It is half the price.

That was the selling point for me. I'm interested in VR, but I don't know how much it's really going to improve the gaming experience for me. The Quest 2 price point is cheap enough that I'm not going to be super upset if it's not something I really enjoy.

The Quest 3 price point is past the point where I feel like I may as well just save up and get an even better headset/vr rig.

Initially bought at about $300. Marketplaced at about $300 2 months later. Was a nice (almost) free rental. Not gonna buy VR stuff again unless there are some major improvements.
