Perhaps you’ve been looking to jump into virtual reality but found that decent hardware was just too expensive. Meta, the company behind Facebook, is now looking to destroy the notion that VR hardware is too expensive by making its Meta Quest 2 available for just $199.
It was only at the end of 2023 when Meta announced that it was permanently cutting the price of the Quest 2 to $249. The company has not said that this $199 price drop is permanent so if you’re interested at this price point, now could be a very good time to buy.
