Deal Details
A deal on the new Meta Quest 3S before it even launches! Not sure if it's targeted or not, so YMMV, but the deal shows up in my Target accounts, and I was able to purchase with the 20% discount.

Target is currently running a "20% off Tech, Toys, Sports, & Entertainment" deal that applies to all new Meta Quest 3S VR headset preorders. Currently both the 128gb and 256gb headsets come with the new Batman: Arkham Shadow VR game and a 3 month subscription to Quest + as well.

Target Circle membership (free) is required to see the deal, and this particular deal is limited to one use. (One purchase, per Target circle account, not one item.). It expires October 5th. If logged in to your Target Circle account, it'll show up on the item page, and also under Target Circle deals. (If you haven't already used it! If so... time for a new account.)

Enjoy! After having a Quest 2 for a while, the mixed reality with the Quest 3 and 3S is really impressive.

Quote from FAUKoo :
Are these actually fun to use? I've never tried. Or will you get bored after a month?
They're pretty mind-blowing, even if you're not into gaming. Some examples, as I'm not into violent games:

You can wander around almost any city in the world within Google Earth and Streetview with apps like Wander or Earthquest.

Richie's Plank Experience will hilariously test anyone's fear of heights and confidence in reality.

Synth Riders or Beat Saber are curiously fun and addictive rhythm games that inch toward workouts.

Walkabout Mini Golf is incredible. Ditto some of other sports-ish options, like tennis, golf, fishing, etc.

Simulators for flying, sailing, etc. You can even go in submarines without imploding!

Also augmented reality for 3D design; take stuff from Tinkercad and work with it in your hands.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg - without getting into gaming. If you haven't tried it out, it's worth a shot.

I got 10% but I'm surprised the Quest 3S or other hardware lets you use it on this. Target did this last year too and I don't think it was supposed to apply to some items.

Looks like most people have 10% off or nothing. I've got a 10% discount. I have to admit, I would have grabbed it with 20%, but not 10%.

Like most here, I only saw the 10% in my account. I chatted w/ Target help on the app, and they were able to add an additional 10%. While still chatting w them, I first placed the order using my redcard for a total of 15% off, then gave them my order # and they applied a 10% refund to the order. Total cost was $251.36.

Decent deal for a preorder.. surprised that it lets you use it on the 3S. I was going to hold off til Black Friday but I'll probably bite since I have a red card with extended return should a better deal comes along.

PS: the "3s" naming is a little misleading if you subconsciously follow the naming convention of other products.
Just tell yourself it's "2s" since it is basically 2's optics/display with 3's processors/cam.
Well Xbox series s is the worse version of an Xbox, so it's an industry standard. In addition, I own both quest 2 and quest 3, and most of the time the quest 3 doesn't use its full resolution in games. So this is very worth the upgrade from quest 2 I would say, just due to exclusive games alone.

We are not talking about comparing S and X here, we are talking about adding a "s" to a number like Xbox 1 vs Xbox 1s, so no, that is not an industry standard.

Uh, yeah you do.

You may have to get a developer account or jump through some adb hoops, but it's been an option for every headset.
You're just gonna have storage and an adapter hanging on your head too? and you can't use an external battery. cool solution I guess.

Well it's the same exact price difference, $300 vs $500 for the msrp. Either way who cares, if you do 1 minute of research you're gonna find the differences between the headsets. Plus just be glad they're not going the high end route and selling the headset for $3500 like Apple.

For Quest products, since most of the cost is R&D rather than BoM, MSRP is not necessarily an indicator of the better feature for a given user: i.e.: Quest Pro vs Quest 3, I only mentioned the naming issue in the original reply because my friend was about to buy 3s thinking it was "better"(false) and cheaper, only to realized 3 is the better one.

The quest 3 has special pancake lens design making it smaller and less distortion than the frensel lens. As many have mentioned it also has an improved screen. Of course if you can this price it's fantastic.

is it worth waiting for a lower price if you dont absolutely "need" it right now and are willing to wait?

You do realize it uses the Quest 2 optics right?
I think they added the tilted screen tech to reduce screen door effect. I thought that was a very clever technology. So visually, it should look better than the Quest 2. The difference in actual screen resolution between 2 and 3 are not that big.
