Deal History
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Im trying to figure this out. I want to price match this to Best Buy because I have a cashback & CC offer but I think the price adjustment might screw up the cashback especially of they do an invoice, but also if they do a partial refund.
Doesnt Meta fix the prices amongs all non-wholesale clubs ? If its selling for $468 at Amazon does that mean it will drop elsewhere?

yes and no, most of these "black friday " discounts are not matched across multiple sellers. Ive seen the opposite too with apple products so really depends but its not typical
I would say the ebay refurb is probably the best possible deal that ive seen on this headset generally speaking and it typically doesnt last very long maybe a couple days or so. if youre interested i wouldnt wait.

if it's selling for $468 on Amazon the other retailers may price match, may offer an additional bonus such as a gift card/credit or on rare occasions drop the price under the competitor to clear stock HOWEVER Amazonin particular doesn'tlike to do adjustments after the fact and will cause you to purchase a second one and return the first.
I try to post this helpful info when I see sales. (Refurbs may not get the free game or activation credit).
If you don't like the "free" games of the month you can hold off activating Meta+ for 3 months.
Games claimed for "free" through the subscription are only accessible with an active subscription.
$30 credit for those that use a friend link prior to device setup (it's a ban-able offense on SD to post/request such links but check Reddit)
ALL SALES ARE TARGETED meaning they could offer 50% off to one account and no sale for another.
When buying games check for developer links to save a flat 15-20% when there is no active sale on the game.
You're going to want a better strap and there's 2 or 3 great options for under $100. Some have hot swap batteries.(examples kiwi, globular, boboVR)
If you have glasses or a stigmatism there are snap on prescription lenses for $20 on sites or $50 direct from Meta.
The max credit you can attain per year is $599 (anything $600+ is taxable)
The 4th gen headset is expected 2026/2027
There's free 3rd party software like OcularMigraine that improves visuals at the cost of battery life. Others like Quest Games Optimizer have a price associated along with permissions.
The games with PCVR need the Meta app for PC and many others recommend Virtual Desktop when on sale.
You do not need to link FB/IG to your account can use a normal email account.
If you mess up the $30 link you have 7 days to click a $30 link and factory reset your headset and go through initial setup to get it. Otherwise you need a good bit of personal info from the other person for support to process it. Sometimes there's a promo for $60 credit so check the app.
I'm sure there is info I forgot like there's no crossbuy and if you see it that means it gives you a Meta PC copy you need the app to play.
360 videos through the YouTube app are not true 4K and should be downloaded to view uncompressed.
Rechargeable batteries for the controllers are a must as they take 1 AA each.
Activate 2 factor authentication and set a pin for purchases to minimize accidents. There is a small return window for purchases but YMMV with support.
Those with GeForceNow can use it with the headset but the experience is not amazing yet.
Do NOT expose headset or lenses to direct or reflected sunlight (use a cover)
If you owned a Quest2 and purchase a Quest3 you may still be able to get the $30 activation credit.
Do NOT leave the headset charging for hours unsupervised or with 3rd party plugs/cables
Always read reviews as Most Recent and check online for in depth reviews.
I've accidentally punched my headset during a vr workout and thankfully it was fine but mind your surroundings.
Meta+ is not needed to use the headset (my 3 month trial ran out)
Only use a dry microfiber cloth to clean your lenses or risk removing the anti glare coating
Amazon often has these super sales over night . Whether on purpose or by accident not sure. I think Meta has a strict policy on retailer pricing and Amazon probably violated it to get some sales blaming it on a mistake
