As our deals soaked hub page suggests, Amazon Prime Day is now in full swing. Are there some amazing discounts in there? Absolutely. There's also a fantastic opportunity if you've been planning to make a trip into the mind-blowing medium that is VR.
For a limited time you can score a great deal on the Meta Quest 2 (once known as the Oculus Quest 2). Back when this unit debuted, we loved it to the tune of a 9 out of ten. Later on, we also rated it as the number one VR headset available in 2022—beating out stiff competition like PSVR, HTC Vive Cosmos and the Valve Index. Basically, the TL;DR is this: Meta Quest 2 improved upon an already amazing VR headset, thanks to better resolution, refresh rate, and a lower price tag.
Has said price tag gone even lower today? Short answer "kinda" with an if. Long answer "no", with a but. Basically, Amazon is going to hand you $100 worth of credit to use as you see fit. You're also scoring two free games, Population: One (normally $42.95) and Onward ($35.95). Last but not least, this purchase will net new members 1-month of Xbox PC Game Pass. Needless to say, there's more VR gold in that thar subscription.
Do you want to know what sold me on the Meta Quest 2, personally? Resident Evil 4 VR and the (slightly annoying) fact it's utterly exclusive to this one headset. We 9'd RE4 VR for very good reasons in our video review. Alternatively, allow it to sell itself to you in this raw, pistol-flippin' gameplay vid.
