Meta Quest 3S VR Headset Discounted Extra $50, Plus Batman Game

Score a fantastic deal on the Meta Quest 3S VR headset! Amazon is currently offering a $50 discount, bringing the 256GB model down to just $349. This is a significant saving, especially considering the inclusion of Batman: Arkham Shadow VR and a three-month trial of Meta Quest+. This surpasses even Black Friday deals, which often involved less straightforward discounts.

Meta Quest 3S 256GB VR Headset

$349.00 at Amazon (was $399.99)

The Quest 3S significantly improves upon the Quest 2, boasting features like upgraded Touch Plus controllers, a powerful Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 APU, and full-color AR passthrough – all without a price hike. IGN's 9/10 review highlights its raw power and ease of use.

This deal stands out due to the Quest 3S's completely untethered gameplay. Enjoy titles like Beat Saber and Pistol Whip without needing a powerful PC or console. You won't find a comparable standalone VR headset at this price.

Quest 3S vs. Quest 3:

While $200 cheaper than the Quest 3, the 3S makes some compromises:

Similarities:

• Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor
• Touch Plus controllers
• 120Hz refresh rate
• Mixed reality passthrough

Differences:

• Lower per-eye resolution (1832x1920 vs 2064×2208)
• Fresnel lens vs. pancake lens
• Lower FOV (96°/90° vs 104°/96°)
• Smaller storage capacity (128GB vs 512GB)
• Longer battery life (2.5hrs vs 2.2hrs)

The Quest 3S offers nearly identical performance thanks to the same processor; the lower resolution improves battery life and potentially performance. It's a superior value proposition compared to both the Quest 3 and the previous generation Quest 2.
