Temperatures are getting colder, but not in VR… here it is going to be a very hot week with the launch of the Quest 3! Today I was thinking “Oh it’s cool that the Quest 3 is coming in a few weeks…” and then I realized that is going to be fully launched in just 2 days. I’m super excited, and you?

If people were interested in those, they would have bought a Quest 2 for $300, instead of waiting for a $3000 headset.
