There are already a number of positive reviews on the Amazon website with “massive improvement over the Quest 2”.
“It has better resolution, improved graphics, controller and hand/body tracking and a slimmer fit,” one reviewer said.
“When the Quest 2 was introduced, it was labelled as the best value for money in the VR world, and with the introduction of the Quest 3, this statement is no different,” said another.
A third added: “The Quest 3 was certainly a ‘we will wait and see option’ in my head but in the last minute. I chose to purchase this the day before release! I received it the next day (release day) around lunchtime which was perfect for allowing me to set up for the afternoon!”
You can purchase the Meta Quest 3 today on Amazon’s website.
