If you’re looking to buy the Oculus Quest 2 in the Black Friday deals, there’s good and bad news. First, the positives – for now, stock on the all-in-one VR headset is in pretty good shape in the US and UK, even though some parts of the world (and Amazon US, based on the delayed delivery time) are starting to run dry on the cheaper £299 / $299 / AU$479 64GB model. (Not in the US or UK? Scroll down for the best Oculus Quest 2 prices in your region)
The bad news? There are no real Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals right now, in terms of bundles or price cuts. While that might change before the end of the year, we’re not counting on it, since demand for the VR headset (not to mention anything gaming-related right now) is enormous.
Still, Walmart has made a big splash about having stock of the Oculus Quest 2 64GB model – it featured in its weekly ad and everything! Still, if the cheaper unit sells out there, the Oculus direct store also has stock at the time of writing in the US.
No matter where you are, find more Oculus Quest 2 deals below with our price comparison chart. The 256GB Quest 2, which is a better choice if you really want to load the headset up with games, retails for £399 / $399 / AU$639. So definitely don’t pay more than that for a Quest 2 headset this Black Friday.

Oculus Quest 2 alternative
If stock of the Oculus Quest 2 dries up, then it’s worth considering picking up an Oculus Rift S instead – which comes in at the same price as the Oculus Quest 2 (256GB). While the Oculus Rift S is a wired headset, which means it doesn’t come with the freedom of the Oculus Quest 2, it isn’t as confined by storage the way the Quest 2 is.
However, it’s worth noting that the Rift S is a PC-powered VR gaming headset and you’ll need at least a mid-tier PC for the headset to work properly.
US
Oculus Rift S: $399 at Lenovo
There’s not a discount on the Oculus Rift S at Lenovo but it’s a great alternative if the Oculus Quest 2 is out of stock – and comes in at the same price as the Oculus Quest 2 (256 GB). You’ll still get access to the same game library, though the Rift S is wired and allows for less movement – plus you’ll need at least a mid-tier PC for optimal performance. View Deal

This comfortable headset has a couple of drawbacks: you need a Facebook account to use it, and VR isn’t necessarily for everyone, so it’s ideal if you know whether you’re likely to be hit by motion sickness before dropping all that money on a headset.
Still, if you look at our best VR games list, you’ll find there’s no better time to get an Oculus Quest 2. This headset plugs directly into your PC, too, should you have one, letting you access games on Steam with some tinkering. It’s a dimension of gaming everyone should check out.
