The Best Meta Quest Black Friday Deal Is Now Live (Get a Quest 3 VR Headset for Just $360)
The holiday shopping season is officially heating up, and one of the most exciting deals to hit the market just in time for Black Friday is the refurbished Meta Quest 3 VR headset, now available for $359.99 at the official Meta Store on eBay. This offer comes with a generous 20% off coupon code “CYBERWEEK20” and includes an extended two-year warranty provided by Allstate, making it an enticing option for both new and seasoned VR enthusiasts. The Meta Quest 3, which typically retails for $500, has rarely seen significant discounts, making this deal particularly noteworthy. Previous promotions, such as during Amazon’s October Prime Day, sold out almost immediately due to high demand, indicating that this offer is not just a fleeting opportunity but potentially the best deal we will see this season.
The Meta Quest 3 stands out as the premier consumer-oriented standalone VR headset, boasting several enhancements over its less expensive counterpart, the Quest 3S. Both headsets are powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor and feature Touch Plus controllers with inside-out tracking and mixed reality passthrough. However, the Quest 3 excels with its superior specifications, including a sharper resolution of 2064×2208 compared to the Quest 3S’s 1832×1920, and a wider field of view (FOV) of 104°/96° as opposed to 96°/90°. The Quest 3 also utilizes an advanced pancake lens design, offering a more focused sweet spot and a better overall visual experience. With a substantial onboard storage capacity of 512GB, the Quest 3 is ideal for gamers who want to explore a vast library of VR content without the hassle of managing limited space. As someone who has personally logged over a thousand hours in VR games like Beat Saber, I can attest to the impressive capabilities of the Quest 3, making it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to immerse themselves in virtual reality.

I saw this deal once before during Amazon’s October Prime Day and it was so popular that it sold out within a day. This is easily the best deal I’ve ever seen on the Meta Quest 3 and you should absolutely buy it now over waiting for another deal during Black Friday.

Includes extended 2 year warranty
The Meta Quest 3 is the
best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset
and is a significant upgrade compared to its less expensive Quest 3S sibling. The two share the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, Touch Plus controllers with inside-out tracking, and mixed reality passthrough. However, the Quest 3 has a higher resolution, higher FOV display with a much wider focused sweet spot thanks to its superior pancake lens design. The Quest 3 also has much more onboard storage. For VR veterans who are sure to benefit from a better display, I would highly recommend the Quest 3 over the 3S. I own it myself (and
I reviewed it for IGN
) and have logged over a thousand hours in Beat Saber alone.
