The 3S has lower resolution than the more expensive Meta Quest 3, and a slightly narrower field of view when used in augmented reality mode, but is otherwise equipped with the same processor and has access to the same library of titles available via the Quest App store.

Right now, Meta's virtual reality hardware pretty much rules the roost, balancing performance, comfort, and cost that other manufacturers have yet to match. The Quest 3S is the successor to the popular Quest 2 and blends some of the best aspects of the $500 Quest 3 with the nice parts of the older model, all for a very reasonable price.

The Meta Quest 3 has been out for over a year now. Compared to the Meta Quest 2, it comes with several improvements. Is it worth upgrading from the 2?

You'll also find a bunch of accessories on sale, including a nice carrying case and an upgraded head strap.

Plus, HMD’s Barbie flip phone, Ugreen’s MagSafe power bank with a face, and the Amazon Fire 7 tablet are cheaper than ever.

As of Jan. 14, the Meta Quest 3S (256GB) has dropped to $349 at Amazon. This is 13% off its list price of $399.99. The new year has kicked off with some great deals already, and the latest is worth checking out for gamers.

Arkham Shadow Bundle comes with the headset, controllers, the Batman game, and a three-month trial of Meta Quest+. You can get it for $349 (originally $399.99), its lowest price yet.

Amazon and other online retailers have discounted the Meta Quest 3S headset by $51, allowing those interested in the offer to grab the VR headset for $349 instead of $400. The Meta Quest 3S offers buyers an amazing opportunity to experience mixed reality with an entry-level VR headset.
