OMG Freakin FINALLY! The Meta Quest 3 gets its FIRST Black Friday sale

It’s hard to believe the Meta Quest 3 has already been around for two years now, but even harder to believe that the headset is only now just getting its first big Black Friday discounts. Grabbing a Meta Quest 3 at Best Buy today will get you a $75 Best Buy gift card, making it effectively $425.

Everyone’s got someone who wants something at Best Buy this holiday season (maybe that’s you!), making that gift card nearly as good as cash. The Meta Quest 3 is Meta’s highest-end VR headset, combining the best of crystal-clear VR imagery with its advanced Pancake lenses, with the impressive power of color passthrough mixed reality.

That means you’ll get the best of both the virtual and real worlds with this headset, including amazing mixed reality games, as well as immersive virtual reality games, all without needing to plug it into a console or PC. The Meta Quest 3 is a standalone VR console, which means you can take it anywhere and play whenever you want.

❌Skip this deal if: You’re a graphics hound and only the best will do. The Meta Quest 3 features the clearest lenses of any major VR headset but its mobile chipset can be somewhat limiting on visual quality. In that case, grab a PSVR 2 for $100 off instead.

While there are several other VR headsets to choose from, none offer a better overall experience than the Meta Quest 3. Here’s what you can expect from the Meta Quest 3 experience:

• Thousands of available games, including hundreds of exclusives like Batman Arkham Shadow, and Deadpool VR.
• Top-notch visual quality thanks to high-end Pancake lenses.
• No wires needed: just put it on your head and play games.
• Unique mixed reality games that transform your room into a virtual playspace.
• Freedom to walk anywhere and be more immersed in virtual worlds because of natural movement.

After you pick the headset up, I recommend checking out our ultimate Meta Quest 3 starter kit guide, which will set you up with the best accessories you can outfit your Quest with. Everything you need to get started is in the Meta Quest 3 box, but these accessories will help you get the most out of the experience, including improved headset and controller comfort, longer battery life, unique accessories like haptic vests, and more.
