Summary

  • Prime Day’s VR roundup highlighted Meta’s Quest 3S at under $300, positioning the standalone headset as the main entry-level deal before the June 23-26 event ends.
  • Lifehacker paired that with steeper accessory discounts, including 32% off a 16-foot Syntech Link Cable and 22% off BOBOVR’s S3 Pro battery strap with a 10,000mAh pack.
  • Higher-end buyers also got a featured option: the Pimax Crystal Super dropped 15% to $1,529.15, aimed at simulation users who need a powerful PC and 3840x3840 resolution per eye.
  • The list also pointed shoppers to discounted controller add-ons for rhythm, shooter and golf games, while noting prices and inventory can still change during the sale.
  • Outside Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy and Target are running overlapping Prime Day-style promotions through June 26 or June 28, with some rival discounts reaching 50% off.
