Meta is selling certified refurbished Quest 3S headsets for $255.99 through its eBay storefront using the code SAVE20TECH, valid through November 8th. The units come inspected and cleaned, include original or new accessories, and carry a two-year Allstate warranty, undercutting the headset's $349.99 retail price and its recent $300 new-condition Prime Day price.
Meta announced that version 213 will be the final operating system update for its Quest 2 and Quest Pro VR headsets, arriving by March 2027. After that, the company will only provide security patches and critical bug fixes through the end of 2027, and developers can still submit compatible apps until December 2027. Meta now describes Quest 3 and Quest 3S as the baseline devices for its VR platform.
The Meta Quest 3S with 128GB storage is available at a reduced price of $297.49 through the end of Amazon’s October Prime Day sale, down from $349.99. The headset features the same chipset as the Quest 3 but has slightly lower display quality, making it a cost-effective option for casual VR users. Buyers also receive three months of Horizon Plus for access to a broad selection of games.
Meta let Engadget test a prototype pair of VR Reality Glasses that weigh under 100 grams and connect via a wired tether to a separate 300-gram compute puck. The device uses four cameras for hand tracking and passthrough video, plus pancake lenses with built-in eye tracking, and offers optional prescription lens inserts.
