As the Black Friday weekend moves into Cyber Monday we’re spotting a great Meta Quest 3 deal at Newegg.
As part of the Cyber Monday deals, you can get a free $15 gift card at Newegg with a Meta Quest 3 (128GB)and a $25 gift card with the Meta Quest 3 (512GB)and get a copy of upcoming game Asgard’s Wrath 2 free when it launches.
We only recently reviewed the Meta Quest 3 but it is leaps and bounds beyond its predecessor, the Meta Quest 2 in very real, tangible ways; the resolution is dramatically sharper, there’s more storage at launch than the Quest 2 had when it arrived, and the internal Snapdragon processor is faster. This makes it one of the best VR headsets.
Newegg is offering the Meta Quest 3 (128GB) at its $499.99 MSRPbut it’s also got a couple of free gifts available for those ready to take the plunge.
Aside from a free copy of Asgard’s Wrath 2, a game expected to be Quest 3’s “killer app” when it launches next month, you’ll also get a $15 Meta Quest gift card sent via email, too, which you can use in the on-device store to pick up additional games and apps.
Better yet, that voucher jumps to $25 if you pick up the $649.99 512GB versionand you’ll also get 2 free games a month through a free six-month subscription to Meta Quest+.
The Meta Quest 3 comes with everything you need to get going out of the box, including the headset itself and a pair of Meta’s latest controllers.
Its secret superpower, however, is that you can plug it into a powerful PC and turn it into a PCVR headset, opening up the likes of critically acclaimed Half-Life: Alyx to play.
It’s also backward compatible, so your existing Meta Quest 2 games can all be found ready to go on the new headset, too.

Buy if: You want to experience VR without a console or PC, or you’re looking for the best way to play Beat Saber.
Don’t buy if: You want the most impressive VR headset – the Valve Index and HTC Vive Pro remain some of the best in their field, albeit at a much higher price point.
Alternative models: If you already own a PlayStation 5, PlayStation VR 2 is worth a look, offering impressive exclusives like Horizon: Call of the Mountain. The Meta Quest Pro is also an option, but it’s significantly pricier and aimed at VR professionals.
