If you’ve yet to join the VR craze of the last few years, then now’s a good time to do so. The 128GB Meta Quest 2 is currently available at Walmart for $199, down from $249 — a return to its record-low price. Not only is the sale enticing, but the deal comes with a $50 credit for the Meta Quest store. Amazon is offering the same 20 percent discount on the Meta Quest 2, but it doesn’t include that extra credit.
The Meta Quest 2 might not be the newest headset in its lineup, but it still has plenty of great features — and is our pick for 2024’s best cheap VR headset. Plus, we gave it an 89 in our review back in 2020, when it was still called the Oculus Quest.
The device is wireless, comfortable and much more affordable than the alternatives. Its field of vision is about 90 degrees and can change based on which face pads you use. The Meta Quest 2 also offers fast-switching LCDs, an 1832×1920 resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. You can hook it up to your gaming PC or explore the many titles available on Meta’s Quest store — especially with $50 to spend.
