Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale seems to include a few more interesting titles than the Falls Fright sale.
Some top selling ones include Creed: Rise to Glory, Job Simulator, Among Us VR, Bonelab, Shave & Stuff, Golf+, Eleven Table Tennis, Contractors, Arizona Sunshine 2, Walkabout Mini Golf.
Buy a new Meta Quest headset from any retailer and both referee and referrer will get A$47 in Meta Quest Store credit once the headset is activated.
Get someone that does to gift you the purchase and you'll get a code?
I can get these at the discounted rate.
I get all the games for free (wink wink)
what a rookie
Meta are definitely pushing me in that direction that’s for sure!
You can do this somehow natively on the headset? Or PCVR games?
Headset, some pcvr games
You definitely need a pc to sideload the games on it .. a whole new world
@Sr1993e: … and ppl shouldn't bother spending time believing old claims you can use phone app. It doesn't work any more with an app (unless things have changed recently. or do in future but before ppl read this note).
Certainly can be a long, disappointing process finding that out though. I ended up having to use a pc after all to add feetsaber mod
Have you tried creating a fresh new account? I've read sometimes that works to make the sales appear. Then just gift the games to your original account.
I've got a second account but i shouldn't have to do that. Plus i'm probably violating facebooks terms by creating a second account. Support chat also said i should do that. But i have a bunch of credit on my original account that i'd rather use too.
As someone who competes in real life Table Tennis, would thoroughly recommend Eleven TT.
Can do drills with a robot ball machine, play organically with AI robot, or with real people.
Physics were exceptional 2 years ago, and only being refined.
I am going to be reducing my IRL play to 2-3x a week and try to play VR 3-4x a week purely for the 20-60 minutes of no travel, no setup quick exercise and the fact it'll do wonders for my skills technically and mentally.
All you need is the game, and if you want to upgrade your experience, either 3D print or buy an adaptor so it feels like a true simulation ($20 to $50).
A proper top end robot alone (think tennis ball machine) IRL requires a dedicated garage, $1000 table and $3500 robot to do it properly.
Any recommendations for an adaptor?
My Q2 one was 3D printed, but for Q3 I got a Solidslime one.
Australian distributor I believe ships for free.
SS definitely have refined a lot, they release updated versions regularly, as do the game devs [patching] - both I highly recommend.
I tried the game trial and the only multiplayer games that I got were people in Asia, which introduced massive latency. Has this been an issue for you as well?
If you filter by latency, you would find Aussies.
There's also discords, including a very active aussie discord.
Thanks! Do you know the name of the discord?
Such a shame bonelabs got pretty much abandoned. Haven’t seen updates in months. The adventure story wasn’t for me as some of the puzzles I had issues with bits not triggering. But the arcade shooting gallery was great
Yeah, from what I can tell the prices can vary and some people might not be able to access the sale. Roughly 10 percent of users will not be able to use this code.

From November 25, 2024, to December 3, 2024, Meta will offer a promo for 40% off single apps on the Meta Quest Store. Details:
Promo code can only be used on a single app. Not valid for in-app purchases, bundles, or Horizon Worlds in-world purchases.
Promo code can only be used on the Meta Quest Store. Not valid on the Link PC VR store.
Promo code can be used more than once.
A/B Testing will be used on this promo. Only 90% of users will be given the promo code (BFCM24). The other 10%, selected at random, will not.
Promo code (BFCM24) will not work for those in the 10% holdout group.
A/B Test The link to the sale page on the Apps and games tile for Meta.com will have a different experience if the user is part of the 10% holdout group that is not getting the promo code. If logged out: The user will see the sale page and promotion with a prompt that says, “log in to see discounts.” This is the same for both groups. If logged in: Only users who are part of the 90% promo group will be able to see the discounts and apply the promo code (BFCM24) to obtain the 40% discount. Users in the 10% holdout group will instead see the error.
What's actually the point of this, does anyone know? They refer to it as a holdout group, is it literally just to "hold out" and get some people to pay full price? Seems like a weird psychology experiment lol.
Being meta they're probably analysing purchase data, including prior promotions, and determining that for some customers Meta are financially better off not giving them promotions.
Horrible though, plus it won't work when those customers find out and stop using the service completely.
Typical meta lies, its not random if it affects the same users 100% of time. I assume it is those that have received a level of referal credit and are not profitable users, but nobody is going to buy full priced games when everyone else can get them on sale, theyre losing money by doing this.
I think that's the case. Referral credit expires too after about a year, so it's likely the 'influencers' who might have racked up lots of temporary referral credits and have yet to spend all of it. Meta wants them to spend their own money on the games and not just the free credit they earned from referring people.
Interesting read. But the random thing is absolute rubbish. Once you’re on that list you never see sales. I’m guessing they’ve written that up to keep themselves out of trouble. Almost a year since I’ve seen one single sale. Nothing random about that.
Not working for me, seems to be targeted
Where is the page to share Quest game reveals? I can never find it .. no wonder it’s under utilised.
if you mean game referrals, the page got deleted, because Meta changed the way game referrals work. there's a discussion of it in the megathread somewhere https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/139622
headset referrals survive for now, on the meta store page https://www.ozbargain.com.au/deals/meta.com
Oh they did? Just bought a game and it gave me a link to share. I noticed it was $3 not the previous $7
you and the person you are referring now have to 'follow' each other in Meta to get credit for game referrals.
the discount is also now only 15%. so many will just wait for sale prices, they are often better and less hassle.
Bought Warplanes over the pacific, $16 is so cheap !
Reminder: Canada is often cheaper than Oz (if you could be bothered using VPN). Code works there as well Example only: Eleven Table tennis ($46.99) after discount = AU$28.19 and via Canada = CA$20.99 (AU $23.02). Warplanes was about the same i.e. $16.39 so depends on game.
Try Japan too
![[Quest] 40% off Select Apps (45% for MetaQuest+ Subscribers) @ Meta Horizon](https://files.ozbargain.com.au/n/89/880489.jpg?h=b34fc271)
Disclaimer. These sales aren’t for everyone. There’s a group of people that never see any sales. Unfortunately I’m one of them. So if you’re considering buying a quest 3 it’s definitely something to consider.
