Meta typically reserves its headset releases for the year’s end, with substantial discounts appearing only in the subsequent holiday season. However, this year breaks that trend—at least on Amazon, presenting a striking Black Friday offer for the Quest 3S.
The Quest 3S, Meta’s latest addition to the VR headset lineup, hit the market just about six weeks ago. Given its recent debut, a hefty discount wasn’t on anyone’s radar until perhaps next year.
Yet, Amazon US surprises us with a compelling Black Friday deal for the Quest 3S: while the 128GB model maintains its $300 price tag, it comes with a $75 Amazon digital credit. To snag this offer, remember to hit the ‘Redeem’ button on the product page or apply the code QUEST75 at checkout.
Since many consider Amazon credit as good as cash, this effectively lowers the cost to around $225, making it even more affordable than a Nintendo Switch.
Included in this Quest 3S offer is a complimentary copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow—an adventure we found delightful in our review—plus a three-month trial of Quest+, granting access to a selection of VR games.
It’s important to note, however, that this Black Friday bargain only applies to the Quest 3S’s 128GB version. Sadly, those looking for deals on the 256GB model or the premium Quest 3 won’t find similar discounts.
Why jump on this deal? Simply put, even at the regular $300 price, the Quest 3S stands out as a remarkable value, packed with impressive features. We certainly didn’t anticipate seeing such significant offers so soon after its launch.
If you’re weighing your options between the more budget-friendly Quest 3S and the Quest 3, our straightforward recommendation can help guide your decision.
