Like I mentioned above, your purchase will come with three free months of Meta Quest Plus (usually $7.99 per month). This subscription service gives you instant access to a huge library of games and apps, plus you’ll get a free title curated by Meta every month. 

As described in our glowing 4.5/5-star review, the Quest 3S is essentially Meta’s attempt at bringing a high-quality VR experience into the mainstream. The headset boasts many of the same great features found in the regular Meta Quest 3 — such as identical Snapdragon processors, mixed reality specs, and 8GB of RAM — just in a more-affordable package. 

You also get access to all of the same games, albeit at a slightly lower resolution. Comparing the Quest 3S vs. the Quest 3, you’ll notice that the more-affordable headset doesn’t come with a 3.5mm headphone jack and the field of view is a bit narrower, but are these small drawbacks enough to justify spending another $150 on a Meta Quest 3? The choice is yours, but if you’re looking to try one of the best VR headsets at a reasonable price point, this deal is worth considering.
