Meta Quest 2 deals are very hard to find. However, as of June 4 Meta has knocked $100 off the Quest 2. The price has dropped from $399 (128GB) to $299. 

The price cut comes on the heels of the Meta Quest 3 announcement. The next-gen headset will ship this fall and include a higher resolution, stronger performance, and a slimmer design. If you can afford to wait a few days, we expect to see more Meta Quest 2 deals once the price is officially dropped. So we're rounding up the best spots to find Meta Quest 2 stock along with any deals you may be able to get along the way.

Meta Quest 2: Which model to buy?

You can't really go wrong with either Meta Quest 2 model. In our Meta Quest 2 review, we concluded that it's the best VR headset you can buy, and praised its slick, intuitive design, faster performance and better resolution than its predecessor. And for $299, it's the cheapest standalone VR headset to offer 6DOF (meaning hand and head tracking in a 3D space). You can even cast your Meta Quest 2 to a TV if you want.

For casual gamers, the 128GB model should suffice. However, those who want to have a more extensive library of games and apps, may want to spend a little extra for the 256GB model to avoid constantly downloading and reinstalling software. More demanding games take up more space. Unfortunately, you cannot expand headset storage, so choose wisely.
