Meta typically introduces its latest headsets towards the end of the year, which usually means you won’t find them on sale until the following holiday season. This year, however, Amazon is shaking things up with a noteworthy Black Friday deal on the Quest 3S.
Only about six weeks have passed since the debut of Meta’s newest headset, the Quest 3S. Understandably, we were not anticipating any major price drops on it until some time next year.
But Amazon US has surprised us with a tempting Black Friday offer for the Quest 3S: still priced at $300 for the 128GB version, but with an added bonus of a $75 Amazon digital credit. Be sure to hit that ‘Redeem’ button on the product page, or use the code QUEST75 when you check out.
For many shoppers, that digital credit is as valuable as cash, effectively bringing the headset’s cost down to $225. When you consider that, it’s even more budget-friendly than a Nintendo Switch.
Alongside this Quest 3S deal, you’ll enjoy some additional perks: a complimentary copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow—which received high marks in our review—and a three-month trial of Quest+, granting access to a curated selection of VR games.
However, it’s important to note that this Black Friday special is exclusively for the 128GB Quest 3S model. Unfortunately, similar offers haven’t extended to the 256GB version or the more expensive Quest 3.
Why is this deal worth your attention? The Quest 3S already stands out with its impressive features at the attractive base price of $300. We genuinely didn’t expect to catch any significant offers for the headset so soon after its launch last month.
And if you’re debating between the more budget-friendly Quest 3S or the Quest 3, you might want to take a look at our detailed recommendation right here.
