Amazon is offering a huge discount on the Meta Quest 3 512GB this Black Friday, with the price slashed to £468.48, down by £151.51 from its usual retail price. This is the lowest price ever for the device, according to the price tracking website camelcamelcamel. Other retailers like Very, Currys, and Meta direct are also offering reduced prices for the gadget, starting from £468.89. In addition to the discounted price, buyers will receive a free copy of the new Batman: Arkham Shadow game and a three-month trial of Meta Quest+. This trial includes two free games each month at no extra charge.
The Meta Quest 3 is known as the brand’s ‘most powerful’ mixed reality headset, providing ‘next-level’ performance with more than double the graphic processing power of the Quest 2. For just £468.48, customers can purchase the headset, the new Batman: Arkham Shadow game, and a three-month trial of Meta Quest+ without any additional charges. The device promises a more immersive gaming experience with enhanced visuals, a wider field of vision, and a 4K+ Infinite Display, which has increased the resolution by nearly 30% compared to the previous model. It also features rich 3D audio with improved sound clarity, bass performance, and a volume range that is 40% louder.
Meta has also introduced a more budget-friendly option, the Meta Quest 3S, which offers high-definition gameplay with a resolution of 1832×1920 pixels per eye and comes with 128GB of storage. The 3S is currently out of stock on Amazon but can be purchased from other retailers starting at £275. Despite the lower price of the 3S, the Meta Quest 3 has received over 1,500 four and five-star reviews on Amazon, with customers praising its performance, design, and immersive experience.
While the Meta Quest 3 has garnered positive reviews, some users have mentioned that the battery life may be a drawback, lasting just a couple of hours initially and dropping to over an hour after months of use. However, overall, customers seem to be highly satisfied with the VR headset, describing it as a game-changer in mixed reality technology.
In the virtual reality headset market, the Meta Quest 3 faces competition from devices like the PlayStation VR2. The VR2 is praised for its ‘next generation’ of VR gaming, offering intuitive controls and stunning 4K HDR visuals. Shoppers can find the VR2 at various retailers, including Amazon, Game, and PlayStation, with prices ranging from £339 to £349.99, discounted from the original price of £529.99.
