It’s a good time to buy a Meta Quest 3S virtual reality headset .
As Lifehacker’s resident VR aficionado, it is my expert opinion that the Meta Quest 3S is the best VR headset on the market, pound-for-pound. Even at full price, it’s way less expensive than any other “serious” virtual reality headset out there, it can handle any software the more expensive Meta Quest 3 can run, and, performance-wise, it’s comparable to its bigger brother . It’s also on sale for Amazon Prime Day . There are two configurations of Meta Quest 3S on offer for Prime Day, and each one is a great deal.
The Amazon exclusive, 128GB, Gorilla Tag Cardboard Hero Bundle comes with the everyone-is-playing-it game Gorilla Tag; in-game bonuses add up to a $45 value including 2 skins and 1,000 Shiny Rocks, and a 3-month trial of Meta Horizon+ for $249.00. (List price is $299.99.)
If you’d rather play the closest thing VR has to a AAA game, check out the 256GB Batman: Arkham Shadow bundle . It comes with Batman: Arkham Shadow and a 3-month Trial of Meta Horizon+ for $329.00. (List price: $399.99)
