Meta Quest 3S Offers Major Discounts for Black Friday
The Meta Quest 3S, a budget-conscious virtual reality (VR) headset, is witnessing remarkable discounts as part of the Black Friday sales period. Retailers such as Amazon and Target are offering enticing deals to attract consumers.
As part of its Black Friday specials, Amazon is providing a Meta Quest 3S (128GB) inclusive of a free copy of the popular VR game, «Batman: Arkham Shadow», alongside a $75 gift card for other Amazon products. The gift card offer requires the use of the promotional code QUEST75 at checkout.
Similarly, Target has announced a comparable deal that includes the gift card incentive and provides an additional 5% discount for Target Circle Card holders. This makes the offer particularly appealing to those looking to purchase the headset through Target.
In the United Kingdom, consumers are advised to remain patient as deals could potentially mimic those in the United States. Currently, Argos presents a viable option with modest savings on the Meta Quest 3S, though there is speculation that Amazon UK might soon introduce similar bundled deals.
The Meta Quest 3S is constructed to be an economical choice without sacrificing too much performance. Although it lacks the enhanced display quality and sleeker design of the more advanced Meta Quest 3, it still provides satisfactory VR experiences thanks to its capable chipset.
For those able to extend their budget, the Meta Quest 3 remains a superior choice with its high-resolution displays, offering 2064 x 2208 pixels per eye. This model incorporates pancake lenses that contribute to a more comfortable design and reduced optical distortions compared to the fresnel lenses used in the Quest 3S.
The ongoing Black Friday sales have not yet highlighted similar discounts for the standalone Meta Quest 3, which retails at $499.99. Retailers promoting the Quest 3 with discounts are largely basing savings on its pre-sale reduction prices, which does not equate to a new Black Friday deal.
These offers reflect a broader trend of significant price reductions across VR headsets, catering to a market increasingly interested in the potential of virtual reality technologies.
