In the world of VR headsets, the Apple Vision Pro might be the new kid on the block, but with prices starting at $3,499, it’s prohibitively expensive for most. The latest Meta Quest 3 is a great alternative, and while it certainly isn’t a perfect system, it’s more than capable. Unfortunately, given that it’s still relatively new and a considerable upgrade from the Meta Quest 2, there aren’t any good direct discounts on it.
However, buying the 128GB version will net you a free game, while the 512GB model will also get you Meta Quest Plus for six months. The game and subscription add up to about $100, so it’s a good deal if you look at it from that perspective.
Unlike the Meta Quest 2, the Quest 3 embraces both virtual-reality and mixed-reality experiences, similar to Apple’s Vision Pro and last year’s Quest Pro. It costs a lot less than both those devices, though, with a $500 starting price.
Other improvements over its predecessor include a new Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, better graphics, a higher-resolution display and improved controllers.
We’ll continue to update this collection of Meta Quest 3 offers as more become available, so if nothing grabs you right now, check back later.

Similar to the Newegg deal, Amazon’s offer features both versions of the Meta Quest 3 and includes a free copy of Asgard’s Wrath 2 (a $60 value). Go for the 512GB variant for $649 and you’ll also get a free six-month trial of Meta Quest Plus along with Asgard’s Wrath 2.
