It’s hard to beat the promise of a big box for one-stop shopping. Target is one of my favorites if I want to browse without an agenda because inevitably I’ll stumble upon something fun or on sale. Or in the case of this Black Friday deal, both. Target is currently sold out Meta Quest 3S for $300 as is Amazon. That’s the usual price tag for this virtual reality headset, but both retail sales include a $75 gift card with the tech (use code at Amazon QUEST75 to buy.) This involves a lot of impulse buying.
For the virtual reality enthusiast, the Meta Quest 3S has a lot to recommend it. In fact, it is our choice the best budget VR kit. Even if you invest in a lower-end VR headset, you’ll want to have plenty of software to run on it. The Quest 3S has a large software library that can be used to stream games from a PC. Although some headphones are uncomfortable to wear for long periods of time, reviewer Devindra Hardavar found this not to be an issue with the Quest 3S. While making some sacrifices in screen and lenses to keep costs down, this kit still delivers a powerful, immersive virtual reality experience.
Content included with any Quest headset purchase will help you get started in VR. Batman: Shadow of Arkham is one of the most notable exclusives for Meta’s Quest 3 and Quest 3S, continuing the lineage of the Arkham gaming universe originally developed by Rocksteady Studios. You’ll also get a three-month subscription to the Meta Quest+ game catalog. After the trial period, maintaining the subscription will cost $8 per month. Or use that gift card and choose a title to save.
