Amazon Hits Meta Hard, the Quest 3S VR Bundle Just Got Suddenly a Lot Cheaper
"The Quest 3S represents the most affordable entry point into Meta's VR ecosystem, and for Prime Big Deal Day, Amazon is offering an exclusive Cardboard Hero Bundle at $299: This package includes the headset plus the Handiwork Helmet, Handiwork Armor, and 1,000 shiny rocks for Gorilla Tag, adding $45 worth of in-game content to sweeten the deal + three months of Meta Horizon Plus at no cost."
"This means you can blend digital objects into your actual environment, playing games where virtual characters interact with your furniture or working on multiple virtual screens while still seeing your room. The headset uses passthrough cameras to show you your surroundings in high-definition resolution, which makes the experience feel natural rather than disorienting. You can dial up the immersion and go full VR when you want complete escapism, or keep your environment visible when you need to stay aware of your surroundings."
"Meta also fitted the Quest 3S with the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 platform which provides twice the Quest 2's graphics performance. This means less stuttering in highly demanding games and sharper in-game detail that enhances the realism of virtual worlds. Better processing power also allows smoother operation of experiences that would stutter or lag in older headsets for a better immersion even in long gaming sessions or highly detailed virtual worlds."
Meta's Quest 3S offers an affordable mixed-reality headset with an Amazon Prime Big Deal Day Cardboard Hero Bundle priced at $299, including the headset, Handiwork Helmet, Handiwork Armor, 1,000 Gorilla Tag rocks (about $45 value), and three months of Meta Horizon Plus. The headset blends virtual and physical environments using high-definition passthrough cameras, letting users toggle between full VR and mixed reality. The Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 delivers roughly twice the graphics performance of Quest 2, reducing stutter and improving in-game detail for smoother, more realistic experiences and longer comfortable sessions.
