Formerly known as Oculus Quest 2, Meta's best-selling VR headset went on sale for$349 during this year's Black Friday and Cyber Monday and remains available, coming in a bundle that packages the gaming console with its most popular game, Beat Saber, and Resident Evil 4. If you've been on the fence about virtual reality but keep wondering what all the fuss is about after seeing countless TV ads, then now is the perfect time to take the leap of faith and into the metaverse.

Let me start by pointing out the obvious: the Meta Quest 2 got a price bump of$100 back in August, bringing the once$299 headsetup to$399 . For what it was worth, Meta also upped the base storage from 64GB to 128GB.
As VR enters a critical adoption phase, these headsets offer a fully immersive experience.

That's a grand discount total of$120, and what I'd argue to be the VR deal to beat this holiday season.

To sweeten the pot, if you've held off on buying the Meta Quest 2 in fear of linking it to your Facebook account, that process is no longer a requirement. Instead, you can create a separate Meta login for all your social and transactional purposes.
