This Black Friday, consumers have the opportunity to obtain phenomenal discounts on the Oculus Quest 2. Retailers like Amazon and Very are providing significant savings on the already affordable VR headset, with the Quest 2 priced at $249 in the US and £249 in the UK, and receiving $50 Amazon credit or £50 cashback respectively, resulting in a total saving of $100. However, for those with the means to afford it, I strongly advocate investing in the Meta Quest 3.
The Meta Quest 3 costs twice as much as the Quest 2, but it offers an enhanced VR experience that is worth the additional expense – a rating of five stars in our Meta Quest 3 review attests to this. On the other hand, there are still compelling reasons to acquire an Oculus Quest 2, particularly if budget constraints exist or if the VR headset is at risk of being handled roughly. The Quest 2 continues to provide excellent value even years after its release.
However, for individuals planning to use the headset frequently, possessing a higher budget, and desiring a superior VR experience that does not rely on a PC, the Meta Quest 3 is the headset of choice. The Meta Quest 3 surpasses the Quest 2 in graphic quality, offers improved comfort, and incorporates mixed-reality features that are finally worthwhile.
If you are persuaded to acquire the Meta Quest 3, I suggest purchasing the 128GB version, which provides sufficient storage for most users. I recommend checking out this guide to the Meta Quest 3 games and apps you should download first, offering great software for the system.
