The first Meta headset I won't be buying since the Rift S.

Seems like a giant waste of plastic to me

i dunno, its really affordable, and i think is a great replacement for quest 2. not something for existing quest 2 owners to jump to, but a great 1st VR headset or those with a quest 1 who skipped the 2.

Seems to be a backwards step to me but i guess they are just trying to make VR mainstream affordable

It's hardly going to be better and cheaper than the full blown 3.

Yes it's a fine first headset, but Quest 2 owners are better off with the Quest 3.

its the long term goal / strategy get it to everyone make money later.
time vs cost vs reward/investment

Would not touch with barge pole... They put the quest 2 lenses back in it???

Well it had to have some of the old tech, lenses and screens are an obvious one. Without that, where's the saving.

It gives access to new games at a lower price point.

Even allowing reuse of custom lenses from the q2 I believe.

I think you are missing the point of the 3S. if you want a highish end headset then get a quest 3 (which has had a tasty price cut)

the 3S is an entry level headset but it's way better than the quest 2 because it can play all the newest quest titles and with the quest 3 graphical improvements.

the only thing missing now from the line up is a high end headset. the 12 month delay for the quest pro thanks to COVID chip shortage really messed that up.

I would like to see a quest pro 2 launch with what ever chip the quest 4 will have in it. most of the other stuff they can keep the same as on the quest pro (but with the better pass through of course) ideally before the quest 4. bonus points if oled display.

not sure if it will happen however
