If you want a VR headset, Amazon’s Black Friday 2023 deal on the Meta Quest 2 is certainly worth checking out. Over at Amazon, you can snag the 128GB Meta Quest 2 for $249 or the 256GB Meta Quest 2 for $299. You’ll also get a free $50 Amazon gift card with your purchase. That’s a pretty phenomenal deal that essentially drops the price of the Meta Quest 2 to as low as $199.
Other major retailers, including Target and GameStop, have the discount plus $50 gift card promotion, too. Meanwhile, Best Buy’s offer comes with the Quest 2 Elite Strap instead of a gift card. The Elite Strap retails for $60 and makes for a comfier experience when wearing the headset for lengthier stretches of time. While the Quest 2 was recently succeeded by the Meta Quest 3, the Quest 2 is still a great device with impressive performance and a rich library of games and apps.

On a technical level, these headsets pack a powerful VR punch. Each LCD lens offers a resolution of 1,832 x 1,920 per eye with a 90Hz refresh rate. 3D positional audio, hand tracking, and haptic feedback help make the experience highly immersive. The big draw here is that the Quest 2 headset is a standalone wireless device, so you won’t have to worry about tripping over a cable when you get into an especially intense game of Beat Saber.
This means that you can take your VR experience anywhere you want, but if you’re looking to stay at home, there is a handy Guardian Boundary feature that allows you to define a safe space for your VR activities. While the Quest 3 and PlayStation VR2 are more advanced VR headsets, they cost twice the price.
“Playing a VR game without worrying about a cable or external sensors is liberating in a way that makes it significantly easier to lose yourself in an experience for hours–or at least until the battery dies,” Mat Paget wrote in GameSpot’s Quest 2 review. “Of course, there’s also the option to connect the Quest to a PC and enjoy virtual worlds that demand a wired headset. There’s no doubt that the Quest is one of the most exciting gadgets of the past few years, and now it has a successor that improves on it in almost every way.”
