You can currently save $70 on the Meta Quest 2 this Black Friday at Walmart along with two games to get you started.
If you still haven't managed to enter the world of VR, then Black Friday is the perfect time to make that leap as you can currently pick yourself up the Meta Quest 2 at a discount. The headset is bundled with Resident Evil 4 and Beat Saber – which has been a fan favourite since its release.
The Meta Quest 2 got a price bump earlier this year, going from $399.99 to $499.99 for the 256GB edition. This means you're not only getting $70 off of the current retail price of the headset but you're also getting the two bundled games for free. It's worth noting that this is the closest we've seen the Meta Quest 2 drop down to its original pricing since the increase. So given all that context, this is the lowest-ever Meta Quest 2 price since the change.
The selling point of the Meta Quest 2 is that you don't need any additional hardware in order to play it, so there are no other hidden costs. This price gets you straight to the VR action without the need for a separate console or PC. Even if these games aren't up your alley, I'd would recommend that you still consider picking up this deal as it's the cheapest price on the headset at the moment. They're basically freebies!
I've had the Meta Quest 2 for two years now –back when it went by the Oculus Quest 2 moniker – and my experience with it has been fantastic. I've had hands-on time with both the HTC Vive Pro as well as the PS VR, and for me, the Quest 2 is easily the bets of the bunch. It's entirely wireless which I think is essential for a truly immersive experience. As an added bonus, it also makes it easy to play in smaller spacers as you don't need any external kit, or have to worry about getting tangled up in wires or accidentally unplugging yourself with the inevitable flailing around.
This bundle is made even more attractive with the addition of Beat Saber, which is all-time favourite VR game. It's one of those games that you can play solo, and still have just as much fun as if you're playing with friends. It's quite the workout as well – in the best way possible. Beat Saber sessions are a great way to stay active without the monotony of going for a run or heading to the gym.
Some other notable games you might want to think about picking up are SuperHot VR, Arizona Sunshine, and Rec Room. All three are super fun, and I'd recommend them as a good place to start if you do treat yourself to the Meta Quest 2.
