Black Friday is around the corner, bringing with it some incredible deals on VR headsets. While the Oculus Quest 2 is seeing significant discounts, I urge you to consider investing in the Meta Quest 3 this Black Friday.
In the US, Amazon is offering the Meta Quest 2 for $249 and a $50 Amazon credit for free (saving you $100). Meanwhile, in the UK, Very is offering the Quest 2 for £249 with £50 cashback using code VKEXL (saving a total of £100). However, if your budget allows, consider purchasing the Meta Quest 3.
Although it is double the price, I believe the Meta Quest 3 is worth the extra cost, especially if you plan on using your VR headset extensively. This is reflected in our five-star review of the Meta Quest 3.
There are valid reasons to opt for an Oculus Quest 2 instead. If you have a tight budget, the more affordable Quest 2 is the better choice. Even after three years since its launch, the Quest 2 continues to offer great value for money. I’d also recommend it if you’re unsure about your VR usage or if it’s a gift for someone who may not handle it delicately. If it ends up being underutilized or damaged, the cheaper Quest 2 would be less of a financial hit compared to the more expensive Meta Quest 3.
However, if you intend to use the headset frequently, have the means, and desire a superior VR experience without needing a PC, then the Meta Quest 3 is the ideal choice. The graphics are significantly improved compared to what the Oculus Quest 2 offers, the comfort is slightly enhanced, and the Quest 3’s mixed-reality features are finally worthwhile.
If you’re inclined to purchase a Meta Quest 3, I suggest opting for the 128GB version. While it may require occasional digital library management (deleting and redownloading games as needed), 128GB should suffice for most users, considering the file size of VR software.
If you do decide to make a purchase, take a look at this guide to the Meta Quest 3 games and apps you should download first. There’s a variety of excellent software available for the system, but these are my personal top picks.
