Update: The Meta Quest 2 is now down to just $199 at Amazon.
Amazon is now offering the Meta Quest 2 with Active Pack at $218.57 shipped. This is down from its usual $310 price tag and marks a new all-time low on this bundle. We last saw the headset on its own for $250 over the holidays with a $50 credit attached. This offer isn’t quite the same value, but you’ll have to spend less to bring home the VR experience and some extra gear. Back when we first reviewed the headset, we noted that it was a “huge leap in the right direction for VR.” That leap forward still stands today, as this is one of the best values around for virtual reality.
Whether you know it by the Oculus or Meta naming scheme, the Quest 2 delivers an untethered virtual reality experience that doesn’t need an external PC or sensors to experience all of the immersion that VR has to offer. You’re also getting a pair of controllers that take the interactivity to a new level for diving into games like Among Us VR and more. Meta is also removing the need to log in with FaceBook, as well.
The Meta Quest 2 is already far more affordable than its newer Quest 3 counterpart at the full MSRP – let alone a sale price. But if you do want to upgrade to the higher-end experience, the $499 price tag carried by the Quest 3 does improve the experience with higher-resolution displays, a Gen 2 Snapdragon XR2 processor, and an extra 2GB of RAM. If you’re looking for something far more capable, then the latest from Meta is the way to go. But if you just want a more affordable taste of virtual reality, then the discounted Quest 2 is hard to argue with.
