If you’ve been waiting for the right time to get into VR gaming, take note: Best Buy just dropped one of the best Meta Quest 3S deals I’ve seen all year. As part of the retailer’s sitewide Father’s Day sale, you’ll receive a straight $30 off the 128GB headset if you place your order today,<\/strong><\/a> along with a free copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow and three months of Meta Horizon Plus at no additional cost.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In other words, you’re looking at a total of $110 in value on a VR headset<\/a> that only retails for $299.99. If that’s not a good deal, I don’t know what is.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you’re unfamiliar, the Quest 3S<\/a> is basically Meta’s attempt at bringing VR gaming to a wider audience by lowering the cost and simplifying some of the hardware.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You get access to the same processing power and library of games as the standard Meta Quest 3, plus some next-gen controller support and upgraded hand tracking. You also enjoy 8GB of RAM and outstanding battery life, and all of the best Meta Quest 3 accessories<\/a> should work with the Quest 3S with zero issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the Quest 3S has a narrower field of view than its counterpart, and the lower-res display means that you’ll take a hit in the graphics department. Aside from those minor issues, however, casual gamers comparing the Quest 3S vs the Quest 3<\/a> will find that these drawbacks are pretty inconsequential.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And when you consider that the Quest 3S is a full $300 cheaper than the 512GB Quest 3 before you attach any deals (which is the only storage configuration you can buy nowadays), these concessions seem like a small price to pay for one of the best VR gaming experiences around.<\/p>\n
