FREE GIFT CARD: As of March 18, Best Buy's offering a free $50 e-gift card when you purchase a 512GB Meta Quest 3 VR headset.


If you've had your eye on the Meta Quest 3, now's your chance to scoop it up and score a little extra cash in the process. Right now, Best Buy's offering a $50 e-gift card when you purchase a 512GB Meta Quest 3 VR headset, which comes to $499.99.

It's not the only bonus that comes with the Meta Quest 3. Purchasing this headset also comes with the VR game Batman: Arkham Shadow and a three-month trial of Meta Quest+ to kickstart your VR journey. Best Buy also notes that your purchase comes with a one month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership.

We think very highly of the Meta Quest 3, even if its battery life doesn't last for quite as long as we'd like. We rank it as the best option overall in our roundup of the best VR headsets, saying that "the Meta Quest 3 is the best Quest VR headset to date. Pretty much every single spec (save for battery life, strangely) is bigger and better than the Quest 2, including power, resolution, comfort, and more."

Similarly, our review had a lot of positive things to note about it despite its battery life, with Mashable's Kimberly Gedeon saying, "The Meta Quest 3 is a lighter, sleeker version of its predecessor with a new color passthrough feature that lets you enjoy more mixed-reality experiences, but the battery life could be better."

Take advantage of this free $50 Best Buy e-gift card with the purchase of a 512GB Meta Quest 3 VR headset at the retailer.
