Save $50 On A Meta Quest 2 And Get $50 In Bonus Store Credit

Save $50 and get $50 gift card

For a limited time, multiple online retailers are offering an incredible Meta Quest 2 VR headset deal that slashes the price by $50 and includes a $50 gift card. The deal is available at Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop, and both the 128GB and 256GB models are eligible. The offer drops the price of the 128GB Meta Quest 2 to $249 and the 256GB Meta Quest 2 to $299--but considering that you get the $50 gift card, you're essentially saving $100 overall.

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, and this deal is perfect for anyone looking to buy a new VR headset before the end of the year. We're not sure how long the deal will be available, so make sure you take advantage of it before it sells out.

On a technical level, these headsets pack a powerful VR punch.

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."
