Quest may have introduced Australians to its third major virtual reality tool in October, but the brand is already hosting a sale on Amazon.
The brand has discounted its extremely popular Meta Quest 2 by 15 per cent down to $499.99 just in time for shoppers to snap up the headset and controllers.
Those who own the Quest 2 are highly appreciative of its features — both for a beginner and an expert — and believe the price is entirely reasonable for the product itself.

“The Quest 2 makes it easier than ever to get into VR at an attractive price. You don’t need to worry about sensors, cameras, cables or dedicating a room of your house to it,” one man wrote on Amazon.
“What you have in the box is all you will need. You will feel like an expert in no time and it’s well explained in tutorials.”
“The Meta Quest 2 has completely transformed my perception of virtual reality gaming. This device offers an incredible immersive experience that’s perfect for both beginners and seasoned VR enthusiasts, all at an affordable price,” said another.
The sale on Meta Quest 2 comes just three months after the brand launched its third virtual reality headset in Australia, which has been labelled the “best value for money”.
The Meta Quest 3 in 128GB and 512GB is available exclusively at Amazon Australia from $799.99 and comes complete with Asgard’s Wrath 2.
This special offer with the accompanying game will last until January 27, 2024, or until stock runs out.
It’s the most powerful Quest device yet, featuring next-level performance with more than double the graphic processing power of Quest 2.
Users will experience more immersion with dazzling 4K+ Infinite Display, a nearly 30 per cent leap in resolution from Quest 2, and rich 3D audio with enhanced sound clarity, bass performance and a 40 per cent louder volume range than the previous model.
“Reach out and touch virtual worlds with Touch Plus controllers that give you fine-tuned precision, realistic sensations and more intuitive interactions. You can even navigate without controllers with Direct Touch that follows your gestures, so you can use just your hands to find your way,” the website says.
Explore the world’s best library of 500+ immersive apps and find your favourite content across gaming, fitness, wellness, entertainment and social experiences.
Access all the games and apps you already own and love in the Meta Quest library with backwards compatibility, now with the most immersive graphics at incredibly fast speeds.
There are already a number of positive reviews on the Amazon website with “massive improvement over the Quest 2”.
“It has better resolution, improved graphics, controller and hand/body tracking and a slimmer fit,” one reviewer said.
“When the Quest 2 was introduced, it was labeled as the best value for money in the VR world, and with the introduction of the Quest 3, this statement is no different,” said another.
A third added: “The Quest 3 was certainly a ‘we will wait and see option’ in my head but in the last minute. I chose to purchase this the day before release! I received it the next day (release day) around lunchtime which was perfect for allowing me to set up for the afternoon!
