Holy frijoles! The Quest 3 is now $407 for a VERY limited time and I'm really going to have a Feliz Navidad now

Looking to get a Meta Quest 3 for someone this holiday season? There's NEVER been a better time than today, because Amazon has the lowest price of all time for the best VR console ever made! Get it now for $92.89 off, plus a $100 Amazon digital credit.

The lowest price we'd seen previously was during Black Friday when Meta was offering $75 gift cards with the Quest 3, but you still had to pony up $499 up front to get that. This time around, it's a cool $92.89 off with no BS, and Amazon even throws in a digital credit for your troubles.

We thought the Black Friday sale couldn't get any better, but then Amazon goes and does something crazy like this! This $407 flash sale is the cheapest out-the-door price you're going to find, and it even includes some nifty Amazon digital credit for renting or buying movies, books, and music.

Price comparison: Walmart - $499 | Best Buy - $499

✅Recommended if: You're looking for the overall best VR headset available, want an upgrade from an old VR headset, want to experience mixed reality gaming, or want to play hundreds of Meta-exclusive games.

❌Skip this deal if: You're a graphics hound and only the best will do. The Meta Quest 3 features the clearest lenses of any major VR headset but its mobile chipset can be somewhat limiting on visual quality. In that case, a PSVR 2 might be a better choice if you already have a PS5.

While there are several other VR headsets to choose from, none offer a better overall experience than the Meta Quest 3. Here's what you can expect from the Meta Quest 3 experience:

  • Thousands of available games, including hundreds of exclusives like Batman Arkham Shadow, Assassin's Creed Nexus VR, and Deadpool VR (to name just a few).
  • Top-notch visual quality thanks to high-end Pancake lenses.
  • No wires needed: just put it on your head and play games.
  • Unique mixed reality games that transform your room into a virtual playspace.
  • Freedom to walk anywhere and be more immersed in virtual worlds because of natural movement.

After you pick the headset up, I recommend checking out our ultimate Meta Quest 3 starter kit guide, which will set you up with the best accessories you can outfit your Quest with.

Everything you need to get started is in the Meta Quest 3 box, but these accessories will help you get the most out of the experience, including improved headset and controller comfort, longer battery life, unique accessories like haptic vests, and more.
