Best Buy and Amazon both ran a pretty incredible Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S sale for Black Friday, but both promotions have ended as of December 1. Never fear, though, as we found three new deals that'll knock your socks off! Buy a Meta Quest 3 or Meta Quest 3S from Meta directly and they'll give you a $60 Meta gift card. This deal is exclusive and only available if you use our link!
Considering there's a 40% off games sale through the rest of the day today, that $60 can go further than normal in getting some of the best Meta Quest games right away. Just use the code BFCM24 at checkout on eligible games (look for the BFCM badge) to get the discount. We have a few recommendations if you're unsure what to pick.
If that's not good enough, Newegg is offering gift cards for free along with each headset! Get a Meta Quest 3 for $499 and get a $25 Newegg gift card for free, or save some cash and get a nice little surprise with a Meta Quest 3S for $299 which includes a free $10 Newegg gift card.
Lastly, Costco might have the best bundle of all time but the catch, of course, is that you have to have a Costco membership. Costco's bundle includes the 256GB Meta Quest 3S, which is normally $399, as well as a free Meta Quest carrying case (valued at $70), plus Batman and 3 months of Meta Quest Plus for just $325. Considering you're saving $144 by getting this bundle, that $65 Costco membership looks like a pretty slick deal!
✅Recommended if: You want the best VR experience money can buy. The Meta Quest ecosystem features thousands of great games, plus exclusive games like Batman Arkham Shadow and Assassin's Creed Nexus that you can't play anywhere else.
❌Skip this deal if: You're willing to wait for Cyber Monday on December 2 to see if there's a better sale. Black Friday this year was the first time we ever saw a Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S deal, so there's no guarantee you'll get anything at all if you wait.
There has never been a better time to get a VR console like the Meta Quest 3 or Quest 3S, as I wrote in my VR-focused weekly column on Thanksgiving. The Meta Quest 3 is the cream of the crop in VR headsets, featuring the best VR console hardware that doesn't need anything else to run. Think of it like a Nintendo Switch for your face, offering up brilliant immersive worlds and new types of games you've never played before.
Batman Arkham Shadow is included for free with the headset and marks the first major Arkham release in more than a decade. What's more, it's the best-rated Arkham game in 15 years and offers up a compelling new story with brilliant Metroidvania-style level design.
If that's not enough, the included 3-month trial of Meta Quest Plus will give you access to 22 more games for free, with 2 additional games added to your library every month. What's even better is that it's just $7.99 per month to keep after the trial ends, so the new games won't stop coming.
Once you grab the headset, be sure to check out the Meta Quest Black Friday games sale which features 40% off many of the best Meta Quest games. Just use the code BFCM24 at checkout on eligible games to get the discount.
