This is a record-low price for the 128GB VR headset, as it typically costs $300. It comes with a download code for <a data-i13n="cpos:2;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/batman-arkham-shadow-is-the-first-big-exclusive-vr-game-for-the-quest-3-154210616.html">Batman: Arkham Shadow[/url] and a three-month trial for Meta Quest+. This is the platform’s version of <a data-i13n="cpos:3;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/metas-quest-subscription-offers-two-vr-titles-per-month-153724017.html">Game Pass or PS Plus[/url], with an extensive catalog of playable titles.</p>
<p>The Quest 3S made our list of the <a data-i13n="cpos:4;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/ar-vr/best-vr-headsets-140012529.html">best VR headsets[/url], and for good reason. It offers a similar experience to the standard Quest 3, with just a couple of cut corners. This means that the graphics fidelity is a bit lower with the 3S, as it doesn’t have those sweet pancake lenses.</p> <span id="end-legacy-contents"></span>

<p>However, it does have the exact same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip as the Quest 3 and uses the same Touch Plus controllers. They offer decent motion controls and responsive joysticks and buttons. There’s no headphone jack, but we found the speakers to be adequate in most cases. Plus, you can always insert a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter or just pair wireless headphones.</p>
<p>Just like the original Quest 3, this one can connect to gaming PCs over USB-C or wirelessly. This allows folks to play AAA titles intended for power-hungry computers and not standalone VR headsets. It can also wirelessly stream gameplay to Chromecast devices or to AirPlay devices by mirroring the Quest app from an iPhone.</p>
<p>We called it "impressive VR for $300" <a data-i13n="cpos:5;pos:1" href="https://www.engadget.com/ar-vr/meta-quest-3s-review-impressive-vr-for-300-130013596.html">in our official review[/url]. This is even more true with today’s sale. The only caveat here is this is the 128GB version, which could fill up pretty fast. Batman: Arkham Shadow, for instance, is around 20GB. The 256GB model <a data-i13n="elm:affiliate_link;sellerN:Amazon;elmt:;cpos:6;pos:1" href="https://shopping.yahoo.com/rdlw?merchantId=66ea567a-c987-4c2e-a2ff-02904efde6ea&amp;siteId=us-engadget&amp;pageId=1p-autolink&amp;contentUuid=d2a007c7-0bf1-473a-85aa-880eea03ee66&amp;featureId=text-link&amp;merchantName=Amazon&amp;custData=eyJzb3VyY2VOYW1lIjoiV2ViLURlc2t0b3AtVmVyaXpvbiIsImxhbmRpbmdVcmwiOiJodHRwczovL3d3dy5hbWF6b24uY29tL01ldGEtUXVlc3QtM1MtMTI4R0ItQWxsLU9uZS9kcC9CMERESlpXM0M5Lz90YWc9Z2RndDBjLTIwIiwiY29udGVudFV1aWQiOiJkMmEwMDdjNy0wYmYxLTQ3M2EtODVhYS04ODBlZWEwM2VlNjYiLCJvcmlnaW5hbFVybCI6Imh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmFtYXpvbi5jb20vTWV0YS1RdWVzdC0zUy0xMjhHQi1BbGwtT25lL2RwL0IwRERKWlczQzkvIiwiZHluYW1pY0NlbnRyYWxUcmFja2luZ0lkIjp0cnVlLCJzaXRlSWQiOiJ1cy1lbmdhZGdldCIsInBhZ2VJZCI6IjFwLWF1dG9saW5rIiwiZmVhdHVyZUlkIjoidGV4dC1saW5rIn0&amp;signature=AQAAAcXz8u5Qu54LUz7WE-3IJdyQlgm_2rsjAQL-qYdPZhcN&amp;gcReferrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FMeta-Quest-3S-128GB-All-One%2Fdp%2FB0DDJZW3C9%2F" class="rapid-with-clickid" data-original-link="https://www.amazon.com/Meta-Quest-3S-128GB-All-One/dp/B0DDJZW3C9/?th=1">is on sale for $369[/url] instead of $400.&nbsp;</p>
