Black Friday Meta Quest 3S Deal Gives You $75 In Credit And A Batman Game

Meta just released its new entry-level VR headset last month, but there’s already a great deal on it for Black Friday. If you buy the Meta Quest 3S 128GB model for $300, you’ll get a free $75 gift card to use on your next purchase at Amazon or Target. The Quest 3S was already a bargain at $300 thanks to its inclusion of the new Batman: Arkham Shadow game as well as three months of Quest+ (gets you six free games), so we wouldn’t be surprised if this Black Friday deal sells out.

$300 | Free $75 Gift Card at Amazon and Target

To get the voucher, you can either click the “Redeem” box located beneath the price on the Amazon page, or you can use the code QUEST75 in the promotional box when you check out. This offer is only for the 128GB version of the Quest 3S, not the larger 256GB model.

Target has the same deal both in stores and online, so if you’d rather have a $75 Target gift card, you have that option. Target Circle members can save 30% on the Meta Quest Elite Strap when buying it alongside the headset.

You can also check out some handy accessories for the Quest 3S that are on sale right now. You can extend your VR sessions and keep your head cool with this combo unit from BoboVR for $72 (was $90), or if you just want to add some extra comfort, Kiwi Design has a plush head strap for $20 (was $40). The company is also offering its own upgraded head strap and an extra battery for $45 (was $70).

Designed to be a budget-friendly VR headset, the Quest 3S shares a lot of hardware with its big brother, the Quest 3. It has the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chipset and 8GB of RAM, and this model ships with a pair of Touch Pro controllers that you can use to interact with apps and games. The battery life on this model is also better–up to two-and-a-half hours from a full charge compared to the two hours on the Quest 3–but the compromises here include the use of the same 1832 x 1920 fresnel lenses found in the Quest 2, a narrower field of vision, and no depth sensor.

Overall, this is still a great headset for anyone looking to dip their feet in virtual reality, enjoy a few rounds of the John Wick-simulator Pistol Whip, or do some virtual tourism.

Sony is also offering a Black Friday deal on its wired PlayStation VR 2 bundle currently. Normally $600, you can get one with the stunning game Horizon Call of the Mountain for $349–a massive savings of $251. The standalone headset is also on sale for $349 (was $550) so these are some big discounts, but you will need a PS5 console to make use of this or a PC via a $60 adapter and SteamVR.

Fortunately, PlayStation’s Black Friday sale includes big discounts on the PS5 Slim and PS5 Slim Digital, so for a pure plug-and-play setup, you can get a great console that can handle VR games and traditional ones on your TV as well.
