The first thing<\/span> you\u2019ll likely notice about Meta<\/a>\u2019s new Quest 3S is that it costs only a few hundred dollars, not many hundreds (or thousands) like other virtual reality headsets. The price stands out, because the Quest 3S arrives only a few months after Apple\u2019s Vision Pro<\/a>\u2014a heavy and buggy $3,499 VR headset\u2014was released to disappointing sales numbers.<\/p>\n

Instead of appealing to developers and early adopters with deep pockets, as Apple tried to do, Meta wants its headset to appeal to more casual users. For them\u2014the newbies and the VR-curious\u2014$300 is a much more attractive price. (That\u2019s for the 128 GB of storage space, by the way. Add another $100 if you want the 256 GB model.)<\/p>\n

Those casual users will be greatly pleased. The Quest 3S does exactly what it\u2019s supposed to do; it functions slightly better than the Quest 2<\/a> that it replaces but not quite as well as the Quest 3<\/a>. While I know this is not what Meta intended, it sure does feel like the S in the name is meant to stand for \u201csweet spot.\u201d Meta has created an affordable headset that delivers thrills without fuss, making the Quest 3S the thing that might get a lot of people (me included) into VR at long last.<\/p>\n

Same but Different<\/h2>\n
