This is the perfect moment to buy a Meta Quest 3 for gaming
At this point, you’re probably bought in to VR gaming or you’ve not. The tech has a notoriously mixed reputation among gamers, some of whom have embraced VR as a gaming option and others who still reflexive sneer at it. I’ve been a supporter ever since the original PlayStation VR launched as I’ve played plenty of great games using the four headsets I’ve owned over the past decade. So believe me when I tell you that this Prime Day is the perfect time to grab a Meta Quest 3, which is .
Released last October, the Quest 3 is Meta’s latest wireless VR headset. It improves on the Quest 2 in just about every way, from resolution to controller design.

It’s smaller in scope than something likeAssassin’s Creed Shadows, but that’s a great thing.
