They shot themselves in the foot with the skimpy 128GB non-upgradeable storage. People will buy fewer games because of it.

[@Pjgamerglasses]

Damn you can’t upgrade it?

[@Haywood-Jablomie]

@@Pjgamerglasses Nope. You can buy a 512gb version for $200 more

[@griefer5846]

just wait till the meta quest 4 comes out and buy the meta 3 512gb when its cheaper

[@MindofGavin1]

When you have limited storage it becomes like a demo device. Its so annoying that none of these companies allow users to upgrade the storage. They either want you to rely on their cloud services, buy expensive proprietary hardware, or buy a new device. If meta was to make a more consumer friendly decice they'll win rhe vr/ar space

[@mgratk]

I generally only play 1 game at at time, finish it and move on to another. On my past Quests I usually have a target shooter or 2, a few other small games, and The main game I am playing regularly. That and 2 environmental apps. I'm OK with the 128. I rarely go back to games I have finished, so I can delete. And I have very fast internet.

[@offworlder1]

I got the 512 GB one because I had a feeling it would be wise to have plenty of room, like all my other gaming systems better to have too much room then too little.

[@Mr1spooky4]

Got the quest 2 256 GB about two years ago and i solely just use it for VrChat No other Gaming im more of a console gamer but i will say the design on the quest 3 looks awesome the designs looks very similar looks like the elite strap from Q2 will fit on the 3

[@Levi-hs6mg]

Nope, quest 2 straps are not compatible with quest 3

[@brokensword2621]

I personally use quest 3 for both standalone and pcvr games. But synce Quest 2 i always installed 3 to 5 games on my quest headset, and after i played them, i uninstalled them and installed other games i like. But I dont like to have a lot of games on my headset at once. This is make me feel I hasted to play them all as soon as possible, and this is not feel good for me. But if i have, for example, 4 games. 2 games for sport and my daily use and 2 games for single-player games, i focused on them perfectly and have a lot of fun with it. I also use those techniques on my pc and console games too. 😅

[@MistaRobot]

I can feel you bro, on my ps5 I felt storage isn't enough so bought 2tb ssd and now after a year I deleted most of them bcs I just felt confused and couldn't focus on one game I tend to change games frequently as soon as they come out most the games I couldn't fully complete bcs of this haha so ya its better to have just few games.

[@brokensword2621]

@@MistaRobot yes you right. its hard to focus on lot f games at once 😄

[@hya_versus6354]

In the US you can buy 1TB SSD for $70 or less, why is an extra 1/3 TB upgrade cost $150?

[@deadturret4049]

Im guessing the 128gb model is actually being sold at a loss, and then given the crucial flaw of very little storage so that fewer people will want to buy it. That way they can say "starting at this low price" but in reality its a brick and you actually gotta dump way more money in to get the actual experience.

[@User_92020]

This is meta quest 3, not ps5. I'm not trying to ignite a console war or vr war. I'm just simply implying that the meta quest 3 is not compatible with storage/memory upgrade. On the contrary, the ps5 is compatible with memory/storage upgrade. You can purchase a 3TB (3000 GB) ssd card greatly increasing your storage capacity.

[@Joric78]

I primarily use my Quest 2 for PCVR, don't have any videos on my headset, but I've still used more than 128GB of my 256GB. Can't imagine downgrading my storage and juggling apps when upgrading to the Quest 3. In fact I anticipate using more capacity, not only because of the increasing size for the game assets, but since the MR games aren't going to work via PCVR I'll probably be buying more on the Quest store than I was before (assuming MR games like the upcoming Lego Bricktales are actually decent). The MR mode update was the only reason I bought Demeo on the Quest store instead of Steam (and it's cross-buy, so I can still play it PCVR). It's more like tabletop gaming, where I can play on my dining room table and relax with a drink while playing. Even using low res B&W passthrough.

[@N3CR0LICH]

Yeah I got the 512gb to future proof my self. Few of the other KZbinrs I watch said that games would get bigger as time progressed along with the hardware. Wouldn’t surprise me that they discontinued the 128gb quest 3 like did the quest 2 64gb. And sell a 256gb in its place.

[@astralisoffthechain8588]

Either that or drop the price of 512 GB version and add a 1 TB option

[@Adam-mo2qw]

True but as he said 128gb works for him because he tends to download a game, beat it and then uninstall and install another. Which is what I will do also. I used a 64gb quest 2 and never had an issue. Only game where I had to squeeze a single game on was medal of honour at 40gb. But then I deleted that game after a few hours as it was pretty average. If you want to pile all or most of your games onto the system memory then yes 512gb is for you. Or if you download and watch movies on it. To say the 128gb version isn't future proofing yourself is a little speculative though. No chance there will be a game over the 100gb of free space Q3 128gb offers. No way. I mean asgards wrath is going to be very large and is 25gb expected. Even if a medal of honour Q3 upgrade is released it will be approx 60% larger... so about 60gb. That game was a beast for memory and wasn't good really. A full beast of a game like RE4VR with an upgrade will be about 15gb.

[@N3CR0LICH]

@@Adam-mo2qw You have very valid points. But some games you don’t necessarily beat. For instance Walking Dead Saints and Sinners. You play through the story but you can keep playing afterwards. Which I love to do. Nothin like killing some zombies after coming home from work. I had to reset my quest 2 at one point. And I was like well my games saves will be backed up to the metal cloud. Just on the safe side I even backed it up using side quest. Well after reinstall none of my games saves were there. And come to find out side quest will save the game but not the game saves. So I lost over a years worth of game on the main one save I played. And couple other saves at certain missions because I thought they were unique. I was pretty upset. Anyway lesson learned. The cloud isn’t reliable and Don’t delete the game if it can be helped.

[@Adam-mo2qw]

@N3CR0LICH you make valid points also. Hmmm didn't realise the cloud saves were unreliable. Not experienced that, but then it's rare i reinstalled games after I completed them.

[@Enderkiller77]

​@@Adam-mo2qwHear me out! What if the WiFi goes out for over a month and all you got is your downloaded games... 👀

[@JuvyThaKid]

In Canada, we're looking at $649 just for the 128 headset and $850 for the 500 gb. That's been the biggest obstacle for me running to grab this. I want to make sure it's going to be worth it.

[@not.krosshair]

same here in slovenia, i bought the 128 but still das crazy how much more expensive it gets

[@kennethHuo]

I am in Canada, I bought 128b and elite strap with battery. Cost me over 900CAD. Ouch !

[@deadturret4049]

Yeah... thats one of the reasons i've had to start saving for a quest 3 quite a while ago. Meta has massively overpriced the accessories too. They're going full apple with this one.

[@Gaze73]

Yeah, people are like "get quest 3 for $300" and then I see these ridiculous prices.

[@sassofono_perso3216]

[@Wolltazar]

@@cakemaster10 well, I didn’t get a good pcvr cable yet (airlink is slow for me and the cable I have is even worse) but I think that 128 should be more than enough if you have it for pcvr

[@charlescox7672]

@@TheBeleon Really haven't used the thing all that much, have only installed the bare minimum of apps, and have been using SteamLink to play PC games so no storage space needed!

[@CA-tk8yn]

I think by the time you filled the 128 and became frustrated moving games around, they'd come out with the Quest 4D. 128 is a decent amount of gaming to manage and is the best value unless you are impatient and disorganized. I finish a game and then move it personally so I always have plenty of room.

[@ShutterContinent]

Pair that with games almost doubling in size due to quality improvements from Q2 to Q3. I recently swapped from my q2 256gb to a Q3 128gb and only picking 12 of my 40 games I ran out of storage. I keep a variety of games installed because the download speeds are garbage and I like to share VR with friends and family that haven't experienced it yet.

[@Stong1337]

128 is more than enough i had the 256 quest 2 and never had it even half full. You really don't play much games on the vr and should really only have 1 or 2 large games installed. You are wasting money getting the larger one. If you have a quest 3 you can afford fast internet and does not take much at all to download vr games. Saves the money buy more stuff ! Why pay more for the same performance especially when its like £150-200 more just for 512gb, Id expect 1tb for that price. 1tb m.2 goes for around £80-120.

[@marcospastrana1]

I am going to buy it tomorrow with your referral link to support your channel

[@Kolotia_Li]

I am a PC VR user and I purchased 128G But I also want to experience some Meta exclusive games, such as Asgard's Wrath 2 I'm worried now that 128G of memory won't even be able to install the only Asgard's Wrath 2 (I mean it's not enough after deleting all the deletable applications)

[@honeybadger9425]

It’s 22-24 gb that game I think. I just got a Q3 128gb and got Asgards Wrath 2 free with it so it be a bit of a ridiculous deal if it was to big lol

[@pitprok]

I have the same concerns, games that are not playable through PCVR could eat up that storage really fast

[@SixString_J5]

That thumbstick hanging out there would get slapped across the room in 5 mins. I'd use it as a solid state external storage to transfer data back and forth when managing storage but wouldn't play with it plugged in.

[@StormRaid417]

With how many games you have just with the lower storage option, it's still good since like you said your PC can handle most of the storage. But, if you only have games on installed on the headset, it's kind of a problem only if you want every game possible. I only want a few games so not so bad really. The price difference seems more like a scam though since the storage capacity compared to the price is a little sus.

[@LuizMoratelli]

The worst is quest2 must to download the new bigger version too, so everyone with Q2 stay alert to less free storage

[@Yucci]

Why would everyone on Quest 2 also need to upgrade? Are both versions of the game included with one download? That doesnt make much sense since the Quest 1 and Quest 2 had different versions. But that sucks if its true.

[@JohnSmith-ef8nr]

​@Yucci It's true, Quest 2 user's will have to download quest 3 updates even though thay can't use them.

[@user-funnymadp]

glad I got the 512 version a few days ago, but I bought most of my game on Steam since I have a 4090, I think it runs better than the Quest version? 850 CAD for 512 version is not expensive but those accessories, even third-party ones like Bobovr, add up to almost 700 CAD lol

[@dronyland]

I have the 512GB version and I am glad I got it. A few days after owning it, and only with the basics Quest 3 apps installed on it from factory, VRchat, Beat-Saber, and two other games installed on it to try them out, along with Steam Link, I am already over the 128GB capacity. Also, for any NVMe drives (which are the one most likely installed in the headset), it's not a good idea to fill it up to the max, as it will reduces the lifespan of the drive.

[@earwaxntoast]

I'm not sure where you got the fill it to the max thing, but that's not true. That is true for batteries (it's not wise to charge to 100% and keep it there for battery longevity) but not using specific sectors on an ssd will not extend the life.

[@dronyland]

@@earwaxntoast I've been in the tech industry since 1980, so I know my way around electronics. But that's not only me saying that though. From MANY articles found using Google, they will all confirm my statement. Ex: "Yes, completely filling up an SSD can have a negative impact on its performance. When an SSD is filled to capacity, it can lead to slower write speeds, reduced lifespan of the drive, and potential issues with data management. It's generally recommended to keep some free space on an SSD to maintain optimal performance."
