The Meta Quest 3S is being treated as a budget VR headset that feels close to a Quest 2 with a Quest 3 chip, and the Amazon bundle adds a $50 credit and a Gorilla Tag bonus. The main appeal is getting into VR at a lower price, especially for first time users. The biggest drawback is the lenses, which are described as noticeably worse than Quest 3 and harder to adjust. The Amazon credit also has a shipped and sold by Amazon restriction, and promo credits can be unreliable. A solid entry point if the bundle terms work for you.
New VR players who want a standalone headset for short sessions, because it is still pretty good when you are new to VR.
Shoppers who want a lower-cost headset with a newer processor, because it is basically like a Quest 2 with Quest 3 CPU.
People deciding between buying now or waiting for a better price, because locking in the price while you decide can be useful.
Buyers who want a bundled game included, because this listing also includes a Gorilla Tag bundle.
Players who are sensitive to lens clarity, because the lenses are noticeably worse than Quest 3 and harder to adjust.
People who want long VR sessions, because VR still causes nausea and shaky frame rates make extended play uncomfortable.
Shoppers expecting the included Amazon credit to be easy to use, because it must be shipped and sold by Amazon.
Buyers who need a reliable promotional credit, because these credits can fail to arrive and require customer service follow-up.

Still significantly more than a $200 3S but I had paid $300 for our 3S. I returned it last night. If you are new to VR, the 3S is still pretty good but once you're used to the lenses in the 3, it's hard to go back.

The eye tracking increases resolution where you are looking by at least 8x and everyone says it works and you can't see the lesser rez areas. Your PC will be effectively rendering and 2 square inches as best as it can and not a whole 4k screen at a time. Significantly (8x+) reduces processing power needs. So steam will have most of whatever these guys offer; plus the only reason people obsess over the ps2 headset + plus it's owned an tested and designed by real gamers + steam will work with games they sell to make them compatible; tho the wording implies it's mostly all going to be compatible out the box.
Steams gonna steamroll this market. Facebook and crApple making gaming peripherals is like buying a Nintinduh gaming console from dollar tree. Huge reason I didn't jump on; and I sincerely thank you for asking this cause I forgot I seen the press release last week on steam an almost jumped on this.
When factoring in the cost of the headset one can eaisly factor in parts of the price of $700 gfx card or a $3000+ computer that "attempts" to run cyperpunk realistic mods. Steam is saying at least 8x the graphics power per game due to that one function previously used on a console VR headset.
The PC community still often reccomends to use the kiddy console VR headset ; with lower res, less quality screen, out of production, and possibly worse 🤒🤢🤮 the shame of telling someone you are playing with playstation products 🤣
Gabe is known to do good. I love rallying against corporations scamming people but I think Gabe is a legit old school Dungeon master and even when offered to cash in on lawsuits against steam for some b/s; I refused the free money because Gabe has not done me wrong. So other corporations who do scam people ; their management if competent will take in 3 things from this press release. Mainly Gabe is gearing up to remain at the front of; and take over the industry.
