The Meta Quest lineup has always offered a great way to jump into the world of virtual reality at a reasonable price, and that's especially true today. Swing by Walmart, and you'll find the last-gen Meta Quest 2 on sale for $199 (down from $250). To make it even more enticing, you'll also get a free $50 Meta Quest Store Credit that can be used to purchase games for your new headset. If you buy the headset, you should also consider pairing it with the official carrying case and Elite Strap, which makes the headset more comfortable to wear. Amazon has the carrying case for $20 (was $45) and the Elite Strip for $24.76 (was $50).

Meta Quest 2 (128GB) + $50 Store Credit

$199 (retail value of $300)

The Meta Quest 2 (128GB) typically retails for $250, which makes this a great deal without the bonus gift card. But when you factor that in, this is one of the best Meta Quest 2 deals we've seen. Depending on how you spend the gift card, you could easily fill your headset with two or three titles for free. Just make sure to activate your product within 90 days of purchase to qualify for the gift card--which will be delivered via a notification message in VR.

Note that Amazon, Best Buy, Target, and GameStop are also selling the Meta Quest 2 for $199, but none include the additional $50 gift card.

While 128GB doesn't seem like a lot of storage, most VR newcomers will likely find it capable of holding more than enough game. And even though Meta has released the Quest 3, the Quest 2 still plays nearly every title in the Meta Quest Store and is a great starting point for anyone seeking to break into the world of virtual reality.

This offer from Walmart is one of the best offers we've seen this year. It's even better than the Meta Quest 2 Comfort Bundle we saw at Amazon earlier this week, which pulls together the headset and a handful of accessories for $224. If Walmart sells out, you could also check out the Meta Quest 2 Power Bundle, which typically retails for $345 but is now just $243 and comes with an enhanced headset strap and lightweight carrying case. Just keep in mind that you could buy the headset at Walmart and the Power Bundle accessories--the Elite Strap and carrying case--separately at Amazon to get a better deal.
