I'm a huge fan of my Meta Quest 3, but to help you save even more, the Meta Quest 3S is the best VR headset for the money. Now, with this deal, there's tons of value up for grabs.

In our Meta Quest 3S review, we said it's the ideal headset for anyone curious about VR, but also beyond that. It comes packed with the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 performance as the Quest 3, along with all the regular feature updates it gets, such as the recent Horizon TV hub to watch the latest shows on a massive virtual display and Mixed Reality Link to boost productivity on your Windows 11 PC.

It loses out on the pancake lenses of its Quest 3 sibling, as it comes with the same fresnel lenses as the Quest 2. Otherwise, the Quest 3S is an absolute winner when it comes to making the most of the latest VR experiences out there for less.

While the Gorilla Tag Cardboard Hero bundle is nice to have, seeing as it's a popular multiplayer VR game (you'll get Handiwork Helmet, Handiwork Armor and 1,000 shiny rocks worth $45), it's the 256GB model that arrives with Batman: Arkham Shadows that I'd be eyeing up. Not only does this allow for more space for VR games and apps, as they will quickly start to hog space, but filling the shoes of Gotham's protector in this thrilling title is a must for all Quest owners.

It isn't just VR games, though. The Meta Quest 3S is also a great way to play through Xbox Game Pass' library of games in VR. So, think playing Halo or Forza Horizon 5 on a massive 26-foot display with impressive low latency. Just make sure you've got good, speedy internet, of course.

The Meta Quest 3S is still one of the best VR headsets you can grab, and for this price, this is value at its finest for all things VR. There are more sales out there, and we're tracking the latest and greatest deals in our Black Friday live blog.
