Quest 3S Black Friday Deal Exceeds Expectations

Every year, like clockwork, Meta rolls out its latest headsets toward the year’s end. This timing usually means that any significant markdowns on the headset are off the table until the following holiday season. However, in a surprising twist this year, Amazon’s stepping up its game, offering a striking Black Friday deal for the Quest 3S.

The Quest 3S, Meta’s newest VR headset, hit the market just over six weeks ago. We hardly anticipated any drastic price cuts on this model until sometime next year.

Yet here we are, with Amazon in the U.S. presenting a fetching offer for Black Friday: $300 for the 128GB version, sweetened with a $75 digital credit from Amazon itself. Just remember to click ‘Redeem’ on the product page or enter the code QUEST75 during checkout.

For many regulars on Amazon, that credit feels almost like real money. Effectively, it’s akin to snagging the headset for $225, making it more budget-friendly than even a Nintendo Switch.

This Amazon Quest 3S deal also bundles in a free copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow, which we thoroughly enjoyed when we tested it, along with a three-month trial of Quest+. With Quest+, you gain access to a curated selection of VR games, expanding your immersive experience from the get-go.

However, this Black Friday bargain is limited to the Quest 3S model with 128GB of storage. There’s no equivalent offer for the 256GB version or the higher-priced Quest 3.

So, what makes this deal stand out? Well, the Quest 3S already offers tremendous value, packing all its features at a cool $300. Given that the headset was released just last month, this kind of discount is something even we didn’t see coming this holiday season.
