Meta has a tradition of unleashing its latest headsets around the holiday season. Typically, these new devices don’t hit the sale racks until the following year’s festive times. But 2023 brings a twist to the tale, especially if you’re eyeing Amazon’s tempting Black Friday offer on the Quest 3S.
The Quest 3S is Meta’s freshest gear, having hit the shelves just about six weeks ago. Ordinarily, we wouldn’t have expected any hefty price cuts until well into next year.
However, Amazon US is shaking things up with a noteworthy Black Friday hook-up for the Quest 3S. The deal stands at $300 for the 128GB version, which is standard. But here’s the kicker: you also get a $75 digital credit to use on Amazon. Don’t forget to tap the ‘Redeem’ button on the product page or enter the code QUEST75 when you check out.
For many of us who shop on Amazon regularly, this credit is as good as cash, effectively bringing the headset’s price down to approximately $225. This is a steal, cheaper than even a Nintendo Switch.
The perks don’t end there. Along with the Quest 3S from Amazon, you grab a free copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow, a title we genuinely found entertaining in our review, plus a three-month trial of Quest+. This subscription gives you access to a rotating library of VR game selections.
It’s worth noting that this Black Friday bonanza is exclusive to the Quest 3S (128GB) model. Sadly, there’s no similar deal lined up for the 256GB version or the higher-end Quest 3.
So why jump on this offer? The Quest 3S already stands as an incredible value proposition at its $300 retail price, given all it packs. Frankly, we didn’t anticipate any major discounts on this piece of tech, considering it’s fresh out of the box.
If you’re still weighing your options between the more budget-friendly Quest 3S and the Quest 3, dive into our clear-cut guide for some handy advice.
