Meta typically waits until later in the year to roll out their latest headsets, with discounts generally not appearing until the following holiday season. This year, however, Amazon has thrown a thrilling twist into that tradition by surprising us with a noteworthy Black Friday sale for the Quest 3S.
If you’ve been keeping up, you’ll know that the Quest 3S just launched about a month and a half ago, which led us to believe that any significant price drops were still a ways off. But Amazon US decided to jump in early, presenting an enticing offer: snag the 128GB Quest 3S for the usual $300 and enjoy a $75 digital credit to use on Amazon. Just don’t forget to hit the ‘Redeem’ button on the product page or apply the promo code QUEST75 when you check out.
For many, that Amazon credit is practically like having cash in hand, which effectively brings the headset cost down to about $225—making it a steal, even compared to the price of a Nintendo Switch.
Alongside the headset, this deal includes some appealing perks: a complimentary copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow (a game we thoroughly appreciated in our review) and a three-month trial of Quest+ that gives you access to a curated collection of VR games.
It’s worth noting, though, that this remarkable Black Friday offer is specific to the Quest 3S (128GB) model. So if you’re eyeing the 256GB version or the more expensive Quest 3, unfortunately, you won’t find similar savings there.
So, why exactly is this such a compelling deal? Simply put, the Quest 3S is already a fantastic option, packing a lot of punch at a mere $300. Given its recent release, we certainly didn’t expect to see such an attractive bargain this soon.
For those undecided about whether to go for the budget-friendly Quest 3S or spring for the Quest 3, we’ve got a simple recommendation waiting for you right here.
