Meta’s Desperate Attempt to Unload Overpriced VR Headsets on Unsuspecting Consumers
Meta is peddling a "Play Now, Pay Later" scheme to desperate consumers, offering an interest-free monthly payment plan for its overpriced Quest 3 VR headset. The catch? You’ll be paying $24.99 a month for two years, just to get your hands on the 128GB model, with the 512GB version costing a whopping $10 more per month. That’s almost $200 more than buying the headset outright.
The Real Agenda: Pushing Meta’s Dubious Gaming Subscription
But what’s the real reason behind this "deal"? Meta is using this promotion to peddle its Quest Plus gaming subscription, which adds two games to your library each month. And if you stop paying, those games disappear into thin air. It’s a scheme designed to keep you hooked, with no escape from the cycle of debt and subscription fees.
Affirm: The Enabler of this Financial Frankenstein
Affirm, the buy-now, pay-later service behind this promotion, is complicit in Meta’s efforts to fleece consumers. By offering interest-free loans, Affirm is allowing Meta to shift the financial risk to unsuspecting customers, while keeping the profits for itself.
Don’t Fall for the Hype: This is a Trap
Meta’s "Play Now, Pay Later" plan is a cleverly designed trap, designed to ensnare consumers in a cycle of debt and subscription fees. Don’t fall for the hype – think twice before committing to this financial arrangement.
