Land 512GB Meta Quest 3 headset at $200 off the original price, now at $450 (Renewed Premium)

Orig. $650 $450

Meta’s new Quest 3S VR headset looks promising for its more affordable $300 starting price, but it doesn’t come with all the bells and whistles as the original Quest 3, which is now going for just $499.99 shipped instead of its $649 usual going rate for the 512GB variant. And if you don’t mind picking up an Amazon Renewed Premium unit with a 1-year guarantee, you can snag a refurbished Quest 3 512GB headset down at $449.99 shipped. That’s $50 less than what you’d pay for a new Quest 3 unit today, which is already down $150 after yesterday’s announcement. You’re essentially paying $200 less for a headset that’s still leading the pack in Meta’s lineup with 512GB storage. If you’d rather go for a 128GB model then you can snag its Amazon Renewed Premium unit for just $379.99 shipped.

The Meta Quest 3 is among the most powerful VR headsets out there in 2024, and it remains a solid option despite the arrival of new the Quest 3S. It’s powered by the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 chip and has a 4K+ Infinite Display, along with support for 3D audio. The original Quest 3 has better displays than the new Quest 3S, so keep that in mind. It’s also capable of delivering “2.2 hours of usage on average” on a single charge, with the option to extend battery life further with Battery Saver mode. Other highlights of the Quest 3 VR headset include support for navigation without controllers with Direct Touch “that follows your gestures,” a bundled 18W power adapter, and more. The Quest 3 remains a great option overall, in my opinion, and its 512GB model is definitely a lot easier to recommend at $450.
