The most accessible VR headset just hit a new all-time low price.

Yes, the Meta Quest 2 256GB just got a permanent price drop: $69 off the original $499 price tag. With the VR landscape expanding at a fast pace, there's never been a better time to dip your toes into this immersive style of gaming. (The Meta Quest Pro also has a new regular price of $999, $500 off the original price.)

The Meta Quest 2 is one of the best ways to hop into the world of VR gaming for newcomers, mainly because of how accessible it is. While not cheap, it's one of the most inexpensive VR headsets out there. But besides the lower price point, it's also a fantastic option for newbies thanks to its all-in-one design. Where most VR headsets require you to place sensors around your playing space or directly wire into a PC, the Meta Quest 2 asks nothing extra of you. No sensors, no wires, just the headset with everything you need to play already built in.

And now that it's cheaper than ever, it's a no-brainer to snag one if you've been toying with the idea of getting into VR gaming. Check out our list of retailers below that have adopted the new Meta Quest 2 price. (For some reason, GameStop hasn't corrected their price just yet.)
