It’s worth the wait! Best Buy has launched a surprise Meta Quest 3 Black Friday sale
We’ve seen a lot of great Black Friday sales so far, but unfortunately none of them were for the Meta Quest 3, until recently. Best Buy has launched a surprise Meta Quest 3 Black Friday doorbuster sale, which gets you Batman Arkham Shadow with the headset, a three-month Meta Quest Plus subscription, and a $75 Best Buy gift card at no extra cost.
Remember, this is a doorbuster sale, so it won’t last long! If you’re thinking about buying a Quest 3 this year, this is the deal you’ve been waiting for.
This deal is for the 512GB Meta Quest 3, which was $650 just two months ago. Now at $499, the headset is the same price as the previous 128GB MetaQuest 3. So far, we’ve seen Best Buy and Amazon offer gift cards with the MetaQuest 3S, which is a lower-priced headset. The MetaQuest 3 is Meta’s top-tier headset and features the best lenses of any VR headset and the highest-resolution display in MetaQuest history.

There’s never been a time when buying a VR console like the MetaQuest 3 or Quest 3S has been so rewarding, as I wrote yesterday in my weekly column focused on VR. The MetaQuest 3 is the best of the best VR headsets, featuring the best VR console hardware without the need for anything extra. Think of it as a Nintendo Switch for your face, offering stunning and vibrant worlds and new types of games you’ve never played before.
Batman Arkham Asylum is being given away free with the headset and is the first major Arkham release in a decade. What’s more, it’s the best Arkham game in 15 years and features a compelling new story with stunning Metroidvania-style level design.
If that’s not enough, a three-month trial subscription to MetaQuest Plus will give you 22 more games for free, with 2 additional games added to your library each month. Best of all, it’s only $7.99 per month after the trial, so the new games will keep coming.
Again, you better grab this deal before it ends because Best Buy’s doorbuster deals don’t last long!
