Quest 3S is available in two storage models, 128GB for $300 or 256GB for $400. Both models come with the same Touch Plus controllers included with Quest 3. Alternatively, people in the US can get a Quest 3S from $20/month for 128GB ($25/month for 256GB) over two years, which includes the Meta Quest+ games subscription service and Meta Warranty Plus.
I’m fine with my Quest 2. It plays all of the PCVR games I need.
The 3s is just a quest 2 with color passthrough and better SOC minjus headphone jack. Probably an overall downgrade for PCVR lol.
Meta bricked my Quest 2 with a firmware update, and I have since moved on to a PSVR2 on PC. Im kind of glad Meta made me ditch their eco system, the PSVR2 is quite nice lol
How did it brick it? What happened?
A bunch of the original 64Gb quest 2 headsets that were bought at launch broke with the update to v57. When you turn it on, you see the Meta logo, then everything goes black. You can still hear sound, and it does appear like the system is working in the background, but the screen is black. We did however find out that if you walk over a pre-existing guardian, you will see the blue outline still.
Dozens of us on the meta support forums have reach out to Meta many times about it, but all they do it offer to replace it for $150, rather than fixing their mistake. After months of fighting them about it, I have since given up on Meta and will no longer be buying any of their products.
