Amazon and Best Buy have fantastic deals on the Meta Quest 3S this weekend. As part of Best Buy’s latest round of Black Friday Doorbusters, the Meta Quest 3S 256GB Batman: Arkham Shadow Bundle is $70 off and comes with a $50 gift card. Amazon is matching Best Buy’s price cut and throwing in a $50 gift card of its own. So while you will pay $329 (was $400) today, the gift card deal effectively cuts the price to $280. This is the best deal of the year on the Meta Quest 3S 256GB model.
Best Buy is also offering a $50 discount on the Quest 3 128GB bundled with The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners as well as the $50 gift card.
$329 (was $400)
Batman: Arkham Shadow is an impressive action-adventure game that faithfully recreates the experience of being the Caped Crusader in VR. It’s exclusive to Quest 3 and 3S headsets and is one of the showpiece games on the platform.
As mentioned, the $329 price matches the Prime Big Deal Days offer, but this deal is even better since it includes a $50 gift card to use on a future purchase at Amazon or Best Buy.
New Quest owners can also get a three-month free trial to Meta Horizon+. The subscription service typically costs $8/month and features a rotating library of games to play–similar to Game Pass–as well as two games to claim each month. The freebies remain in your library even if you cancel your subscription, so new Quest users are getting seven free games over the next three months.
$249 (was $299)
The Best Buy-exclusive 128GB Quest 3 bundle comes with The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, a VR-only survival FPS that retails for $20, and three months of Meta Horizon+. You also get the $50 Best Buy gift card freebie through November 16.
Amazon has two great Meta Quest 3S VR headset bundles in its Prime Big Deal Days sale. The 128GB base model is available for only $249, which matches the best-ever price for the best entry-level virtual reality headset around. As an added bonus, this is an Amazon-exclusive bundle with a bunch of free DLC for the popular online game Gorilla Tag. But if you love Batman, you may want to opt for the 256GB model, as it’s on sale for a larger $71 discount and comes with the very cool Batman: Arkham Shadow VR game.
Amazon is also offering discounts on Meta’s official Quest 3S accessories, including the Elite Strap, Elite Strap with Battery, Link Cable, Compact Carrying Case, and Carrying Case for headset with the Elite Strap. Take a look at all of the deals below before they expire on October 9 at 12 AM.
The Quest 3S is a lightweight, standalone VR headset that comes with two wireless Touch Plus controllers. It’s strong enough to play a wide range of impressive VR games directly on the headset’s internal hardware, including showpiece titles like Batman: Arkham Shadow, Asgard’s Wrath 2, and Assassin’s Creed Nexus. For VR games like Half Life: Alyx that are beyond its built-in capabilities, the Quest 3S can be synced to wirelessly to a gaming PC or with a compatible link cable. You can also cloud stream games and use the headset as a wearable projector to watch movies and TV shows.
Meta’s entry-level VR headset is a modified version of the more powerful and expensive Quest 3. Both models have 8GB RAM and use the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chipset, which is a noticeable leap forward from the Quest 2. Outside of storage differences–the Quest 3 has 512GB–the internals are the same. Both versions come bundled with the wireless Touch Plus controllers, too. The Quest 3 has more advanced lenses, which results in a larger, clearer image. That said, the Quest 3S still looks great and can play the same games, and it even has slightly better battery life (2.5 hours).
