The biggest shopping event of the year, Black Friday is nearly here. It serves as the best time to bag a bargain on tech and gaming devices, and we’ve just spotted an impressive deal on the Meta quest 2 in the Amazon Black Friday sale.
The price of the Meta quest 2 has been on something of a rollercoaster since its launch. It debuted at an introductory price of £299 before Meta increased it to £399 – using the excuse of production costs and economic conditions around the world.

Owing to this price hike, we’ve been on the hunt for a very good deal. Luckily, Meta has delivered with a new bundle, which not only includes a free copy of Resident Evil 4, but drops the price of the VR headset by £50. Every new Meta quest 2 customer already receives a free copy of Beat Saber, so you’re getting two great games and the headset for £349.
This is a genuinely good deal and the price is available at John Lewis & Partners, Currys, Argos, Game, and Amazon. So if you know somebody with the Meta quest 2 on their Christmas wish list, this serves as a great opportunity to pick one up. Read on for all the details.

Securing the top spot in our review of the best VR headsets, our tech writer Steve Hogarty praised it for being a “genuine breakthrough”. While it’s not the “most technically advanced virtual reality headset out there”, Hogarty noted that it’s the “first genuinely user-friendly one”.
“You don’t need an expensive gaming PC to plug it into, and there are no snaking cables to trip over. Instead, you just slip it on, grab hold of the controllers, and are immediately immersed in a believable 3D space,” he added. It’s this simplicity that is one of the big reasons “behind the company’s acquisition by Facebook, now Meta”.
If you want a “VR experience without the fuss, there’s no better entry point” than this device. Thankfully, Amazon has slashed the price of the device by £50, and has bundled it with Resident Evil 4 and Beat Saber.
