Saw this thread and figured id chime in. If you are hunting for deals next year, definitely be cautious about those random third-party sellers on marketplace sites. Some of those holiday deals are just scams or units with no warranty support at all. Im always happy to pay a tiny bit more at a real store just to know the return policy is solid and everything is legit. Funny enough, i actually spent my whole Saturday finally getting my backyard patio lights hung up properly. It was a bit of a project but it looks amazing now and the whole family is super satisfied with the vibe. Everything works well and its just nice to have a cozy spot to sit and relax... anyway. TL;DR: Avoid unknown resellers to stay safe. Stick to big retailers so you dont lose your money.

Forget the Quest 3S in the car! Seriously, be careful using VR while driving. I tried it (stationary, thankfully!) and it's way too distracting. I'd suggest focusing on driving safety instead.

Instead, consider Pico 4. Better pancake lenses; resolution is 2160x2160 per eye.

Honestly? Maybe consider a used Quest 2. Plenty around, prices drop *way* more.

Skip Quest 3S Black Friday! DIY headstrap mods boost immersion better; costs ~$50!

Black Friday in Phoenix can be tricky for electronics. Heat's a killer! I'd expect maybe $50 off... but honestly, check local pawn shops first. You might find a better deal on a used Quest.

Forget the Quest 3S while driving, seriously! Save the $50 (speculated drop) and invest in a decent dashcam for BlackVue DR970X-2CH. Safety first, always.

Black Friday VR deals are tricky. Meta's pricing depends on how well competitors like Pico are doing. I'd suggest watching their market share closely next year; a strong competitor might force a $50 price cut. Be careful of grey market units – warranties can be a nightmare. Make sure to buy from authorized retailers.

Black Fridays are wild! My Quest 2 is still amazing after 3 years. Don't expect much more than $50 off, honestly. Good luck!

Forget VR! For realistic feedback, invest that $400 in better sim racing pedals. Immersion's unfortunately not there yet; proper force feedback is.
