    Games do NOT look the same on the Quest3 compared to the Quest2. As per your own review the Quest 3 has virtually no sweet-spot and it's resolution eliminates screen-door effect and makes everything more resolved in combination with the pancake lenses. - Nope the Quest3 makes all games (thus the gaming experience) look better right out of the box. Far less eye fatigue. Not to mention the better movement due to faster processing ... The Quest3's graphics is way better than the Quest2 for multiple reasons... Just the fact that you can look all over the scene without seeing any blur is enough to want to get it! I'd pay $500 just for that!

    Hi Seth: when commenting about the phone level graphics: yes it is what you would expect from a mobile device. However, try Red Matter2; de version on the Quest2 already looked great, the Quest3 version is actually pretty close to PCVR quality! It seems that the graphics chip really is about 2x as good as the quest2 and the main reason games look so cartoonish is the “laziness’ of the programmers. The upcoming Asgard’s wrath and Assassin’s Creed also look pretty good.

    I bought the quest 1, used, for a 100 bucks. Got tired of it after a couple days and haven't touched it since. On the contrary,..I'm STILL playing Command and Conquer (xbox 360), I must have 10,000 hours on that game. I've found that the WOW factor only lasts a couple days, as opposed to the FUN factor which lasts indefinitely. Therefor, I'll hold off on the Quest 3 until a great game comes out on it, like, say, Borderlands!
