Following the Meta Quest 2 selling out everywhere, Meta has found itself lacking a cheap VR headset option for people who want to try VR but aren’t ready to commit $499.99 / £479.99 / AU$799.99 to buying a Meta Quest 3 outright. Its new ‘Play Now, Pay Later’ scheme might seem like a solution, but a bit of digging has revealed that it’s actually not as good a deal as Meta says.
For eligible US-based customers you can pick up a 128GB Meta Quest 3 headset, a 24-month subscription to Meta Quest+, and a 24-month Meta Warranty Plus for $24.99 per month. For $34.99 per month you can get the 512GB model instead – with either option coming with 0% APR financing through Affirm.
