So what are the top 7 Christmas presents for gamers in 2023 please?
Meta Quest 3
Into V.R? then this is a no-brainer, the quest has had a full revamp even down to the headset itself, which is now lighter, more powerful but more expensive, so if the person you’re buying for is new to V.R id buy them the quest 2 as its just had a major price reduction, but if they are already bourbles deep in V.R then the quest 3 is the way to go. For a more detailed review of the quest 3 check my post here
For people new to quest, one major benefit of the quest games is that if you don’t like the game, you can request a refund as long as you haven’t played it for more than 2 hours or had it for more than 2 weeks.
