If you overlooked the Black Friday and Cyber Monday discounts, this is for you.
The Black Friday and Cyber Monday promotions have passed, but if you missed the Meta Quest 3S offers a few weeks ago, you’re in for a treat. For a limited time, Walmart is bringing back a holiday deal that cuts a direct $50 off the 128GB variant of the Quest 3S, reducing the price to $249.
Along with the direct price reduction on the VR headset, you will also receive a complimentary copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow and three months of Meta Horizon Plus at no extra charge. As far as I can tell, this is the most appealing Quest 3S offer available online today, but I don’t anticipate it lasting for long!
The Meta Quest 3S has emerged as a highly favored gift choice this holiday season, and it is easy to understand why. The headset is essentially designed for newcomers to VR gaming, showcasing the same graphical processing capabilities as the standard Quest 3 at a much lower price point.
Indeed, as noted in our 4.5/5-star review, the Quest 3S is “essentially a Quest 3 equipped with the Quest 2’s lenses and display.” Priced starting at $299, the beginner-friendly VR headset also features improved hand tracking and low light tracking abilities, next-gen controllers, and full access to the same game library as the pricier Meta Quest 3. Moreover, the device is powered by the state-of-the-art Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor and comes equipped with 8GB of RAM right out of the box.
Certainly, if you compare the Meta Quest 3S directly with the standard Quest 3, you will see that the more budget-friendly model has a lower-resolution display and a narrower field of view than its higher-end counterpart, but you’re also paying at least $200 less for it. In other words, if you’re looking to dive into VR gaming for the first time, the Meta Quest 3S is the most affordable option, particularly with a $50 no-strings discount from Walmart.
