The news thatMeta has cut the priceof itsbest VR headsets, theMeta Quest 2and theMeta Quest Pro, probably won’t have caused much consternation atSonyHQ. That’s because even with their prices slashed, the Meta sets make thePSVR 2look like good value.
It seems that Meta is having something of a fire sale at the moment. The Meta Quest 2 now comes with two games included – GOLF+ and Space Pirate Trainer DX – and the cost of the 256GB version is down from £499 to £429.
Meanwhile the Meta Quest Pro is down from $1,499 to $999 in the US – but here in the UK it’s still £1,499.
When you compare those prices to the PSVR, which is currently £530, the PSVR suddenly looks so much better value.
At this price, I’d rather have the PSVR 2 than a Meta Quest 2
That’s a lot of money for a VR headset that’s now three years old. Sony’s PSVR 2 is probably overpriced, but it’s also three years newer – and as we detail in ourPSVR 2 vs Meta Quest 2 comparisonthe Sony has better specs in almost every respect: a wider field of view, OLED displays, higher resolution and so on. The imminent Meta Quest 3 will no doubt bring the Meta offering closer to the Sony, but that’s not what the firm is selling right now.
