This Quest 3S bundle stands out as a low-cost way to get into Meta VR, especially for Quest exclusives, mixed reality games, and the included year of Horizon+. The price can drop to $199 in cart, and the subscription adds a steady stream of redeemable games and store discounts. Costco's return policy and price adjustment window add some comfort. The main cautions are the fresnel lenses, which are blurrier than Quest 3's pancake lenses, and the 3S's weaker fit for productivity or long media sessions. A solid entry point if gaming is the priority.

Common Questions (5)

  • Non-VR games and movies display on a large virtual flat screen, and 4K movie playback can feel like a theater experience with apps like Skybox VR. For productivity, the Quest 3S is limited by its fresnel lenses and lower resolution, so text is not as clear as on a Quest 3 or a monitor.

  • The Costco bundle itself does not include the Batman bundle, but Batman Arkham Shadow is still eligible with a new Quest 3S purchase while supplies last. The game may need to be redeemed after the order completes, and some buyers had to contact Meta support when it did not auto-add.

  • The subscription is tied to the headset and auto-activates during setup in the Meta Horizon app. It gives access to monthly games and Meta+ discounts, but claimed games stay playable only while the subscription remains active.

  • The Quest 3S uses fresnel lenses, while the Quest 3 uses pancake lenses. That means the 3S is sharpest in the center and blurrier toward the edges, while the Quest 3 stays sharper across the whole lens.

  • Costco's return policy applies, and one comment specifically says the warehouse has an unlimited return policy. That makes it a lower-risk buy if you want to test VR comfort and return it if the headset does not work for you.

Recommend cleaning the optics with Kimtech task wipers. They are cheap and are used to clean million dollar optics. You may remember them from cleaning a microscope lens in grade school.

My son keeps asking for a VR for Christmas, he is 10, keeps saying something about gorilla tag. If I bought this, would gorilla tag work or is it a separate purchase? I haven't ever looked into the VR. Could he have his own account being 10 or does it restrict a lot of stuff since he is under 13? TIA
I would say to review VR headsets for those under age 13. My kids are younger, and when I reviewed there were some things I read about eye development where these are not good for prolonged use for younger kids. That could be anecdotal things (like when we were young and TV would ruin our eyes!) but it's worth researching.

BATMAN ARKHAM SHADOW included when you buy Meta Quest 3S. Offer valid with the purchase of a new Meta Quest 3 device (128 GB), Meta Quest 3 device (512 GB), Meta Quest 3S device (128 GB) and/or Meta Quest 3S device (256 GB) ("Qualifying Product") purchased on or after September 25, 2024 through December 31, 2026 (5:00 pm PST), while supplies last. Confirmed with Meta Store Support yesterday: "I'm happy to confirm that the promotion you saw is correct. When you purchase a new Meta Quest 3 (128GB) ,even if it's not the Batman bundle. This promotion is valid for qualifying products purchased between September 25, 2024 and December 31, 2026 (5:00 pm PST), while supplies last. Once your order is completed, you'll be able to redeem the game as part of the offer."

What are people doing to claim this? I tried talking to MetaStoreHelp in the community and they are holding fast with the argument that only the Batman branded console bundle includes the game.

Why oh why can't it be a Quest 3 deal. Seriously ... I mainly want to use this for e-learning/coding and the resolution on the 3s wont cut it ... Even on the 3 it barely cuts it.
If just learning why isn't this sufficient? The processor should be the same and if developing you only have to look at it long enough to test.

Should be using https://secure.oculus.com Then support at the top of the page and then towards the bottom of the page there should be "still need help? get support" Then from there "Meta Quest Software or content" then "other software or content issue" and then you should have an email support, chat with support or chat via whatsapp.

There are a few games that are hefty at 40GB but the majority are under 10GB and you can download/delete as needed. The 12 months of Meta+ gives 24 games over the year (vs 3 months with 6 games) that are "free to keep with an active subscription" as long as you redeem them along with access to the Meta+ catalog and discounts.The year would provide you with a lot of potential games to try before knowing if you want to purchase when your subscription ends. You could squeeze that into the 3 months but meta+ is $60/yr or $8/m.
