First cash deal lands on the new 256GB Meta Quest 3S with Batman: Arkham Shadow and 3-month Quest+ down at $349 (Save $50)

After the first deal landed as a gift card during the Black Friday week last year, we are now tracking the very first cash discount for the new Meta Quest 3S headset down at $349 shipped. That’s straight up a $51 discount on the headset that debuted towards the tail end of last year carrying a $400 price tag. This is a great deal to cash in and snag the latest headset at a discounted price today if you were eyeing it. You can learn more about it below.

The Meta Quest 3S is very similar to the regular Quest 3 as they share a lot of the same features including the same powerful Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip and the same comfortable Touch Plus controllers. The new 3D headset has a bigger battery, though, meaning it’ll last longer between the charges. It’s also slightly larger compared to the Quest 3, but both have the same high-resolution displays for clear visuals. This Quest 3S bundle discounted today also comes with the new Batman: Arkham Shadow game and a free trial of Quest+, Meta’s VR subscription service. Be sure to stop by our launch coverage to learn more about the headset in detail.
