Meta Is Increasing The Price Of Quest 3 & Quest 3S
UploadVR • • technology
Key Points:
- Meta is raising the prices of its Quest 3 and Quest 3S VR headsets starting Sunday, with increases of $100 for the Quest 3 (512GB) and $50 for the Quest 3S models (128GB and 256GB).
- The price hikes are attributed to rising costs in producing high-performance VR hardware, particularly due to a global surge in memory chip prices affecting consumer electronics.
- Although official accessory prices remain unchanged, refurbished headset prices are also rising, and the discontinuation of the 128GB Quest 3 model raises the entry price for Meta's higher-end headset by $100.
- This move aligns Meta with other tech companies like Sony, Microsoft, and Samsung, which have also increased prices amid component cost inflation, while Apple and Google have largely maintained stable pricing.
- Meta reaffirmed its commitment to VR innovation, highlighting a long-term roadmap with new hardware and experiences despite the current price adjustments.
