Very just destroyed Amazon’s Meta Quest 2 deal
In This Article
The Meta Quest 2 VR headset has been a staple of Black Friday sales for the past few years, and 2023 is no different. But while consumers flocked to Amazon in droves for a tempting £50 discount on the headset, Very has just bested it.
Very is currently matching the reduced £249 price tag that Amazon is offering on the Quest 2, but with a twist; if you enter codeVKEXLat the checkout, you’ll get £50 cashback, effectively reducing the headset’s price to just £199.
Get the Meta Quest 2 for just £199 at Very
Very has not only matched the discounted £249 price tag of the Quest 2 at Very, but if you add codeVKEXLat checkout, you’ll get £50 cashback which effectively brings the price down to just £199 – the cheapest since its launch in 2020.
It’s worth noting that Very will initially charge your card the full £249 before applying £50 credit to whichever card you use to pay. The charge will be near-instant, but to avoid problems, be sure to have enough in your account to cover the initial £249 payment.
The £199 price tag also represents the cheapest the Quest 2 has been since it was first launched way back in 2020. That makes it particularly tempting for those who want to try out virtual reality for the first time. It’s not quite as advanced as the newerQuest 3, but at £529, it’s quite a lot more expensive too.
Is the Meta Quest 2 worth buying?
Is the VR headset still worth a buy in 2023?
Pros
Cons
Even though the Meta Quest 2 first launched back in 2020, it remains a compelling standalone VR headset that’s ideal for those yet to try out the emerging tech. It boasts solid VR performance with accurate tracking and compact, ergonomic controllers, and you can even ditch those for hand-tracking if you like.
While the newer Quest 3 boasts significant upgrades in terms of performance, the Snapdragon XR2 chipset within the Quest 2 is still capable of delivering a great experience – so much so that the chipset is used by high-end headsets like the Vive Elite XR in 2023.
Throw in a vast library of standalone VR titles that beat the standalone VR competition from Vive and Pico, fantastic wireless performance when streaming from a PC and a very affordable price, and you’ve got a great VR headset.
