If you’re ready to dive into the world of VR, I have some great news for you: Meta, Best Buy, and a few other retailers have just dropped the first Meta Quest 3S deal of the New Year, carving a straight $50 off the 256GB headset.
In addition to the good old-fashioned price drop, your purchase will come with a free copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow and three months of Meta Quest Plus. All things said and done, the promotion offers a value of nearly $125. Considering that the VR headset usually costs $399.99 for the 256GB configuration, that’s a significant chunk of change!
Like I mentioned above, your purchase will come with three free months of Meta Quest Plus (usually $7.99 per month). This subscription service gives you instant access to a huge library of games and apps, plus you’ll get a free title curated by Meta every month.
As described in our glowing 4.5/5-star review, the Quest 3S is essentially Meta’s attempt at bringing a high-quality VR experience into the mainstream. The headset boasts many of the same great features found in the regular Meta Quest 3 — such as identical Snapdragon processors, mixed reality specs, and 8GB of RAM — just in a more-affordable package.
You also get access to all of the same games, albeit at a slightly lower resolution. Comparing the Quest 3S vs. the Quest 3, you’ll notice that the more-affordable headset doesn’t come with a 3.5mm headphone jack and the field of view is a bit narrower, but are these small drawbacks enough to justify spending another $150 on a Meta Quest 3? The choice is yours, but if you’re looking to try one of the best VR headsets at a reasonable price point, this deal is worth considering.
Now that you’ve saved a little cash on a VR headset, why not customize your experience with one of the best Meta Quest 3 & 3S accessories?
