A comparison of the Meta Quest 3 and Meta Quest 3S to determine which is the better product in terms of design, price, processing, graphics, controls, and more.

This Black Friday Amazon is giving you a Meta Quest 3S, a free copy of Batman: Arkham Shadow and a free $75 gift card (if you use code QUEST75) to spend on other Amazon products. Target is offering the same gift card deal, and giving Target Circle Card holders 5%-off on top if you'd prefer to shop there.

As VR games ramp up with Meta’s new family of products, the new Quest 3S is a brilliant budget headset, though it has some issues too.

Now that Meta's Quest 3S is here, the price of the Quest 3 has dropped significantly from $649 to $499. It's an excellent VR headset, but now it's more affordable, which is a definite win. It also comes with the fantastic Batman: Arkham Shadow and 3-month subscription to Quest+ at no extra cost, which we think is exceptional value.

This $299 headset provides an entire self-contained entertainment system, delivering stunning mixed reality, incredible gaming, and more for much less than any other comparable setup.
