They're iirc £387 from Very if you're a new customer and buy using their interest free credit option (which u can pay off immediately). Topcashback works with it too for some cash back.

I was in Currys a few days ago, hoped to be able to try the 3, I do have a quest 2, but all on display were non working copies of both headsets.

Looking at them side by side though the 3 headset itself is a lot thinner (40% I believe) than the 2, but taking what seemed a larger facial interface into consideration, the difference didn't seem that great maybe an inch or so.

So as the 3 is a little heavier than the 2, my instincts were, that it probably doesn't feel a great deal more comfortable than the 2 but as couldn't try it on I was none the wiser.

Meta's prices seem to be all over the place though, When I bought the 2 it was £299 a few months later it went up to £399, now on sale for £250, so given time and when eventually they phase the 2 out, I can see the 3 dropping in price, well hoping anyways.

The weight is 90% in the guts of the headset, the facial interfaces need depth to wrap enough of your face to block light. Where the 3 fits so much closer to your face, it's a lot more comfortable, as you don't have as much leverage of the weight that the 2 produces. Also when spinning, as it's closer to your face, there's less momentum pulling at your face/strap.
 
Has anyone tried a different IPD setting from what theirs is supposed to be? My optician told me my IPD is 68.
I've been using that number until last night when I tried 61 and it's really sharp whereas 68 isn't.

i used the "glasses on" app, i IPD was 62 or 63

bought lenses from hons VR said ipd was 63

i found i had to turn the ipd to its minimum settings to get the best out of it, but still not "perfect", i emailed HonsVR with the information they was asking me for , so they sent me new ones (unknown what they changed) and its spot on now, with IPD setting still at 62/63

Has anyone ever had trouble connecting to wi-fi? Today it took about 15 minutes including rebooting before my Quest 3 connected. In that time, my phone and laptop were connected to the wi-fi so I don't know why the headset took so long.
 
i have just watched a video of someone playing Asgard Wrath 1 through "Revive App" and he managed to do a thumbs up thing ok so maybe its just Virtual Desktop that it won't do it on

ill have another go tonight via VD now im on v.59 etc
