Meta teased an Xbox-branded Quest VR headset last year when it announced the launch of the Xbox app on Quest, and it’s finally here. The brand’s new Xbox-branded limited-edition Quest 3S VR headset is now official and it’s going on sale today for $399.99 shipped at Best Buy and meta.com. This is essentially a custom colorway headset that comes bundled with an Xbox controller, and it boots directly into the Xbox app. Head below for more details.
Update: The new Meta Quest 3S VR headset now live on Amazon. Pre-order 128GB variant at $299.99 and 256GB at $399.99 shipped, with pre-order price guarantee.
Meta has finally announced its new Quest 3S VR headset, which delivers a lot of the same features as the Quest 3 for a relatively affordable price. The new Meta Quest 3S is now available to pre-order and it starts shipping on October 15. You can pre-order either the 128GB Quest 3S for $299 shipped or the 256GB Quest 3S for $399 shipped from Amazon and Walmart and Meta’s online store. Head below for more details and a closer look.
Update: The Meta Quest 2 is now down to just $199 at Amazon.
Amazon is now offering the Meta Quest 2 with Active Pack at $218.57 shipped. This is down from its usual $310 price tag and marks a new all-time low on this bundle. We last saw the headset on its own for $250 over the holidays with a $50 credit attached. This offer isn’t quite the same value, but you’ll have to spend less to bring home the VR experience and some extra gear. Back when we first reviewed the headset, we noted that it was a “huge leap in the right direction for VR.” That leap forward still stands today, as this is one of the best values around for virtual reality.
Meta is no stranger to the gaming space at this point, but something they’re just now getting into is the game subscription space. In a post on the Meta blog, we now have details on Quest+, a VR subscription service that gives you two hand-picked VR titles every month for just $8/mo or $60/yr. And, to kick things off, Meta is offering the first month for just $1. Ready to find out what games are part of Meta Quest+ and how it all works? We break everything down below the fold.
Through the end of the day, Woot now offers the Meta Quest 2 256GB VR Headset for $459.99 shipped. Normally fetching $500, you’re looking at $40 in savings and quite the rare chance to save. We’ve only seen a single cash discount land on this model since joining the smaller capacity model, with a Black Friday discount in November beating today’s offer by an extra $10. That makes this the second-best price to date, too. Whether you know it by the Oculus or Meta naming scheme, the Quest 2 delivers an untethered virtual reality experience that doesn’t need an external PC or sensors to experience all of the immersion that VR has to offer. You’re also getting a pair of controllers that take the interactivity to a new level for diving into games like Among Us VR and more. Meta is also removing the need to log in with FaceBook, as well. Get a closer look in our hands-on review where we noted it was a “huge leap in the right direction for VR.” Then head below for more.
