the reason was I hate the size of the console along with all the plugs wires discs controllers chargers etc that go along with a video game console. The meta 3 is all self contained in a headset with the exception of 2 hand controllers which incidentally run off a single AA Battery and last ages or in many cases you can control the headset with just your hands. But I didn't find I was using my ps5 as much as I thought I would. Don't get me wrong the graphics and games are the best they've ever been but I just felt I was playing the same games with better graphics essentially. Where the meta quest 3 differs is in that now you are a part of the game your playing you are immersed in a way you dont get playing on a flat TV screen no matter how nice it looks it's one dimensional but not anymore.

I defy anyone play Asgard's wrath and tell me it's not up there with the best you've ever played and expect your jaw to drop and gasp in amazement at the incredible surprises this game has to offer. We're only just starting this new chapter in gaming and it's gonna be a fantastic ride you don't want to miss.

this is literally just a commercial. no opinions to be found

[ThrasherWoodruff]

I am saving up to buy this thing and I can't Wait I should have it by August - September or if not for my b day I am so exitedd

[timhayes]

Okay be honest though. Is it WORTH it if I already have the Quest 2? If I did get the 3 it would be the 500GB one so $650. Is it WORTH the $650 upgrade if I already have the Quest 2???

[timruss]

Not enough difference to justify upgrading, games are crystal clear on my quest 2 and the new upgrades on it do not really mean that much to me

[monacoj]

did you think it was worth it, I heard you say it was better but nothing about if it was worth it when compared to the quest 2.I personally am thinking of getting the quest 2 because sense I'm starting from scratch I have to buy a better head strap, face cover and gun stock which even makes the quest 2 a bit pricy for me.But is it so good that the upgrade is a must and do you think if I where to buy the quest 2 it would last another 3 years, would love to hear your thought.

It's actually fourteen grams heavier, Also definitely not forty percent smaller it's only a little bit smaller the just the gray plastic.
