The Oculus Quest 2 stays at the top of our list of the best VR headsets for good reason and is finally on sale. This isn’t a huge Black Friday deal discount, but we’re going to take it.
Currently, the Oculus Quest 2 128 GB is available from Woot for $ 289. This standalone headset makes VR much more accessible, especially when compared to other hardcore headsets that require a beefy gaming PC. The Oculus Quest 2 256GB model is also available from Woot for $ 379, which is $ 20 off the retail price.
Note that both offerings require Amazon Prime membership. The deal ends November 12th at 1 p.m. ET.
The reason the Oculus Quest 2 has been at the top of our list of the best VR headsets for over a year is because it really is that good. At its price, it offers a compelling VR experience without cables. The lack of cables doesn’t seem like a big deal, but being tied to a beefy gaming PC puts a lot of pressure on freedom of movement. For example, if you have a large enough empty room, the Oculus Quest 2 can almost make you feel like you are in another world. When tied to a computer, you may only be able to move a few feet.
For which version do we recommend the 128 GB model. While it’s nice to have the maximum storage space unless you plan on having a library of over a hundred titles, it’s not necessary. You can also delete games and download them again at any time. Since the Oculus Quest 2 doesn’t natively run the most cutting-edge VR content, the games generally aren’t too difficult. Beat Saber, for example, the most popular game on the Oculus Quest Store, is 1.15 GB. The newly released Resident Evil 4 VR is 7.8 GB in size.
The other great thing about the Oculus Quest 2 is that it can connect to a PC when needed. Users can connect using a USB cable or even wirelessly. This opens up the capabilities of the headset and allows players to play more intense and visually fantastic titles. Of course, it’s best to play a game like Half Life Alyx on a powerful gaming PC.
