Meta (or Facebook or whatever you prefer to call them) has hit the table when it comes to virtual reality devices. With the Meta Quest 2 (previously known as Oculus Quest 2) they have managed to extend the VR market to levels unbelievably greater than could be imagined, thanks to the mix of a self-sufficient product, being the first to not need a PC to run, and an absurdly low price compared to the competition.
Nevertheless, If you were doubting whether to get a Meta Quest 2 or not, you can now run, because very soon they will be €100 more expensive. And no, this price increase is not about a revision with a larger battery, size, or any other type of advantage. It will be exactly the same product with a price increase.
In order to continue investing in moving the VR industry forward for the long term, we are adjusting the price of Meta Quest 2 headsets to $399.99 (128GB) and $499.99 (256GB) starting on 8/1/22.

Although it has not been specified whether this price increase will affect all the regions in which the product is sold (for example, in Spain they already cost €50 more expensive than their price in the United States), it can be assumed that it will, and that it will be an increase price on a global scale. It should be noted that Meta was selling the glasses at a loss, probably at very high levels, so it is not entirely strange that, if the sales volume has been enormously high, they have chosen to stop losing so much money in each one of them. the virtual reality glasses sold.
