Oculus Quest 2 Cyber Monday deals: Which model to buy?

The Oculus Quest 2 is the best VR headset you can buy, and the recipient of a Tom’s Guide Editor’s Choice award. In our Oculus Quest 2 review, we loved its slick, intuitive design, as well as its faster performance and better resolution than its predecessor. At $299, it’s the cheapest standalone VR headset to offer 6DOF (meaning hand and head tracking in a 3D space). 

For casual gamers, the 64 GB model should suffice. However, hardcore gamers may want to spend a little extra for the 256 GB model to avoid constantly downloading and reinstalling applications. More demanding games take up more space. Unfortunately, you cannot expand headset storage, so pick wisely.
