Goal Value Drop Brings Oculus Quest 2 to $250 – Street to VR
Oculus Quest 2 was launched back in October 2020 and effectively sets the bar for standalone VR headsets by delivering a high quality experience at a relatively low price. Now you can snag a Quest 2 for $ 50 on Target for a limited time.
The 64GB variant of Quest 2 typically costs $ 300 and is now available on Target for $ 250, which includes free two-day shipping. Only the 64 GB variant is currently on offer, as the 256 GB variant with larger capacity is still marked at the introductory price of 400 US dollars.
Without a doubt, it’s one of the best VR deals out there right now. Inside the box you will find the Quest 2 headset, two touch controllers, some AA batteries, a headset charging cable, and a power adapter – that’s all you need to play games like Beat Saber, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners , SUPERHOT VR, and all the top games in the Oculus Store.
Quest 2 can do more than just play games from the Oculus Store. With a nice and long USB-C cable (via Oculus Link) you can connect a VR-enabled computer to play VR games from Steam like Half-Life: Alyx (2020), arguably the best single player VR game out there for date. If you have the right WiFi setup, you can also play wirelessly via Air Link. Check that your computer is suitable for both methods.
Admittedly, there is a certain catch to the whole thing. In order to use Quest 2, you have to connect a valid Facebook account – this is one of the reasons why you cannot currently buy Oculus products in Germany, the largest market in Europe. Facebook has also recently started testing targeted ads in paid games, which could deal a bad blow. That said, it’s a damn $ 250 deal that you may not see until Black Friday later this year.
