The 256GB model of Oculus Quest 3S failed to receive a Black Friday discount, in contrast with its lower-capacity and higher-end variants. Despite being the first Metaverse headset, it’s the primary one to offer a holiday sale running through December 24th.
The bundle (and another Amazon area) is priced at its standard $400, but includes a $30 digital credit from Amazon, effectively reducing the overall value to $370.
This offer accompanies the same promotion for all new Meta Quest headsets currently available: a complimentary copy of ($50) plus a three-month trial of Quest+, which provides access to select VR games.
The potential financial benefits are relatively modest. Although it’s only a fraction of the initial promotional amount – $75 allocated for the Quest 3S (128GB) and Quest 3 (512GB) during Black Friday and Cyber Monday combined, a sum that was significantly short of expectations. You could potentially redeem this balance as Quest store credit and utilize it to acquire high-quality games for your new VR headset.

The Quest 3S (256GB) initially missed out on the Black Friday sale, but now takes center stage as Meta’s flagship headset to receive a special deal for the December holidays. Until December 24th, in line with Amazon, this special offer will continue to run.
