Traditionally, Cyber Monday was the best time to secure top technology deals, as it was the online answer to Black Friday’s in-store sales.

However, in recent years, almost all sales have moved online, which means that Black Friday — which now runs for pretty much the whole of November — is the best time to shop for tech.

Over the last few weeks, we’ve seen some brilliant discounts on devices, such as Black Friday Ring doorbell deals, Apple iPad Black Friday deals, best printer Black Friday deals, and Black Friday Apple Watch deals, and these ones for the Meta Quest 2 are no different.

The RadioTimes.com team expected some great discounts on the headset, which was previously known as the Oculus Quest 2, as the Meta Quest 3 became officially available to order in October this year.

The Meta Quest 2 is an entry-level Virtual Reality (VR) device, and in our 'is the Meta Quest 2 worth it?' article, we praised the headset for its simple set-up, fantastic graphics, choice of games and its affordability, as it’s much cheaper to buy the Meta Quest 2 rather than a PC and compatible headset for VR gaming.

Usually, the smaller 128GB version of the Meta Quest 2 retails for £399.99, and the bigger 256GB version has an RRP of £499.99.

We’ve searched reputable retailers such as Currys and JD Williams to bring you the headset for less, and the best price we've seen on the Meta Quest 2 is this one from EE, which sees you pay £22 per month for 11 months with a £5 upfront fee, meaning you'll get the VR headset for just £247.

Let's take a look at even more brilliant deals.

Should I wait until Black Friday to buy the Meta Quest 2?

You'd be forgiven for thinking that Black Friday has already been and gone with the amount of incredible sales we've seen over the past two weeks. However, the actual Black Friday day takes place this week, on Friday 24th November. So, should you wait until then to buy the Meta Quest 2?

To give you a simple answer – no. We'd recommend snapping-up the Meta Quest 2 now rather than waiting until 24th November.

Last year, the Meta Quest 2 was discounted by £50 — taking the price from £399 to £349 — and other deals included redeeming Beat Saber, getting Resident Evil 4 and a carry case, all for either free or at a discounted price. In comparison to these Black Friday 2022 deals, the ones we've seen so far this year have been a lot better.

At the moment, you can get the Meta Quest 2 from just £247 — that's a huge £152 (or 38%) off, and three times the saving as last year. With a deal this good, we can imagine the VR headset will sell out soon.
