Meta will raise prices for Quest 3 and Quest 3S headsets on April 19, citing higher memory chip costs tied to a global RAM shortage.
In short: Meta says it will raise prices on its Quest 3 and Quest 3S virtual reality headsets starting April 19 because memory chips are getting more expensive.
Meta announced that the Meta Quest 3S will cost $50 more starting April 19. The 128GB model will be $349.99, and the 256GB model will be $449.99.
Meta also said the Meta Quest 3 will go up by $100 to $599.99. The company tied the increase to a global shortage and higher prices for RAM, which is a type of memory chip that helps devices run apps smoothly (like a desk where you keep the papers you are working on right now).
The new pricing will also apply to refurbished Quest headsets, which are units that were returned and cleaned up and tested for resale. Meta said prices for Quest accessories will stay the same.
Meta is not the only company making this kind of change. The article notes that other major electronics makers, including Samsung, Microsoft, and Sony, have also raised hardware prices in response to the same RAM shortage.
If you are thinking about buying a Quest headset, the timing could affect what you pay. More broadly, this is another sign that shortages of key parts can raise prices for everyday electronics, even when the product itself has not changed.
