Meta Quest 2 Resident Evil 4 Bundle — $430, was $500
One of the best VR headsets around, the Meta Quest 2 is a fantastic way to discover VR gaming. Well-priced, it offers a refresh rate of 120Hz so you get a smooth gaming experience with an excellent resolution of 1832 x 1920 pixels per eye. Its only real limitation is a field of view of 97 degrees and it uses a mobile processor so it’s not the fastest around. However, at this price, it’s the ideal starting position. You get total immersion without having to worry about any cables with the device also offering highly intuitive controls and a setup that means you can take it anywhere without any hassle. Resident Evil 4 is easily one of the best Meta Quest 2 games you can buy providing you with truly immersive horror that’s going to stick in your memory for a while to come. As a bundle, you can’t go wrong with this package.
Meta Quest Pro — $1,370, was $1,500
If money is no object, you’ve almost certainly already looked at the differences between the Meta Quest Pro and Quest 2 and worked out what you need to do. The Meta Quest Pro has 37% more pixels per inch compared to the cheaper alternative so it looks sharper. It’s also 50% faster thanks to a new processor and offers additional features like face-tracking and eye-tracking. If you want the best VR experience out there and you can afford it, it’s worth the upgrade but bear in mind the additional cost. After all, none of these things are truly essential to everyone but if you want a professional VR headset, the Meta Quest Pro is the one for you. Pair it up with some of the best Quest 2 accessories for the ultimate experience. Walmart’s website shows that the Meta Quest Pro’s original price was $1,800. We’re not sure where they got that price, as you can buy a non-discounted Meta Quest Pro at Best Buy for $1,500 right now. Whatever the reason, this Walmart price is the cheapest you’re going to find it today.
