Usually, we see Meta rolling out its latest headsets towards the tail end of the year, leading to those tantalizing gadgets going on sale around the holiday season of the following year. This time around, though, things are shaping up differently. Amazon is breaking the norm with a tempting Black Friday deal on the Quest 3S.
If you’ve been keeping tabs, the Quest 3S headset hit the market a mere six weeks ago. Given how fresh it is, most of us expected to wait until next year for any significant price cuts.
But surprise! Over at Amazon US, there’s a fantastic Black Friday offer for the Quest 3S: it’s holding steady at $300 for the 128GB model. But here’s the kicker—there’s a $75 digital credit up for grabs on Amazon (just make sure to press ‘Redeem’ on the product page or use the code QUEST75 while checking out).
For many, an Amazon credit feels just like cash in hand, making this deal almost akin to snagging the headset for about $225. That’s a steal, even cheaper than a Nintendo Switch.
And here’s the cherry on top: when you take advantage of the Quest 3S deal on Amazon, you’ll also receive the usual perks. This includes a complimentary copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow, which we thoroughly enjoyed when we reviewed it, and a three-month trial of Quest+. This trial grants access to a curated selection of VR games.
It’s worth noting, however, that this tantalizing Black Friday offer specifically targets the Quest 3S 128GB model. Sadly, there’s no such deal for the 256GB version or the more premium Quest 3.
Why does this stand out as such a stellar deal? Well, given the Quest 3S is already a phenomenal value at $300 with all it brings to the table, seeing any major discounts this season was truly unexpected. After all, it was just launched a month ago!
For those on the fence about choosing between the budget-friendly Quest 3S and the more feature-packed Quest 3, we’ve got a detailed recommendation guide to help you decide.
