What's Happening?
The Meta Quest 3S virtual reality headset is available at a discounted price as part of Amazon's Black Friday sales in Australia. The 128GB model is reduced from AU$488 to AU$418, while the 256GB model is now AU$449, down from AU$509.99. Meta is also
offering discounts directly, although slightly higher than Amazon's prices. The Quest 3S, considered the best budget VR headset, offers standalone play and compatibility with PC via Steam Link. The sale is part of a broader trend of early Black Friday discounts, providing consumers with access to advanced VR technology at reduced prices.
Why It's Important?
The discount on the Meta Quest 3S highlights the competitive nature of the VR market and the importance of Black Friday sales in driving consumer interest. For consumers, the reduced price makes advanced VR technology more accessible, potentially increasing adoption rates. For Meta, the sale is an opportunity to strengthen its position in the VR market by attracting new users and boosting sales. The move may influence other tech companies to offer similar discounts, impacting the overall dynamics of the VR industry and consumer purchasing behavior during the holiday season.
