0:00.0	Welcome to the TechMeme right home for Tuesday, June 24th, 2025. I'm Brian McCullough today. A new Xbox-branded meta-quest.
0:11.7	Amazon is expanding same-day delivery even more. What does it mean for the AI race if ChatchipT seems to be out-competing Microsoft's co-pilot offerings in the enterprise space. Why is Wall Street
0:22.0	leading the way on AI adoption? And what exactly is Mira Murati's big new AI startup going to do?
0:28.4	Here's what you miss today in the world of tech.
0:34.7	Microsoft and Meta have unveiled the $399 MetaQuest 3S Xbox edition, offering a few updates to the $299
0:42.9	MetaQuest 3S, available in extremely limited quantities, quoting Windows Central.
0:49.4	In the box, you get the 128-gabyte MetaQuest 3-S headset, not the more powerful 3, two MetaQuest controllers,
0:57.4	a pre-paired Xbox Bluetooth controller, a HoloLens style MetaQuest Elite Strap,

1:18.2	The headset and controller themselves come in an Xbox carbon black colorway, complete
1:22.4	with Xbox-style Velocity Green accents, and it looks incredibly nice, I must say.
1:27.3	The Elite Strap included is a huge
1:29.5	step-up from the regular Velcro fabric straps typically included in these headsets and comes with a
1:33.8	HoloLens-style dial for incremental adjustments. This is a vastly more comfortable option than previous
1:39.1	VR headsets I've used, so kudos for that. As much as I've railed on VR in the past, I have to admit,
1:45.2	the METAQuest 3S experience is a huge, huge step up from other headsets I've used, primarily
1:50.0	due to the inside-out tracking. The MetaQuest 2 was an absolutely frustrating experience.
1:55.3	Having to create boundaries and set floor heights every time you wanted to use it was a chore.
1:59.2	Wearing a huge blindfold on your face while losing access to your hands for anything other
