What would count as true or false
The test is whether Meta released the Quest 3 headset to consumers by 31 December 2023 at a US base launch price of about $500. A price of $499 or $499.99 counts as $500. True: Quest 3 went on general sale by the end of 2023 with a base model priced at about $500. Mostly true: it went on sale on time and the base price was about $500, but a minor detail differs, such as the price applying only to the entry storage tier or to US pricing only. Mostly false: it was released only after 2023, or the base price was clearly different from $500 (for example $550 or more, or $450 or less). False: Quest 3 was not released in 2023 and no $500 version existed, or the product was cancelled.

E3 Meta Quest 3 gets a permanent price cut, Quest 2 and Quest Pro discontinued Notebookcheck · 26 September 2024
“The Meta Quest 3 was announced in June 2023 but was released in October of the same year. When it launched, it was available in two storage options - 128GB with a price of $499.99 and a 512GB version that sold for $649.99.”
Reasoning
An independent article [E3] says Quest 3 was released in October 2023 and that the base 128GB model launched at $499.99, with a 512GB version at $649.99. Mashable's review [E2] says the headset would ship on October 10. Meta's own launch announcement [E1] gives the same date and price. So Quest 3 went on general sale before the end of 2023, and its base model cost the equivalent of $500, which meets the criteria for true.
