Amazon Prime Day is among us, which also means you can save a couple bucks on a brand new Meta Quest 3S.
Its only been a few months since Meta raised the price of Quest 3 and Quest 3S, essentially bumping prices across the board by $50 – 100.
Now, for Amazon’s June 23-26th Prime Day sale, you can actually get Quest 3S for the same or better than its previous MRSP depending on what you pick, which includes both 128GB and 256Gb storage options and various game bundles:
Additionally, all of the choices above come with three free months of Horizon+, Quest’s subscription game service that lets you download and play a load of VR’s greatest games for as long as you’re a member.
As for the decidedly less cheap and cheerful Quest 3, Meta is still sitting on its regular pricing, although you can save $50 when buying a refurbished unit direct from Meta.
Notably, Meta’s permanent price increase in April brought Quest 3 (512GB) from $500 to $600, while Quest 3S now regularly starts at $350 (128GB) and $450 (256GB).
At the time, the company chalked up the increase due to increased costs of RAM, which have inflated by a wide margin starting late last year—an issue fans of Valve’s upcoming Steam Frame will likely encounter when the company finally releases pricing information for its first standalone VR headset, which will very likely follow Steam Machine’s eye-blistering $1,050 lead.
