"For Black Friday, Meta's popular VR headset, the Quest 3S, has dropped down by $50 to a discounted price of $249. This is the model with 128 GB of storage, whereas the 256 GB model costs $329. While this price isn't a new low, it's as cheap as this headset has ever been sold for. The devil's in the details with the different bundles on offer."
"All the different retailers come bundled with different games, which makes it confusing. This one offered by Amazon, for example, is a Gorilla Tag bundle, which is currently the most popular game on the platform. It's also a free game to download, but the bundle gets you in-game content (1,000 shiny rocks, for those curious). You might not want in-game content for a game you've never played."
"The Meta Quest 3S is the best VR headset to buy, and it has been ever since its release in late 2024. It was the cheaper follow-up to the Meta Quest 3, but was so good that it has outright replaced it. Our review called it "cheap, light, and easy to use." WIRED reviewer Boone Ashworth also complimented its ergonomics, calling it "the most comfortable VR headset" he'd ever used thanks to its weight and ability to stay cool while on your face."
The Meta Quest 3S 128GB model is on sale for $249, while the 256GB model is priced at $329. Retailer bundles vary widely and include different games, in-game items, trials, and gift cards, which can affect overall value. Amazon's bundle includes Gorilla Tag with 1,000 in-game rocks, Walmart's bundle includes Batman: Arkham Shadow plus a three-month Meta Horizon+ trial, and Best Buy's bundle includes The Walking Dead: Sinners & Saints plus a $50 Best Buy e-gift card. The headset is described as cheap, light, and easy to use, and praised for exceptional comfort and mixed-reality features.
