Meta typically rolls out its latest headsets at the year’s end, which means you usually have to wait until the following holiday season for any discounts. However, this year bucks the trend, particularly for Amazon customers, who can snag an enticing Black Friday deal on the Quest 3S.
The Quest 3S, Meta’s latest creation, just hit the market a short six weeks ago. As such, we weren’t holding our breath for any deep discounts to surface until much later, perhaps sometime next year.
Surprisingly, Amazon US is offering a standout deal on the Quest 3S for Black Friday. You can pick up the 128GB model at the regular price of $300, but it comes with an added bonus—a $75 digital credit for Amazon. Remember to hit the ‘Redeem’ button on the product page or enter the code QUEST75 during checkout to take advantage of this offer.
Given that many folks treat Amazon credit almost like cash, it effectively brings down the cost of the headset to around $225, making it even cheaper than buying a Nintendo Switch.
The deal includes some nice perks too—you’ll receive a complimentary copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow, a game we thoroughly enjoyed during our review, alongside a three-month trial of Quest+, which gives you access to a selection of VR games.
It’s worth noting that this Black Friday offer is exclusive to the Quest 3S (128GB) model. Unfortunately, there are no similar deals for the 256GB version or the pricier Quest 3.
So why is this deal such a steal? Well, the Quest 3S already represents fantastic value at $300, with all the features it packs in. The fact that it’s already seeing discounts was unexpected, given its recent launch.
For those on the fence about whether to go for the more budget-friendly Quest 3S or the Quest 3, we’ve put together a handy guide to help you make that decision.
