Meta Quest 2 isn't the best VR headset on the market anymore, but it is the second best. That's a pretty good position to be in, since the Quest 2's successor—the Meta Quest 3—is considered by our experts to be the very best.
But not everyone has AU$900 spare for Zuckerberg's metaverse goggles. That's why the Meta Quest 2 is still a viable alternative for the less-extravagant buyer who nevertheless wants a great VR experience. It "hits a perfect medium between functionality and price," our VR guide reads, "which puts it in pole position as far as we're concerned."
Good news, then: the 128GB model is currently down to AU$360 on Amazon as part of the monopolising retailer's Big Smile Sale. Normally it retails for AU$440, so it's leaving AU$80 in your pocket, all the better to afford, I dunno, a punnet of strawberries and a six pack of sarsaparilla. Cost of living crisis, hey.
That's a pretty decent deal, though I've not seen anything else particularly worthy. The utterly brilliant Alienware QD-OLED 34 inch gaming monitor is down to AU$1,679, but it was cheaper during Black Friday last year. I dunno, maybe stock up on cat food? For the cat, of course.
