Quest 3 Price Just Hit $600 – Is VR Still Worth Buying in 2026?

Meta just raised the price of the Quest 3 by $100, effective April 19, 2026. The Quest 3 now costs $599 — putting it in direct competition with the PSVR2. Here's a grounded breakdown of what happened, why, and whether standalone VR is still worth it at this price point. This video looks at: • The confirmed new prices for Quest 3, Quest 3S 128GB, and Quest 3S 256GB • Why a memory chip shortage caused by AI infrastructure demand triggered this hike • The irony of Meta contributing to its own hardware cost problem • How this changes the value math for standalone Quest 3 users specifically • Practical buyer guidance: buy now, wait, or look at alternatives? Not panic — a grounded look at what the numbers actually mean for VR consumers. 🎮 Channel:    / @ovrviewchannel   oVRview — VR hobby archive.
