It's a good time to buy a Meta Quest 3S virtual reality headset.
As Lifehacker's resident VR aficionado, it is my expert opinion that the Meta Quest 3S is the best VR headset on the market, pound-for-pound. Even at full price, it's way less expensive than any other "serious" virtual reality headset out there, it can handle any software the more expensive Meta Quest 3 can run, and, performance-wise, it's comparable to its bigger brother. It's also on sale for Amazon Prime Day. There are two configurations of Meta Quest 3S on offer for Prime Day, and each one is a great deal.
