Meta raises Quest VR prices
Meta announced on Thursday that the price of its 512GB Quest 3 model will jump from $500 to $600 starting April 19.
The more affordable Quest 3S will also see a $50 increase across its storage variants.
The decision comes as the tech industry grapples with a severe RAM shortage that has driven up manufacturing costs for various hardware products.
Meta's move follows similar price adjustments by other major electronics firms and could impact the adoption of its VR platform ahead of the holiday season.
