Tariffs be damned, the Meta Quest 3S has never been cheaper

There may be talks about the trade war on the horizon, and all the tariff plays at this time can cause rumors of global recession in the air. Because of all this, things are not getting cheap. We have already heard the news about some technology being more expensive, and there are not many discounted pieces of gaming tech as everyone collectively tightens their belts. But despite all this, one of the most favorable bits of gaming hardware is watching a miraculous 10 % exemption.

The Meta Quest 3s is already one at the full price, if not, the best budget VR headset has ever been made, but its $ 299.99 tag has deducted in Amazon, which has left 128 GB model. 9 269. This is the case with 256GB SKU that is seeing the same $ 30. Which brings it Up to 9 369 (9 399.99) down in Amazon. Since its inception in October last year, the Quest 3s has never reduced the price by this degree. During Christmas holidays, it had some small discounts, but it has not been cheaper than that time.

I had messed up the price of the Quest 3S before I wandered on Friday evening, but it was just watching the discount in the UK. Given all parts of the world, I did not expect the price reduction to go up to the Atlantic, but we are here, talking about the fact that you can now get a great VR headset for cheap. It is safe to say that we are currently in a very unexpected place economically, so don’t expect that the discount will continue for longer.

It is difficult to find a reason not to recommend Meta Quest 3s with all honesty. This one headset is so strong that it in fact raises the question of who should spend extra cash on a full -fat fat Quest 3. For most consumers, this is all the VR headset that they will need to enjoy a few pieces of deep gaming and local computing. If you are not making VR as your primary gaming platform, Quest 3S gets you almost all the same fossils and features much cheaper.

It has two warnings. O.L, if you ask me, the biggest win of 3s is the pancake lens. It is amazing how much it makes up, and if you can afford to put extra cash for them, I will argue that they are worth it. Once again, this will really be true only if you play a lot of VR games, whether it’s a standstone or by the LinkedIn Gaming PC. If you usually play with the power of the headset, both Quest 3 and 3s use the Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 General 2 processor, so you will not feel the big difference in kicking your eyes in terms of power.

Speaking of this processor, I will use it here and now as an excuse to justify this purchase. Qualcomm’s outsourcing manufacturing occurs somewhere in Taiwan, Asia and other areas, so I would expect it to be a rare exemption for 2025, if the US interruptions continue for a year.

The second warning is that if you already own PS5, I will instead spend money on PSVR 2. In fact, you are not going to get the same stand experience of local computing capabilities, but if you are just intended to use VR headset for gaming, it is on PS5 or PC, Sony’s headset will give you a better time.
