BLACK Friday is just days away and we spotted a major discount on a leading virtual reality headset.

The Meta Quest 2 allows you to step into the world of virtual reality, and in an early Black Friday deal from Very, you can do it for £200 less.

Simply use the code VKEXL at the checkout to receive £50 cashback – a nice little extra saving.

The fantastic saving is definitely causing it to go down a storm: the retailer’s website states they’re ‘going fast’, and 44 that had been purchased with over 100 views from potential buyers.

The Meta Quest 2 has been an extremely popular and successful headset, and has since been succeeded by the Meta Quest 3, which was released in September this year – hence the drop in price.

Our Gaming Editor Stoyan Ovcharov wrote in-depth Meta Quest 3 review soon after its launch.

It’S a newer device, but it should provide you with some insight as to how these devices operate, and what you can do with them as you can expect there to be significant overlap between the devices.

The Meta Quest 2 allows you to escape into boundless virtual realities. All you have to do is pick up the controllers and don the headset to experience mind-bending worlds and a whole new way to play.

Unlike other VR headsets on the marketplace, this is a standalone device, so there’s no need to invest in a fancy PC or gaming system in order to enjoy it.

An integrated battery means that you can take it on the go, and always have high-quality immersive fun without the extra cables and fuss. We’re sure you’ve got mates who’d appreciate a go on this when you pay them a visit.

It doesn’t just display a new world for you. It also utilises 3D positional audio, so as you move around, how close or far noises are changed, as well as the direction they come from.

VR still has a large catalogue of games and activities for you to take part in, with over 250 titles that cover fitness, gaming and entertainment realms.

While the idea may be to get lost in an entirely new world, you don’t want to wander too far in the real world, so its Guardian boundary system ensures you get a warning should you start to stray too far.

One customer ‘highly recommended’ the VR headset going on to praise it for providing ‘a great experience’ and that they ‘can’t wait to try more games’.

Another shopper claims they ‘use it every day’ and that ‘the first thing that I think about is playing my VR with [their] friends’ so you can be sure if you’re getting it as a gift, your young ones will love it.
