Deal Details
Price drop from 2 days ago. Was $249.
Costco has the worst ecommerce site, so this product page is wrong price, wrong RAM, wrong SKU
You want Item #1773500

Is there a Costco code to items priced with .97 cents?
Discontinued?
Deleted?

YMMV
Good hunting.

Item number doesn't show a match upon lookup.

Prices ending in .97 is a special markdown at the store only. Not sure why your store is clearing out that item before the holiday rush.

If you post your store's location, locals might be able to replicate the deal if it's still in stock.

You can use the Costco app to check your warehouse's inventory in price.
For instance in MA in the Boston area, only Everett has it, for $249.

Worth an upgrade from the Quest 2?

I see $299 for the 128GB 3S with 12 months of Meta Horizon+.

Where is your local Costco that has the 256GB for $199?

What would you say it's worth? It's being sold at around $380 in nearby stores.

How do you check warehouse inventory price in the app?

I'm in the app, it shows $299 online price, and it says my store name and:
In Stock Buy in Warehouse
Warehouse pricing may vary

Anyone who gets these should immediately turn off automated firmware updates. All the latest Meta Quest firmwares (especially the stuff currently in the PTC) try really hard to push you to use Meta's social features more, including Meta Horizon Worlds... And the new "Immersive Home" stuff that tries to make it look like your home screen and app launcher are part of Worlds is one heck of a waste of CPU and RAM. On my Quest 2 I constantly get "Not enough memory to run this app" errors now.

This would be an absolutely fantastic device if the OS was more open to customization and especially to debloating. As is, it's a Meta marketing tool and ought to be sold as a loss leader, the same way Amazon sells their Kindle and Fire devices dirt cheap intending to make up the loss on Prime memberships.

If stores are discounting these, I'm guessing it has something to do with this - https://www.cnbc.com/2025/10/29/m...arter.html

That being said, IMHO one of the coolest things about these is that you can use them as a cheap 3D video camera [youtube.com].

Depends on how you use it. If you like stand-up Augmented Reality games, then probably. Personally I prefer sitting games (I'm a senior citizen) and frankly the original Quest had more and better games for me. But Meta dropped support and those games (though purchased) disappeared.
