Cyber Monday Meta Quest 3 deals: Save $174 on new 3S bundle with this coupon
- The Meta Quest 3S bundle Cyber Monday deal offers a $100 Amazon digital credit (use the coupon code QUEST100 at checkout), 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. All this for $299 on the 128GB model at Amazon, a $174 saving. Discounts are also available for the Meta Quest 3S (256GB) and Meta Quest 3 (512GB) bundles.
- However, the Meta Quest 3 is an older device that costs $200 more than the new 3S. It has a slightly better resolution and comes with a larger storage capacity at 512GB. It also comes with a free code for Batman: Arkham Shadow with purchases, which adds another $50 value to the deal.
- Meta Quest 3S hardware discounts are not yet available on Cyber Monday, but the bundled extras are available at discounted prices, including the free download of the new Batman: Arkham Shadow VR game, which costs $50 if bought separately.
- No deals are likely to show up for the Quest 2, as it has been officially discontinued. Only refurbished ones are available, which are mostly more expensive than the new Quest 3S. Unless deals for the Quest 2 are available for $100-$150, or it's pre-owned, we will not highlight them.
- Cyber Monday starts on December 2, and hardware deals usually end right at the end of Cyber Monday itself. Discounts are already available for both the Meta Quest 3S and the Meta Quest 3, but it is recommended to opt for the 3S bundle to benefit from its low price and value-added features.
- For more information on the latest VR headset from Meta, the Quest 3S, read the full Meta Quest 3S review.
