Meta Quest 3S Just Dropped Its Price—And You Gotta See This!
Okay, let’s be real—VR headsets aren’t cheap. But here’s the thing: Meta just slashed the price on the Quest 3S, and honestly? It’s kinda wild. Whether you’re saving up for your first headset or just waiting for the right moment to upgrade, this might be it. I’ve been using one for a couple months now, and let me tell you—for the price? No brainer.
Why Bother With the Quest 3S?
It’s Actually Good (Like, Surprisingly Good)
- No Wires, No Problem: You ever tripped over a cable while trying to dodge a zombie? Yeah, me neither—because this thing is completely wireless.
- Screen’s Legit: I was skeptical too, but the resolution? Crisp. Like, “wait-is-this-real-life?” crisp.
- Controllers Get You: They track your hands scarily well. My coffee table has survived—mostly.
Seriously, Who Is This For?
- Casual Gamers: Beat Saber after work? Yes please.
- Fitness Nerds: There’s this boxing app that left me sore for days. In a good way.
- People Who Just Want To Try VR: Plug and play. No PC nonsense.
So… How Much Are We Talking?
128GB Version
Was: $499
Now: $429 (That’s $70 back in your pocket)
Good if: You’re testing the VR waters or just play occasionally.
256GB Version
Was: $599
Now: $519 (Save $80!)
Good if: You’re the type who hoards games like I hoard memes.
But Here’s the Catch
Meta does this thing where discounts disappear overnight. One day it’s there, next day—poof. Like my motivation to exercise after that VR boxing session.
How It Stacks Up Against Other Headsets
Quest 3S vs. Quest 3
Look, the Quest 3 is beefier. But here’s my take—unless you’re some hardcore VR enthusiast (you know who you are), the 3S does 90% of what the 3 does for way less money.
Against PlayStation VR2 and Valve Index
PSVR2 needs a PS5. Valve Index needs a gaming PC that costs more than my rent. The Quest 3S? Just needs you to have $429 and a living room with enough space to not knock over lamps.
Where Should You Buy It?
Best Places to Grab One
- Meta’s site (sometimes throws in free shipping)
- Amazon (check if Prime has extra deals)
- Best Buy (if you’re the “I want it today” type)
Pro Tips
- Sometimes they bundle free games—worth checking.
- Rakuten or Honey might squeeze out a few extra bucks in savings.
What People Are Saying
From Actual Users
“Upgraded from Quest 2 and holy crap—the difference is insane.” —Mark, who may or may not be me
“Battery could last longer, but for the price? Zero complaints.” —Sarah, who definitely isn’t me

Questions You Might Have
Is It Still Worth It in 2025?
Yep. Meta’s still updating it, and games keep coming. Not going obsolete anytime soon.
Can I Use It With PC?
Sure can—plug it in or go wireless. I prefer wireless because, again, tripping over cables.
How’s the Battery?
About 2-3 hours gaming. Less if you’re flailing around in Beat Saber on expert mode.
Any Hidden Costs?
Some games cost money. Shocking, I know. But there’s plenty of free stuff too.
Final Thought: Just Get It
Listen—if you’ve been thinking about VR, this is the deal. The Quest 3S does almost everything the fancy models do, just cheaper. And now it’s… well, even cheaper. Don’t overthink it. These prices won’t stick around forever.
