As someone with a Quest 2 and a Quest 3.. I haven't touched my Quest 2 since the Q3 release, and I'd still highly recommend this deal, even without the gift card.

The Quest 2 still has quite a bit of life to it - it won't get the high-res textures in newer games, but Meta unlocked something like 30% extra power in the headset a while back, there's a huge backlog of quality games and even the newer games run on it (there might be a couple quest-3-exclusive games on it)

Much of the Quest3 benefit is going to be in the better lenses, the extra power (higher quality visuals) and the color passthrough, and I love all of these -- but the Quest 2 can still run games great.

I'd say the controllers on the Quest 2 might even track better than the Quest 3.

A couple quick notes/suggestions:

Use a referral code when activating your Quest, you'll get a bonus $30 store credit.
Whenever buying a game from the store, use a referral code and you'll save 25% instantly. Both of these are easy to find.

Buy the "Quest Games Optimizer" (3rd party tool) which will let you adjust the quality of games, like resolution and power. Many of them are not optimized and can look considerably better with this add-on
You could buy from Target and return the new unopened one to Walmart?
I completely respect the significant price difference, but… the 3 not having one specific visual "sweet spot" you have to align to perfectly, thanks to pancake vs fresnel lenses, is a huge difference for me and has meant I am now unable to use my 2. However, if you have never used either, for $150, this is a cheap entry point. But, once you use the Q3's lenses….

If I already own the OG Vive but I hate the cables, will this be a good enough thing to transition to for mostly Steam VR games? Or will there be performance or other issues that make me still want to use the Vive ..?

This headset works great to play wirelessly with steam - my friend uses his all the time and even played through all of HL Alyx with it!

For anyone buying one of these, you can get more mileage out of it with any existing Meta headset owner's referral code. Using it to sign up gets both YOU and the friend a $30 store credit for the Meta app store.

Also there's a similar system with games themselves - game owners can generate a 25% discount link for basically anything they buy. They get a $5 credit when someone buys it.

Step, of course. Step.
can you give us an example of the top of your head? Game/setting changed

I've been using the quest 3 with it lately, so I haven't tried much with the quest 2 and it over the last 5-6 months, but almost every game would noticeably be improved. Even recent ones like Resident Evil 4.

A lot of older titles were built to take advantage of the quest 1 and 2, and never got.optimized after meta unlocked additional processing power on the headset, so using these customizations let you up the resolution, framerate and texture quality quite a bit.

I would say almost every game I tried it with, on quest 3 and 2, made a notable difference if you're doing A/B comparison, and I could notice the downgrade if I played a game without it turned on

Quote from NSXMK3 :
I bought both the 2 and the 3 at launch -- And while I love the 3 and am very happy to have it, it's hard to justify the large price hike for it (basically "$150" (including the $50 gift card)) versus $500.
The biggest benefit to the 3 are that it will have a longer lifespan. Expect it to last about 2 years past the Quest 2's end of life, which isn't here yet. The Quest 2 will continue to have compatible games and has a huge backlog.
The other benefits to the 3 are going to be Mixed Reality gaming (which has definitely been a "thing" with the release of the Q3, but never really was with the Quest 2). How important is that, and will that be to you? That would probably help decide which to buy.
The better lenses are definitely nice, and the existing games will generally look better on Quest 3 (especially newer ones).

Side-by-side, if the Quest 2 was $150/200, the Quest 3 should probably be around $350. It's a steep jump to go from that entry level price to $500 for these benefits.

With that said, if you just want the best, the Quest 3 is a no brainer. You'll probably upgrade to one at some point, so why buy old tech when the new stuff is out? If you can afford the 3, it is the one to get.. the 2 is just there for if you're having difficulty justifying that cost.

If you do want the Quest 2 though, it's an easy at this price. You get a $50 gift card and can get a $30 store credit for a referral code, so you're basically looking at $120 (assuming you use both the target card and the store credit). Compared to other gift card offers like Dell, this one is probably a much easier one to use.

Quest 2 is def worth it for a great VR exp fun for the whole family

Paid $200 for the Quest 2 with an extra headset thing a few weeks ago. Still haven't used the headset yet but the quest is cool.

For anyone who plans to play games from a PC, Fanatical has a good VR bundle right now

I'm going to have to make sure not to use the Quest 3 then, I guess.

Would appreciate some SD advice. I'm totally new to VR world, and my kid recently used one at a cousin's house and loved it.

Two questions:
1. Is this a good entry point? Good games for kids under 10 (ie, not superviolent FPSs)?
2. Might hold onto this until August as a birthday present. Is new tech/version coming in next four months that might drive price down on this model, or am I likely paying somewhere around the same price point for this in the summer?

Thanks everyone.

My 7 year old likes this a lot. Several other kids have tried it. But we barely play video games. He plays maybe 30 minutes a week, when we're using it.

The quality is fantastic--better than you're expecting, if you've never tried VR. Also, it connects to PC easily for super high end visuals.

Price wise... It's not gonna get that much cheaper I don't think.

For most of the stationary games I'm fine. For the standing ones where you don't use the left thumb stick to run around- I'm fine. But the games where the left thumb stick controls movement ie running- it makes me so sick.

Also the passthrough feature (allows you to see around using the cameras) is in color on the Q3 vs. black and white on the Q2.

If you just want a vr headset to play beat saber and non-AR games, just buy this. I got a Quest 3 last October, loved every bit of it, but returned it to stay with my Quest 2 because I realized I only wanna use VR for exercise games like Beat Saber and Supernatural, and sometimes enjoy watching videos on this huge screen (yeah, watching youtube 4k or full HD is amazing on it), and therefore find no added value in the Quest 3.

What the Quest 3 excels at is AR, full color environment pass through. If you want a complete VR and AR experience, save for the Quest 3; it's still well worth the money. You will be impressed. But again, this Q2 is perfect for non-AR use and cost less than half the Q3.

Also, seeing how cheap it is, I don't have to baby my Q2. I just play the heck out of it, sweat all over the head strap, and that's fine. If it breaks I'll just buy a new one.

Bought one from Target two weeks ago and bought one today. Went to pick it up and immediately returned it using the older receipt. That was a fun experience, lol. Yes, I had asked the associate if it was ok.
