Meta's newest entry-level virtual reality headset officially launched on October 15. And for a limited time in the US, you can get the new Meta Quest 3S bundled with Batman: Arkham Shadow. This Quest 3-exclusive (and now Quest 3S) action game pits the Caped Crusader against the Rat King. This bundle is available for both storage configurations (128GB and 256GB) until April 30, 2025, at US$300 (around CA$413) and US$400 (~CA$550), respectively.
The Meta Quest 3S is powered by the same Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2 chipset as the Quest 3 and features the same 8GB of RAM. It also comes with a pair of Touch Pro controllers to navigate menus with gestures. The Quest 3S supposedly offers better battery life with an average playtime of two-and-a-half hours. (Its predecessor tops out at two hours).
