Meta Quest 3S Hits $250 in Early Black Friday Deal

Price Drop: Quest 3S 128GB now $250 ($50 off regular $300) at Best Buy and Amazon, lowest ever.
Bundle Perks: Includes $50 gift card, 1-month Xbox Game Pass, and The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners game, $110 value free.
256GB Option: $330 ($70 off), same extras; great for longer sessions with more storage.
Why Grab It: Standalone VR with XR2 Gen 2 chip, 8GB RAM, runs Quest 3 library, mixed reality apps; deal ends soon.

Best Buy kicked off early Black Friday with a standout deal on the Meta Quest 3S, dropping the 128GB model to $250, a $50 savings from its usual $300 price. This entry-level VR headset packs the same powerful XR2 Gen 2 processor and 8GB RAM as the pricier Quest 3, running the full library of games and mixed reality experiences without needing a PC. The bundle sweetens it with a $50 Best Buy gift card, one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for streaming flatscreen titles in VR, and the acclaimed Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners, adding $110 in value. Amazon matches the price, making it easy to snag before stock runs low.

The 256GB version goes for $330, $70 below its $400 tag, with the same perks, ideal if you want space for more apps or offline downloads. While the Quest 3S uses older Fresnel lenses (vs. Quest 3’s sharper pancake ones), it delivers crisp visuals and a wide field of view for immersive VR gaming like Beat Saber or Asgard’s Wrath 2. At this price, it’s a no-brainer entry to mixed reality, where you can overlay digital content on your room for work or fun. Twitter reactions are buzzing, with users calling it “VR for under $300? Sign me up” on the deal’s launch.

This deal stands out amid Black Friday previews, where Quest accessories like charging docks ($51.99, save $18) and battery straps ($51.99, save $8) are also dipping. For newbies, the 3-month Meta Horizon+ subscription comes free with purchase, unlocking more VR content. If you’re eyeing VR for holidays, the Quest 3S offers Quest 3-level performance at budget price, grab it while the bundle lasts.
