Meta Quest 3 and 3S Get 10% Education Discount
The Meta Quest line of headsets is experiencing something of a rough patch right now, as a recently-launched update apparently bricked numerous Meta Quest units, including the Meta Quest 2, 3, and 3S headsets. The company has since pushed updates that have reportedly fixed the issue for a number of owners, but for those who are still having problems, the company is offering a way to get areplacement Meta Quest headset. While it’s an unfortunate development, it’s good to see that the company stands behind its products.
Depsite this recent mishap, Meta remains largely unchallenged in the realm of wireless VR headsets. While there have been rumors of anew VR headset from Valve, nothing official has surfaced. Meta tends to offer discounts for its headsets or bundles that include additional games or accessories during holidays, but for those who want a discount now, this may be the best offer for a while.
Meta Quest 3S
Meta Quest 3S is the budget alternative to the Meta Quest 3, one that still offers high-end performance. Supporting virtual and mixed reality, the headset comes with a Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chipset, 8GB RAM, HD resolution (1832x1920 pixels per eye), and roughly 2.5 hours of battery life.
