Meta Quest 2 VR headset is almost back at its cheapest ever price
A woman dives into action with the Meta Quest 2.

Meta has become a pioneer in the new wave of virtual reality. Its Quest lineup of VR headsets are incredibly popular, and the Meta Quest 2 128GB model is currently one of the best VR deals we can find. It’s at one of its lowest prices ever, in fact, with Woot! dropping its price to just $229. This is a savings of $20 from its current regular price of $249, and it gets it much closer to the $200 price point we saw it discounted to around the holidays.

Why you should buy the Meta Quest 2
Over the years the Meta Quest 2 has seen several different price points, with this deal on the 128GB being one of the best prices we’ve seen. It’s significantly less expensive than the $400 256GB model, and it’s much less expensive than the Meta Quest 2’s original price of $300, which included only 64GB of storage space. And while the Meta Quest 3 is now also on the market, it starts at $500 and the Meta Quest 2 still holds up really well technologically when it comes to creating an immersive virtual environment.
