Meta Quest Offers Affordable Entry to VR with $50 Discount
The $299.99 Meta Quest 3S combines Quest 3 hardware with Quest 2 design, delivering solid performance and a free Batman VR game for a limited time.
- The Meta Quest 3S is a budget-friendly VR headset priced at $299.99, offering a $200 savings compared to the Quest 3, with a current discount bringing the 256GB version to $349 on Amazon.
- The headset features the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor as the Quest 3 but uses bulkier Fresnel lenses and offers slightly lower resolution and field of view.
- Meta is bundling the critically acclaimed Batman: Arkham Shadow VR game for free with the Quest 3S until the end of April, alongside a three-month Meta Quest+ subscription.
- The standalone device supports wireless VR gaming, mixed reality features, and access to Meta’s extensive library, including popular titles like Beat Saber and Resident Evil 4.
- While the Quest 3S offers strong value, it retains some VR limitations, such as its physicality and limited appeal for non-gaming use, making it best suited for new or casual VR users.
