Meta Quest 3 128GB
Basic buy
With the same amount of storage as the base Quest 2, the base variant of the Meta Quest 3 should fit your current VR library when you upgrade. With the launch of the 3S though, Meta has officially discontinued the 128GB variant which makes it harder to find brand-new, unless you don't mind buying one that's refurbished.
For
- More affordable
- No other spec downgrades compared to 512GB
- Enough space for dozens of games
Against
- Same storage size as Quest 2
- Quest 3 games will get larger over time
- Officially been discontinued
Meta Quest 3 512GB
Future-proof choice
Get quadruple the Quest 3 storage, or twice what the largest Quest 2 offered. Game sizes are getting larger over time, and since Quest headsets don't have expandable storage, this is your best option to avoid constantly deleting or reinstalling games. This is now the only option when buying new and it even gets a lower price of just $499.
For
- Quadruple the storage
- Future-proofs the headset for larger titles
- Comes with 3 months of Meta Quest Plus, Batman: Arkham Shadow
- Price lowered to $499, making it a good deal
Against
- No hardware differences besides storage
