Quest 3S is $250 for Amazon Prime Day and from Walmart, though the two retailers significantly differ in what content is listed as bundled.
Amazon has an exclusive "Gorilla Tag Cardboard Hero Bundle", which is listed as coming with two Gorilla Tag cosmetics, Handiwork Helmet and Handiwork Armor, as well as 1000 of the Shiny Rocks in-game currency. It's available on Amazon US, Amazon Canada, Amazon UK, Amazon Germany, Amazon France, all with a similar discount of roughly 15%.
However, the Amazon listings don't mention Batman: Arkham Shadow or the 3 months of the Horizon+ games subscription, which are normally included with Quest 3S. That means it might not save you any money if you end up buying Arkham Shadow or subscribing to Horizon+.
The Walmart listing, in comparison, doesn't mention Gorilla Tag, but does come with Batman: Arkham Shadow and 3 months of Horizon+.
Essentially, if you're planning on playing Arkham Shadow then the Walmart offering is the better deal, while if you just want to play Gorilla Tag you might want to choose Amazon.
Quest 3 or Quest 3S?
Wondering whether you should opt for a Quest 3 or a Quest 3S?
Quest 3S is Meta's budget headset option. It has all the same VR and mixed reality capabilities of Quest 3, and has the same chipset and RAM inside, but it uses older, lower-quality fresnel lenses that aren't fully adjustable, so may not be suitable for everyone's eyes.
Quest 3, on the other hand, uses Meta's advanced pancake lenses. They're clearer, sharper, wider, and fully horizontally adjustable, suitable for everyone's eyes. These pancake lenses also enable Quest 3 to be thinner, which makes the headset feel less heavy.
Quest 3 also has 512GB storage, whereas Quest 3S is only available in 128GB or 256GB.
If you have the funds, you should always pick Quest 3. But if you don't, Quest 3S can still run all the same content.
