Since its release last fall, the Meta Quest 3 has largely held its $500 price point, but you can finally get a substantial discount on the impressive wireless headset. As part of Walmart’s big sales event running this week ahead of Amazon Prime Day, the 128GB Meta Quest 3 is discounted from $500 to $429.
Arguably the best VR headset on the market, the Meta Quest 3 combines powerful hardware with an easy-to-use interface and a terrific library of content. Games like Tetris Effect: Connected and Pistol Whip run very well on the headset, and if you’re looking to get a good sweat in, you can’t go wrong with a few rounds of Les Mills Body Combat. The other nice thing about the Quest 3 is that the controllers don’t have tracking rings around them, making them easier to grip and use for play sessions.
You might want to consider picking up a Meta Quest 3 Elite Strap as well, just for extra comfort, or if you feel like upgrading the headset, the Elite Strap with battery add-on is a very good investment for long VR sessions.
