Meta Quest Pro Officially Discontinued: Upgrade to the Quest 3?
Meta has officially discontinued the Quest Pro VR headset, as announced on its website. The high price point of $1499.99 hindered its adoption, unlike the more affordable Meta Quest line (ranging from $299.99 to $499.99). While some remaining units might be found in stores, availability is dwindling.
Meta directs prospective buyers towards the Meta Quest 3, touted as the "ultimate mixed reality experience." The Quest 3 offers a compelling alternative, boasting superior specs at a significantly lower price of $499.
Why Choose the Meta Quest 3?
The Quest 3 retains many of the Quest Pro's features, particularly its mixed reality capabilities – overlaying virtual elements onto the real world. However, it surpasses its predecessor in several key areas: it's lighter, boasts higher resolution and refresh rate, leading to a potentially more comfortable and immersive experience. Furthermore, the Quest Pro's Touch Pro controllers are compatible with the Quest 3.
Budget-conscious users can also consider the Meta Quest 2S, a more affordable option starting at $299.99, albeit with slightly reduced specifications.
