Yes, it’s not an earth-shattering offer, but considering how recently this device was released and how low the original RRP was, we’re frankly gobsmacked at Meta’s generosity.

The Meta Quest 3S was created as a budget-friendly version their flagship headset the Meta Quest 3, costing nearly £200 less.

Despite this, the mini-me still has a lot to offer in terms of specs, with a 90-120Hz refresh rate, 2.5 hours of battery life and incredible colour pass-through cameras with 4MP quality. Plus, it comes with two Touch Plus controllers and the new game Batman: Arkham Shadow.

The only real cons of the Meta Quest 3S compared to the Meta Quest 3 is its lower storage size – with the 3S only available in 128 or 256GB – and resolution – 1,832 by 1,920 compared to the 3’s 2,064 by 2,208.

But if that’s worth leaving, then now is undoubtedly a brilliant time to pick up this new headset.
