The Black Friday Meta Quest 3 deals and Quest 3S bundles are live, and we're shocked and delighted to see the new 3S get such a good one already despite only being released in October.
This will be the best time of year to pick up a Meta Quest VR headset, as we don't see anything beating the 3S deal. All versions of the boxed headset come with the two controllers as standard, but the extras take this Black Friday Meta Quest bundle above and beyond.
You get a free download code for the new Batman: Arkham Shadow game and a three-month subscription to Meta Quest+ to play a fresh rotating catalog of games. There's even a $75 Amazon digital credit to sweeten the deal. Just use the coupon code QUEST75 at checkout - all this for $299 on the 128GB model at Amazon. That's a $448 value, so a $148 saving today. Sadly, the Amazon credit coupon only works on the 128GB 3S. You still get Batman and the subscription bundled in with the other deals on this page.
Meta Quest 3S Black Friday deals
It's too soon to get a discount on the new Meta Quest 3S hardware, but the discounts on bundled extras are excellent today. All purchases currently come with a free download of the new Batman: Arkham Shadow VR game - which is lauded as one of the best titles you can play on the new headset. You'll certainly want to get it free, as buying the game separately costs $50.
When the older Quest 3 launched last year, it came with Asura'a Wrath 2 for free for a while, and that game still costs $60 if bought separately, so don't sleep on this on these Meta Quest 3S bundles.
Meta Quest 3 Black Friday deals
The full-sized Meta Quest 3 is an odd duck right now. It's only a year old and still an excellent piece of hardware with a slightly better resolution than the new 3S, but it costs $200 more.
Granted, you're getting a more advanced piece of kit (not by much, though, in all honesty) and a much larger storage capacity at 512GB instead of the 128GB/256GB options the 3S comes in.
Meta has kept up production, though, and like the Quest 3S, you can get a free code for Batman: Arkham Shadow with purchases, which adds another $50 value to the deal below. We'll keep our eyes peeled for further discounts over the Black Friday season.
What about the Quest 2?
The Meta Quest 2 (formerly known as the Oculus Quest 2) has officially been discontinued, and we haven't seen any new units in stock for quite some time.
Plenty of refurbished ones are knocking around, but most are more expensive than the new Quest 3S, which is a poor value today, given the Quest 3S is a more advanced VR headset than the Quest 2.
As such, we won't highlight deals for the Quest 2 unless they're ridiculously cheap - say $100-$150. And even then, they'll be refurbs/preowned.
When is Black Friday?
Black Friday lands on November 29, 2024. Cyber Monday is just a few days later, on December 2.
Will the Meta Quest 3 or 3S be on sale for Black Friday?
Both are already involved, yes. The main Quest 3 is over a year old, so it is in a great position to be discounted - and it needs one, to be honest, given the 3S is much cheaper and the best option for most buyers. So far, it's just bundled freebies instead of a discount.
The Meta Quest 3S was only released in October this year, but even so, it's come up with the best bundle options so far, with free extras worth up to $149 on the 128GB model.
