Meta has just announced that, like seemingly every other tech product under the sun, Meta Quest 3 series headsets are seeing price hikes across all models.<\/p>\n

Effective as of April 19, Meta Quest headsets will see a price hike of up to $100. The adjustments, Meta says, are due to the \u201cglobal surge in the price of critical components \u2013 specifically memory chips.\u201d In other words, the cost of RAM is rising, and pushing up the price of the headset.<\/p>\n

Retail prices on both new Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets will be going up while, interestingly, refurbished models are also impacted.<\/p>\n

Here are the altered prices:<\/p>\n

Meta\u2019s post details<\/a> international price changes.<\/p>\n

As far as refurbished devices go, Meta Quest 3 (512GB) currently sells for $449 refurbished<\/a>, while Meta Quest 3S starts at $269 refurbished<\/a>. There\u2019s no word on how those prices will go up, but it stands to reason we\u2019ll see the same price hikes (so $549 and $319, respectively, are possible).<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve been wanting a Quest, now\u2019s the time, as the new prices don\u2019t kick in for a few more days.<\/p>\n
