With Steam Frame arriving this summer, Meta is running out of time to entice gamers - will Prime Day do anything to improve the $599 price of the Quest 3?

Prime Day is right around the corner, and although I'm not hopeful we'll be seeing big discounts on the Meta Quest 3 and 3S in this June's sale, it might be one of Meta's last great opportunities to convince gamers to adopt its hardware. The Quest VR headsets have been the approachable VR device in the gaming market for years now, but that's arguably been due to a lack of competition.

The Steam Frame is now set for launch this summer, which will no doubt change things. It's unlikely that the Steam Frame is going to be targeting the same budget as the Quest 3S headsets; in fact, if there's a worry, it's that Valve's device will cost closer to $1,000. We still don't know the price of Valve's headset, but I'd put it somewhere in the ballpark of $500-$800 as a relatively safe bet (that gives me a generous amount of wiggle room to say I told you so).
