Meta doesn’t like to discount its Quest headsets. It used to give out gift cards on Black Friday while keeping the Quest 2 and 3 at full price, and the Quest 3 512GB hasn’t fallen below $499 since its 2023 launch. That context should make it clear how rare this $30 discount on the Meta Quest 3S 128GB ($269)<\/strong><\/a> is!<\/p>\n

Meta did discount the Quest 3S 256GB in January, but that still cost $350. At $269, the Quest 3S is nearly half the price of the Quest 3 with the same games and performance, though with downgraded resolution and FoV<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Meta Quest 3S<\/a> is one of the best VR headsets<\/a> available, and I wouldn’t hold out for a better price because Meta is running out the clock on its free Batman: Arkham Shadow credit<\/strong> for new Quest 3S owners. After April 30, you’ll have to pay the full $50 for this fantastic AAA title<\/a> that lives up to the hype as one of the best Meta Quest games<\/a> ever.<\/p>\n

The Quest 3S also comes with three months of Meta Quest+. Like Xbox Game Pass or PS Plus, you get access to a library of 30+ games<\/a>, plus two new games per month that you use it; it includes masterpiece Quest titles like Asgard’s Wrath 2, Walkabout Mini Golf, and Red Matter, enough content to easily fill three months of playing.<\/p>\n

Whether you keep paying for Quest+ after three months or not, you’re still getting one permanent $50 game and demos with dozens of games that mostly cost about $15\u201330 each, saving you a good chunk of money in the long run!<\/p>\n

If you buy the Quest 3S from Meta directly<\/a>, you can save $30 on the headset and another $20 on the official Carrying Case.<\/p>\n

Of course, I can also point you to a “free” Meta Quest 3S deal from Verizon, if $269 sounds like too much.<\/p>\n

Upgrade your home internet to Verizon 5G Home Plus, and the carrier will give you a free Meta Quest 3S 128GB (or 43-inch Samsung TV) to go with your plan if you use it for at least six months. Depending on how much you spend on internet now \u2014 and whether you prefer 5G or cable \u2014 getting the free Quest 3S could be the cherry on top of better service.<\/p>\n

If you’ve never tried a VR headset before, the Meta Quest 3S is a fantastic and affordable starting point to immerse yourself and your loved ones in virtual worlds, to see if you really like it before you upgrade to a costlier headset.<\/p>\n

Meta says this deal will last until April 26, but that may not apply to every retailer, so snag one now if you’re interested!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meta doesn’t like to discount its Quest headsets.
