Usually when a tech device is a huge hit, it’s harder to find at a great sale price, because people are so willing to pay full-freight for it. But the Meta Quest 3S, which is Amazon’s #1 best-seller in standalone virtual reality headsets, is defying that rule and going on sale for its lowest price ever, just $269. Actually it’s a whole bundle that’s on sale right now at Amazon for just $269 — the Meta Quest 3S VR headset, a download of the awesome Batman: Arkham Shadow game, the Touch Plus controllers you’ll need for games and workouts, and a free 3-month trial of Meta Quest+. The free add-ons of Batman: Arkham Shadows and the 3-month Meta Quest+ trial add up to $70 worth of free bonus content. See at Amazon So Real It’s Crazy The Meta Quest 3S shares the same super-powerful processor as the more-expensive Quest 3 — the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2. Factor in this Amazon sale price and you’re getting the same processing power, same full-color passthrough technology for seamless transitions between VR and real-world settings, and many of the same other features you would get from the Quest 3 for a considerably lower price. It’s also a standalone device — the Meta Quest 3S doesn’t require a PC or gaming console for you to use. You just need a Meta account and a mobile device that you’ll use only for the inital setup. From there, the wireless VR headset and Touch Plus hand controllers are all you need to go along with your Meta account. Released this past October, the Meta Quest 3S is still selling like hotcakes at Amazon — over 10,000 more sold in just the past month. When you compare the Quest 3S to the previous-gen Quest 2 and see all of the upgrades and improvements, it’s easy to see why. The Meta Quest 3S has twice the graphics power of the Quest 2, and its advanced mixed-reality features are more interactive than ever. It’s also far easier to access social media accounts like WhatsApp and Instagram with the Meta Quest 3S. Don’t Forget the Games The Meta Quest 3S is great for social-media interaction and friend meet-ups, watching movies in the new and incredibly immersive Theater Mode, workouts, and even meditation sessions. But it’s a really amazing gaming platform, and this bundle comes with a free 3-month trial of Meta Quest+, which gives you access to a huge library of VR games, 2 new titles every month, and other great deals. The game that’s already built into the bundle, Batman: Arkham Shadow has been one of the biggest hit titles of the gaming world since it dropped last October. Arkham Shadow is the second VR Batman: Arkham game, and the amazingly detailed VR version of Gotham is every bit as grim and dangerous (and outrageously fun) as you would imagine it to be. Except this time you’re not seeing it on a flat screen — you feel like you’re actually in it, with the Meta Quest 3S headset and TruTouch haptics from the Touch Plus hand controllers giving you a powerful dose of reality. The Meta Quest 3S bundle with Batman: Arkham Shadow and free 3-month Meta Quest+ access is the perfect entrée into the ever-expanding world of VR interaction, especially now that it’s at its lowest price ever — just $269 at Amazon.  See at Amazon
