If Santa didn’t deliver the VR escape you hoped for, the after-Christmas sales offer a second chance with the Oculus Quest 2 bundled $50 off. This savings drop the 128GB standalone headset model down to just $249 in the US or £249 in the UK for PC-free immersion. I’d argue stretching your budget a bit further for the Quest 3 is absolutely worth it though if possible.
Yes, the Quest 2 already provides convincing virtual worlds and intuitive controls at a solid price point, especially on discount. For VR newbies or budget-focused shoppers, it brings quality immersion frugally.
But the Quest 3’s graphics, mixed reality capabilities and long-term comfort show key areas of obsession by Meta. Everything about the experience feels meaningfully elevated. Plus snagging the bundled copy of Asgard’s Wrath 2 means getting one of VR’s flag bearer titles included.
Obviously not everyone can manage the Quest 3’s higher price tag upfront. For those folks, the Quest 2 bundles extend access to VR’s exponential magic affordably.
Yet with each generation packing such ambitious enhancements, I’d encourage stretching savings to jump right to Meta’s latest if remotely possible. What awaits already surpasses most expectations. Once you jack into those worlds and freedom, going back feels unthinkable. In a rare tech case, thelatest shiniest toy remains the wisest investment to prolong your enjoyment if means allow.
