Meta has a history of dropping its latest headsets towards the year’s end, usually with the anticipation that holiday sales for these devices won’t happen until the following year. But this year breaks the norm slightly, at least if you’re shopping on Amazon, which is offering a fantastic Black Friday deal on the Quest 3S.
Meta’s newest headset, the Quest 3S, barely hit the shelves a month and a half ago, so initial expectations were that any significant discounts wouldn’t be around until next year. To our surprise, however, Amazon in the US has unveiled a striking Black Friday promotion for the Quest 3S. The deal includes the 128GB model at its standard price of $300, but sweetens the pot with a $75 digital credit for Amazon. Just remember to click ‘Redeem’ on the product page or enter the code QUEST75 during checkout.
For many, an Amazon credit is as good as cash, effectively allowing you to snag the headset for what feels like $225, which actually undercuts the cost of a Nintendo Switch.
This deal also throws in the added perks you usually get with a Quest 3S purchase. You’ll receive a free copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow, a game we praised in our review, and a three-month trial of Quest+, which grants you access to a select library of VR games.
However, it’s important to note that this Black Friday offer is specifically for the Quest 3S 128GB model. There’s no similar discount available for the 256GB version or the more expensive Quest 3.
So, why is this deal so enticing? Well, the Quest 3S already stands out as an incredible value, given its $300 price and impressive features. We certainly didn’t anticipate any substantial offers like this coming so soon after its launch just last month.
If you’re sitting at the crossroads of whether to invest in the more economical Quest 3S or the Quest 3, don’t worry. We’ve crafted a straightforward recommendation to help guide your decision.
