Save 20% on the Meta Quest 3 VR Headset

Our tech writer Alex said, "With full-colour passthrough, higher resolution displays and pancake lenses, this is the VR headset to beat."

The Meta Quest 3 512GB, which was originally priced at £619.99, is now available for £468.28 at Amazon.co.uk. Owing to the launch of the cheaper Meta Quest 3S, Meta has repriced the existing Meta Quest 3 to make it more enticing. The 512GB model has more sophisticated lenses than the Meta Quest 3S, resulting in sharper visuals, and it's also slimmer.

Why is it Called Black Friday?

The first use of Black Friday dates back to the Fifties in Philadelphia, where the local police department coined the term to describe the traffic jams, overcrowded pavements, and mobbed stores on the day after Thanksgiving. It wasn't until the 1980s that the phrase caught on in the rest of America and became a marketing ploy to promote consumer events and encourage sales. It was then used to refer to the financial status of stores, as they went from being "in the red" to "in the black" as profits increased. Today, Black Friday is one of the biggest shopping events in the calendar, not just in the United States but also in the UK and other parts of the world. It has evolved from a one-day sale to a four-day bonanza and in some cases, spans the entire month of November.
