Down to £230 on Amazon at the moment.
Are they a decent price of kit? Good fun?
Good a 9 year old who is getting I to his gaming and I won't complain if we get one...
Are they completely stand alone or can you use alongside a ps5 for example?
Plenty of free decent games or do you have to pay for everything too?

That's the '3S' rather than the '3'?
Was tempted but the fresnel lenses, same as on the '2', puts me off as the focal point is so narrow. The '3' has better lenses for a wider in focus field of view but the prices are a lot higher.
I'd see if any local shop has one to try first to see if it's really that bad as otherwise it does seem a bargain.

Bought a Quest 3 about a year ago. I use it not for VR but as a big screen to play GeForceNow any where in the house.
The tech is very good, however the display resolution isn't any where as sharp as you expect from 4K. The screenshots are much clearer than how it looks on the device. It's something to do with FOV and eye resolution. Essentially the Quest 3 to me looks like 720P at best and often worse, to get to a point where pixelation isn't visible VR headset have to deliver at least the equivalent of 8K!!!

The other issue I've had is it does make me feel uncomfortable after about 30-45 minutes even when just using it as a big screen and having owned it for a year.
I did try some true VR games, but genuinely they make me feel sick after 5 minutes (and the graphics are awful). You can connect up the Quest 3 to a PC but that's a whole different level of faffing I cannot be bothered with.
I think the tech is good, but needs to get better on the resolution side, the demands of 8K optical ouput however I suspect is still a good few years away from the current 4K output. But for £200-300 it's a good bit of kit to have a play with.
