Meta Quest 3S: $70 Off?! Amazon's Black Friday Deal Stuns VR Fans!

Black Friday is officially upon us, and Amazon is kicking things into high gear with some killer deals on the Meta Quest 3S. If you've been holding out for the right moment to dive into the world of VR, now might just be it. They've brought back a deal so good, it's hard to ignore.

Meta Quest 3S: $70 Off?! Amazon's Black Friday Dea...

Specifically, the entry-level Meta Quest 3S 128GB, usually priced at $300, is down to a cool $250. But here's the kicker: this particular version is an Amazon exclusive and comes bundled with in-game content for "Gorilla Tag," plus a $50 Amazon credit. Think about it – basically getting a free game and a chunk of change back to spend on… well, anything else on Amazon! I remember when VR headsets were prohibitively expensive; this is seriously tempting.

If you're feeling a little more ambitious, there's also a deal on the Meta Quest 3S 256GB "Batman Bundle." This one will set you back $329 (originally $400), but it comes with "Batman: Arkham Shadow" (a $50 value, according to Amazon) and a $49 Amazon credit. So you're essentially getting a free AAA VR game and almost $50 to spend later. Not bad at all.

Interestingly, Amazon is price-matching Best Buy on these deals. Best Buy's 128GB bundle includes "The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners," which Amazon doesn't offer. However, if you're after the Amazon credit, the choice is clear. It's worth noting that these gift card deals initially appeared last weekend to compete with a Doorbuster deal at Best Buy. While the price remained, the credit disappeared… only to return in all its glory!

Here's a pro-tip: If you happened to snag a Quest 3S from Amazon between November 17th and 18th, it might be worth canceling and re-ordering to get that sweet $50 credit. Just saying. Amazon notes that the credit will be added to your account about a month after your order ships, and you have until March 20, 2026, to use it. Plenty of time to find something awesome.

"Batman: Arkham Shadow," by the way, is apparently a pretty impressive VR experience, faithfully recreating what it's like to be Batman. It's exclusive to the Quest 3 and 3S, so if you're a fan of the Dark Knight, this is a definite draw. The Quest 3S itself is a slightly streamlined version of the Quest 3, sharing the same processor and RAM but with slightly less advanced lenses. It's still a great-looking headset, plays all the same games, and even boasts a little better battery life – a win in my book. Anyway, happy shopping!
