For Cyber Monday, Amazon has the best deal on a VR headset. Right now you can save $50 off the Meta Quest 2 , bringing the price down to $249 for the 128GB model and $299 for the 256GB model. Additionally, you get a bonus $50 Amazon digital credit when you apply promo code: "META50", essentially increasing your savings to $100.

Cyber Monday Deal: Save $50 Off Meta Quest 2 VR Headset and Get Free $50 Amazon Digital Credit
Even with the release of the Quest 3, the Quest 2 VR headset is still far and away the best value when it comes to VR gaming. For a price that beats every other comparable VR headset out there, it offers a completely tether-free experience, phenomenal inside-out tracking, and a huge library of games.
The Quest 2 features a fast-switch LCD display with a resolution of 1832x1920 per eye and a maximum 90Hz refresh rate along with built-in speakers so no headphones are required. Gone are the days where you'd have to install clunky sensors for tracking; the Quest 2 uses sensors in the headset and controllers themselves to give you 6DOF inside-out tracking without any need for external base stations. The Touch controllers are very precise and are one of the lightest VR controllers on the market, perfect for playing Expert+ levels on Beat Saber for long periods of time without tiring out.
The Quest 2's real claim to fame is the ability to play completely standalone. The built-in Snapdragon XR2 processor means that you can load all of your games right onto the Quest 2 itself. You don't need to buy an expensive PC or tether yourself to an ungainly wire to play immersive VR games.
As for Meta Quest 3 Cyber Monday deals, there isn't much. The headset currently costs $499.99 at Amazon and everywhere else, though Newegg is throwing in a $15 Meta gift card with purchase. You can get the Quest 2 for half that price, plus you get a $50 gift card that you can spend on more VR games. For the vast majority of people, especially those who are just getting into VR and aren't sure whether or not they'll stick around, the Quest 2 is undoubtedly the smarter choice.
