For Prime Day 2024, Amazon is offering the Meta Quest 3 128GB VR Headset for only $429.99, 14% off from its original $499.99 MSRP. This is the lowest price we've seen for Meta's latest VR headset, which we named the best VR headset of 2024 so far. Walmart and Best Buy had VR sales too, but Amazon's the only one still going as of July 17th.
Meta Quest 3 VR Headset for $429 Still on Amazon
The Meta Quest 3 is the best standalone, consumer-oriented VR headset you can get right now. It continues Meta’s legacy of offering a cost-effective headset that doesn’t require an expensive gaming PC, but can still benefit from one if you have it. That’s a unique feature that sets it apart from almost every other VR headset out there, other than its own predecessors.
The Quest 3 goes even further by offering us a ticket to mixed-reality gaming with a full-color passthrough mode that’s sharp enough to read things in the world around you, the lightest and most precisely tracked controllers available, and more. Add to that a sharper display, more powerful processor, and better controllers, the Quest 3 is clearly a superior headset when compared to its three-year-old predecessor.
At its current price of $429.99, the Quest 3 is less expensive than other competitors like the PSVR2, the HP Reverb G2, the aging Valve Index, and the HTC Vive XR Elite. Most of these other headsets also require a separate PlayStation 5 console or gaming PC to run it, which adds to the cost.
