Meta typically rolls out its latest headsets towards the year’s end, which usually means you won’t find discounts until the following holiday season. This year, Amazon is shaking things up by offering an enticing Black Friday deal on the Quest 3S earlier than expected.
The Quest 3S, Meta’s newest headset, hit the market just over six weeks ago. Given that fresh release, getting a significant markdown wasn’t on anyone’s bingo card until sometime next year.
Surprisingly, Amazon US is rolling out a notable Black Friday offer for the Quest 3S: they’re listing the 128GB version at its usual price of $300, but they’re sweetening the deal with a $75 digital credit to use on Amazon. Don’t forget to click the ‘Redeem’ button on the product page or apply the code QUEST75 at checkout.
For many, an Amazon credit is practically as good as cash, which effectively makes the headset cost around $225. That’s a steal, especially when you compare it to other gaming consoles like the Nintendo Switch.
With this Amazon special on the Quest 3S, you’re also getting a free copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow, which we enjoyed thoroughly in our review, along with a three-month trial of Quest+. Quest+ opens up a library of select VR games for you to dive into.
However, keep in mind that this Black Friday special applies solely to the Quest 3S with 128GB of storage. Unfortunately, there’s no equivalent deal for the 256GB model or for the pricier Quest 3 variant.
So, why does this offer stand out? Simply put, the Quest 3S already packs incredible value at the $300 price point with everything it delivers. We truly hadn’t anticipated any deals this substantial since it just launched last month.
If you’re on the fence about whether to go for the budget-friendly Quest 3S or splurge a bit more on the Quest 3, we have a handy recommendation to help you decide.
