Refurbished Meta Quest 3 Now Available for $359.99 with Extended Warranty
The official Meta Store on eBay is offering a significant discount on the Meta Quest 3 512GB VR headset today, listing it for $359.99 after applying a 20% off coupon code, “TECH4THEM.”
The deal includes a two-year warranty provided by Allstate, adding extra peace of mind for buyers. The Meta Quest 3 typically retails for $500 when new and is rarely subject to discounts of this magnitude. The headset features a higher resolution display and wider field of view compared to the Quest 3S, utilizing a pancake lens design and offering substantially more onboard storage.
Both the Quest 3 and 3S share the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, Touch Plus controllers with inside-out tracking, and mixed reality passthrough capabilities. This price point makes advanced virtual reality technology more accessible to a wider audience, potentially accelerating adoption of the metaverse and related applications. For a detailed comparison of VR headsets, resources like RTINGS.com offer comprehensive reviews.
This offer mirrors a previous, quickly sold-out promotion during Amazon’s October Prime Day, suggesting limited availability. Interested buyers are encouraged to act quickly to secure the discounted headset. More tech deals can be found here. Meta representatives have not yet commented on whether this is a precursor to broader Black Friday sales.
Perhaps the best Meta Quest deal we are going to see during Black Friday has already gone live. Starting today, the official Meta Store on eBay is offering the refurbished Meta Quest 3 512GB VR headset for just $359.99 after a 20% off coupon code “TECH4THEM“. Better yet, it comes with an extended 2 year warranty supplied by Allstate. The Quest 3 normally retails for $500 new and is rarely discounted. I saw this deal once before during Amazon’s October Prime Day and it was so popular that it sold out within a day. This is easily the best deal I’ve ever seen on the Meta Quest 3 and you should absolutely buy it now over waiting for another deal during Black Friday.

The Meta Quest 3 is the best standalone consumer-oriented VR headset and is a significant upgrade compared to its less expensive Quest 3S sibling. The two share the same Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 processor, Touch Plus controllers with inside-out tracking, and mixed reality passthrough. However, the Quest 3 has a higher resolution, higher FOV display with a much wider focused sweet spot thanks to its superior pancake lens design. The Quest 3 also has much more onboard storage. For VR veterans who are sure to benefit from a better display, I would highly recommend the Quest 3 over the 3S. 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 lower 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
