Metas layoffs to kick off the year felt like a major downer for the industry at large especially as it has been the champion of this space for years now and it certainly seems that smart glasses like the Meta Ray-Bans but also
Snap Specs, Android XR glasses, and more that have debuted this year are stealing the XR spotlight.

But VR is far from dead. Sure it might not be seeing the growth it once saw but sa a gaming and entertainment machine that tech is only getting better each day.

Plus with some Meta Quest 3S deals at Amazon Prime Day you can save big on
the best affordable VR hardware out there.

Browse the full Amazon Prime Day sale Save 15% ($53.20) Meta Quest 3S: was $349.99 now $296.79 at Amazon The Meta Quest 3S is an incredible, cheap VR headset, but let's just ignore the fact that this deal just undoes the recent price hikes caused by the RAM crisis. View Deal Save 15% Meta Quest 3S: was 319.99 now 271.99 at Amazon If you want a VR headset and are on a budget you can't do better than the Meta Quest 3S. Is this Prime Day deal really a deal? Not really, but that doesn't stop the headset being incredible value for money. View Deal This headset is technically as capable as a Meta Quest 3, meaning the 3S can handle whatever software the Quest ecosystem might want to throw at it and thats a broad list.

Theres plenty of VR games to jump into including Marvels Deadpool , Batman:Arkham Shadow , Walkabout Minigolf , and Beat Saber to name just a
few. Plus there are fitness apps which when combined with a silicone facial interface turn your headset into an actually enjoyable home gym and a
growing collection of streaming services which turn your headset into a private home theatre, you can even kick back in bed and enjoy watching the screen as if it were affixed to your ceiling.

With game console price hikes making gaming pricier than ever, its worth noting your headset can double as an Xbox too again complete with a giant display. Youll just need a Game Pass subscription and Xbox controller.

In the US a bonus Quest deal will get you a free month of Xbox Game Pass , while the UK version nets you 20%-off code for an Xbox controller and one month of Game Pass Ultimate after the purchase of a 3S headset. Price up, prices down (Image credit: Meta) The slight elephant in the room we should address with these Prime Day deals is they unfortunately arent really deals
in the truest sense.

Thanks to the RAM crisis the Meta Quest 3 series headsets saw a price hike . The 128GB model Meta Quest 3S went up to $349.99 / 319.99 / AU$569, while the price of the 256GB edition rose to $449.99 / 409.99 / AU$729. The 512GB Meta Quest 3now sets you back $599.99 / 549.99 / AU$969.

These Prime Day deals generally just revert the headset to its pre-hike
price. Youll see a roughly $53 saving, but in actuality its closer to $3.

That said, as some pointed out even after the hike, the Quest 3S represents incredible value for money. So sure this discount isnt as great as it was a year ago before the base cost rose, but the Quest 3S at its original asking price is one of the best deals in tech, so definitely consider grabbing one while the discount is around.

With the RAM crisis and shipping troubles looking set to persist I wouldnt be surprised if prices rise further, and Black Friday deals might struggle to match even those we have today.
