There are only five days left to bag yourself a slice of the affordable VR pie. It's not a real pie, I mean, it's not even a virtual one. But, whatever, there are still only five days until Meta hikes the price of the Quest 2 goggles(opens in new tab) by a frankly bewildering $100. And so, if you want to grab the best VR headset(opens in new tab) around at a good price, then you're going to have to move fast.
There's a good chance that stock of the $299 128GB version of the Quest 2 will run dry before the price goes up on August 1, 2022, because it's already impossible to pick one up on Amazon or Newegg at the appropriate price. You can still get the 256GB version for its current $399 price at Amazon(opens in new tab), however, if you really want the extra storage.
The cheaper 128GB headset is the one PC gamers ought to be coveting, and at its $299 price point it really is a steal, but that's way harder to justify with a 33% price increase. The 120Hz refresh, decent resolution, and super simple PC setup make it the only VR headset I would ever consider using.
Mine is sat on a hook next to my PC and can be setup and booted into Half-Life: Alyx, fighting headcrabs and Combine in minutes.

It's out of stock at this price on Amazon, right now, which I'd suggest indicates that you'll need to move quick before the affordable stock runs dry.
