Happy Sunday! Alright, I'm just going to come out and say it. I have a confession to make. There's a product out there that has been available for the past month or two, and for some reason, I can't seem to get it out of my head.
That device? The Meta Quest 3.
I know, I know. I almost feel ashamed for writing that, but truth be told, I’ve seen some AMAZING things from Twitter and Threads users.
Here, let me show you what I'm talking about. Imagine this scenario below. We've been there thousands of times. Wait until around the 7-8 second mark, and you'll see the magic:
Pretty cool, right? Here, let me show you more.

You can change screen size and location. In my case it’s a ~120 inch screen 👌

Alright. That’s the last one. Now, here’s the hard part. The price.
The Meta Quest 3 costs $499 for a measly 128GB storage. The 512GB option will set you back $649.99, respectfully.
Yeah, definitely not for those on a budget. And that's understandable. Is this a product that's priced too high, or is it worth the cost? The reviews provide some insight, but personal preference also plays a role.
I'm going to give it a try, but it's going to be on my terms. Do I need it? No. But do I want to own one and have the option of allowing another piece of technology to gather dust? Yep, you bet.
If there are any new developments on my side, I’ll let everyone know.
Here’s what we’ll be tackling today:
