This is the one gaming deal you won’t want to miss during the Black Friday sale

If you have a gamer in your life, Black Friday is your friend. From fantastic deals on the PlayStation 5 to big discounts on accessories, it’s a great time to buy holiday gifts for gamers. If you want to level up this year, consider the Meta Quest 3S. At $299, not only is it already reasonably priced for a virtual reality headset, it’s currently on sale thanks to Black Friday bargains. In reality, Amazon is currently offering a $75 digital credit when you purchase the 128GB version of the headset and use the code QUEST75 at checkout. Plus, Target is also offering a $75 credit. Both deals include the all-in-one VR headset, Batman: Arkham Shadow and three months of Meta Quest Plus.

While the standard Meta Quest 3 is undoubtedly the better headset, the Quest 3S isn’t as far behind as you might think. The picture quality is not that good, but you can still enjoy the same games and experiences. At essentially $225, there’s honestly no competition when it comes to price. The 128GB capacity is also less pronounced in a VR headset, as the game developers use magic to keep the storage size very low.

In addition to the free credit, you also get Batman: Arkham Shadow and a three-month trial of Meta Quest Plus with its ongoing catalog of games, so you’ll have plenty to play right away.

This deal only runs until the end of the month and is a great piece of technology to give as a gift, whether for yourself or someone else. Don’t miss it if you’re looking for your first foray into the world of VR headsets.

Why this deal matters

This is the first real deal we’ve seen for the Meta Quest 3S, and while it’s not a discount per se, you still get $75 back in credit from stores where you can buy just about anything. If you shop at Amazon or Target with any regularity (who doesn’t?), then it’s as good as money off. We’d be honestly shocked to see the Meta Quest 3S go for less than this anytime soon, and we’re already a little shocked that this deal is going through at all.
