Meta typically rolls out its latest headsets towards the year’s end, causing them to usually skip the first wave of discounts until the following holiday season. However, this year turns that trend on its head with an enticing Black Friday offer for the Quest 3S, at least on Amazon.
Meta’s new Quest 3S hit the market a mere six weeks ago, so most of us didn’t anticipate any major markdowns on the device until well into next year. But lo and behold, Amazon US has surprised us with a compelling Black Friday special: the 128GB Quest 3S remains at $300, but it comes bundled with a $75 Amazon digital credit. Just be sure to tap the ‘Redeem’ button on the product’s page or use the promo code QUEST75 during checkout.
Essentially, Amazon’s credit stands in for cash to a lot of buyers, making it feel like you’re snagging the headset for just $225, which is an amazing deal—cheaper than even a Nintendo Switch.
The Amazon Quest 3S deal not only saves you money but also lets you enjoy a complimentary copy of “Batman: Arkham Shadow,” which we gave high marks in our review, along with a three-month trial of Quest+, offering access to an array of select VR games.
Bear in mind, though, that this sweet Black Friday offer only applies to the 128GB Quest 3S model. There’s no similar discount for the 256GB version or the higher-priced Quest 3.
What makes this deal truly standout? Well, the Quest 3S by itself delivers incredible bang for your buck at $300. To have a flash sale like this so soon after its release is genuinely unexpected.
If you’re on the fence about choosing between the affordable Quest 3S or splurging on the Quest 3, don’t miss our straightforward recommendation to help you make the best choice.
