Thinking about getting into VR? Well, there’s never been a better time than now. Meta Quest 3 is one of the best headsets on the market right now, and it’s just been on sale at Amazon with a pretty big discount. It’s currently down to just $429.99 (or £409.99 in the UK on Amazon) at Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy.

This comes after the launch of the even cheaper Meta Quest 3S, which, while offering slightly less impressive specs, offers a great way for anyone to get into VR without spending a lot of money. The best Meta Quest deals right now are certainly on the Quest 3 and Quest 3S, especially since the Quest 3S includes Batman Arkham Shadow at no extra cost.

We gave this VR headset a 9/10 in our Meta Quest 3 review. Writer Eric Song stated, “The Quest 3 continues Meta’s tradition of offering a low-cost headset that doesn’t require an expensive gaming PC, but can still benefit from one if you have one.” He continued, “The Quest 3 goes even further by giving us a ticket to mixed reality gaming with a full-color passthrough mode that’s sharp enough to read things in the world around you, the lightest and most accurately tracked controllers on the market, and more.”

Pre-orders for Meta Quest 3S include Batman Arkham Shadow

During the Meta Connect event, the Meta Quest 3S was officially unveiled. This is a cheaper alternative to the Meta Quest 3. The 128GB model costs $299.99 and the 256GB model costs $399.99. That’s up to $200 cheaper than the Quest 3, making it a fantastic time to get in on the VR fun with the latest version. Not to mention, you get: Batman: Arkham Shadow and a 3-month trial of Meta Quest+ free with your purchase. This is an insanely good investment! You can pre-order it at the links below.
