Hi RottenBananaBoi 

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for bringing this issue to our attention. We totally get it, it's so frustrating when tech doesn't work right away! It looks like your Meta Quest 3 is stuck on the initial loading screen. We totally understand how this might affect your experience, and we know how excited you must have been to try out your new device. We're here to help, and we'll do everything we can to make things better.

We can see that you have already tried some troubleshooting on your own, and we really appreciate the effort. Usually we would recommend a Factory Reset as a last resort, and if this doesn't resolve the issue, we would look into your replacement/refund options. If you bought the device from a certified retailer, please contact them to return the headset or send us a private message so we can help you with the process.

We would just ask for some information about your account and device, and then we can start the return process with you.
