Save $70 on the Meta Quest 2 VR headset and get two free games
After the Meta Quest price hike last year, this is the cheapest we've seen the 256GB version, and it comes with two free games to boot.
The Meta Quest 2 VR headset is now $70 off on Meta's website when you grab the 256GB model and it comes with two free games.
The $70 discount means that the 256GB model is now only $30 more than the128GB model, plus it comes with two free games. VR headset deals are always on our radar and since the Meta Quest 2 is one of the best VR headsets out there, we like this deal a lot.

However, there is a lot to like about this headset as it's good value, only $30 more for twice the storage and two free games, it's compact and comfortable and it features good specs and performs well.
