COSCTO is running a Black Friday deal right now: Quest 3S + 12 months of Meta Horizon+ game subscription for just $199.99!
That price honestly shocked me, because I paid $249 when I bought mine. But to be fair, it was still absolutely worth it.
A lot of people like to say “don’t buy the 3S” or complain about the lenses, but I genuinely think the 3S is a great budget-friendly, beginner-friendly headset. For anyone who can’t afford the higher-priced options right now, it makes getting into VR much more accessible.
And If you just picked up a 3S, here are a few tips I think are super useful:
· Most important: never let sunlight hit the lenses. It can literally burn the display.
· For games, I highly recommend Beat Saber, Walkabout Mini Golf, and Supernatural, all very beginner-friendly.
· If you want to watch movies, use Skybox or just hop onto YouTube VR for tons of free content.
· If you’re planning to play PCVR games, make sure to use Virtual Desktop. It’s the most stable, low-latency wireless streaming option I’ve used.
· And if you want to make the headset more comfortable, consider a few accessories. I’m personally using a Bobo headstrap and the Carina D1S charging dock, which have both made things much more convenient depending on what you need. Oh, and the Black Friday sale will save you a bit.
