The most popular Meta Quest deal from Black Friday is back. The official Meta eBay Store is once again offering refurbished Meta Quest 3 512GB VR headsets for just $359.99 after a 20% off coupon code “HOLIDAYRUSH“. Better yet, it comes with an extended 2 year warranty supplied by Allstate. Since these headsets are reconditioned and shipped by Meta itself and include original accessories, so it’s not much different from buying a brand new one.

The Meta Quest 3 is the best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset. There’s a good reason why it costs $200 more (at retail) compared to the more entry level Quest 3S. Although the two share several similarities – they have the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, Touch Plus controllers with inside-out tracking, and mixed reality passthrough – the Quest 3 features far superior optics. The Quest 3 adopts a new pancake lens design that’s slimmer, has a higher resolution (30% more pixels), wider FOV display, and a bigger “sweet spot”. The Quest 3 also starts with more storage. I own it myself (and I reviewed it for IGN) and have logged over a thousand hours in Beat Saber alone.
TL;DR:
- Quest 3 has sharper resolution (2064×2208 vs 1832×1920)
- Quest 3 has better lens array (pancake vs fresnel)
- Quest 3 has wider FOV (104°/96° vs 96°/90°)
- Quest 3 has higher storage capacity (512GB vs 128GB)
- Same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor
- Same Touch Plus controllers
- Same 120Hz refresh rate
- Same Mixed reality passthrough functionality
- Same tetherless and tethered functionality
