PSA: The 512 GB Meta Quest 3 headset is now $150 cheaper
At this week’s Meta Connect event, Meta announced a new entry-level headset, the Meta Quest 3S, which starts at $299.99 for the 128 GB model but also has 256 GB version for $100 more. But the company also dropped the price of its premium Meta Quest 3 headset, with the 512 GB version now costing $499.99 (was $649.99). If you don’t want to wait on the Quest 3S’s Oct. 15 launch, you can still benefit from the lineup refreshments by picking up the top-tier model today at $150 cheaper than it used to cost.
This also means the 128 GB version of the Meta Quest 3 is being sunsetted, and while Amazon has already stopped selling that version, GameStop is offering this lower-storage version of Quest 3 for $429.99, or as low as $404.99 if you have GameStop Pro. Even at that cost, we’re hesitant to recommend anyone pick up the 128 GB model — the 128 GB Quest 3S will be more than $100 cheaper, and by all accounts, it looks to be fairly comparable feature-wise. Still, if storage is not an concern and you’re looking for something to have next week, $400 is around the lowest price we’ve historically seen the Quest 3 to date.
