We posted a couple of times about Meta\u2019s Quest 3S during the holidays. The virtual reality headset that typically sold for $299.99 was \u2014 and still is \u2014 available for $249.99. Better yet, you can get in on a promotion at Amazon<\/a> that includes a $50 digital account credit with purchase. You can find a similar sale price of $249.99 at other retailers, but it seems like Amazon is the only one that includes a gift card.<\/p>\n

The Quest 3S is a wonderful device for first-time virtual reality explorers. It builds on what made the Quest 2 so good (comfortable, easy to use, surprisingly capable) and adds more power. In fact, it has the same chipset as the pricier Quest 3, but with similar optic materials and screens as the Quest 2 it\u2019s meant to replace. The Meta Quest store is filled with fun games and apps, and PC gamers can link the headset (wired or wirelessly) to their machines to play Steam VR games, such as the immersive VR showpiece Half-Life: Alyx.

Apple AirTags are the kind of gadget that you know right away if you\u2019d benefit from using them, or if someone you live with would. These Bluetooth trackers are great for keeping tabs on suitcases, keys, handbags, wallets, or any other kind of everyday necessity that has a small place to slip in Apple\u2019s Mentos-sized tracker. The best deal running on a four-pack of AirTags is still going strong, in case you realized after the holidays that you wanted some. Normally $99 for four (already a $20 savings versus the price of buying four individually), you can get a set for $64.98 at Amazon<\/a> and Walmart<\/a>. This knocks the price per AirTag down to $16.25.<\/p>\n

Steam\u2019s big winter sale<\/a> on PC games is ending Monday, January 5th, at 1pm ET \/ 10am PT. It\u2019s the last huge, catalog-spanning sale event until mid-March when its spring sale kicks off. There will be sales between now and then, but there\u2019s no better time than now to stock up on games. There are too many discounts to list, but fans of any genre will likely find several titles worth buying \u2014 if they don\u2019t already have them. Just looking at my wishlist on Steam, Silent Hill F<\/a> at $41.99 (was $69.99) is pretty attractive, but I might first jump at some indie game deals, like 25 percent off The Seance of Blake Manor.<\/p>\n
