Meta Discontinues Sales of Quest Pro VR Headset

The Meta Quest Pro is officially discontinued. Meta's website confirms its unavailability, following earlier announcements predicting stock depletion by early 2025. High pricing ($1499.99) hindered its adoption, unlike the more affordable Meta Quest line ($299.99-$499.99).

The recommended alternative is the Meta Quest 3, touted as the "ultimate mixed reality experience." While some remaining Pro units might exist in retail stores, availability is dwindling.

Why the Meta Quest 3 is a Viable Upgrade:

The Meta Quest 3 offers comparable features at a significantly lower price ($499). It shares the Pro's mixed reality capabilities, allowing users to blend virtual and real-world environments. Technically, the Quest 3 surpasses the Pro in several areas: it's lighter, boasts higher resolution and refresh rate, promising a more comfortable experience. Furthermore, the Quest 3 is compatible with the high-quality Touch Pro controllers. For budget-conscious users, the Meta Quest 3S, starting at $299.99, offers a slightly less powerful but more affordable option.
