THE FUSE

Virtual reality stopped being a futuristic fantasy the moment Meta cracked the code on affordable and high-quality headsets that actually work without a gaming PC tethered to your head. The Quest 3S brings premium VR experiences at a fraction of what you’d expect to pay, and Amazon just dropped both storage configurations to record-low prices for early Black Friday: The 128GB model (including a Gorilla Tag bundle) now costs $249 instead of $299; and the 256GB version (including Batman: Arkham Shadow) sits at $329 down from $399.
