When it hadn’t even been five months since its launch, Meta Quest Pro significantly reduced its price. Apparently, the company intends with these offers for more people to join the metaverse.
This reduction of its original value includes the Meta Quest 2 (the 256GB model) and the Meta Quest Pro, as anticipated by the company on its official blog.
Mark Zuckerberg’s intention is to continue to support his hardware and software of virtual reality. The goal is still to appeal to casual users who are just looking for a little fun.
What is striking is the discount percentage, which reaches 33%. As it can currently be purchased for $1,499.99 (the sale has not yet gone into effect) and now its value will be less than a thousand dollars.
The setting is applied by March 15th in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. In the case of the United States and Canada, the discount will be effective from the 5th of the same month.
In addition, Meta Quest 2, the company’s most successful virtual reality headset, will also receive a discount. The 256GB version will now cost $429 instead of 499, while the 128 GB variant will remain $399.
“Whether you’re looking to play immersive video games, get creative, or collaborate with colleagues, there’s never been a better time to dive into virtual reality. Our goal has always been to make hardware that is affordable for as many people as possible, so they can take advantage of everything VR has to offer,” Meta said in her statement.
What are the Meta Quest Pros like?
One of its main features is a technology that detects the movement of the user’s eyes. Thus, the viewer will be able to change the resolution of the image to make the experience more realistic.
Because they don’t need a computer nearby, they run on batteries that can provide for each other 60 and 90 minutes autonomy on a single charge. Furthermore, in long sessions of use they can be used connected with the included USB-C cable.
In addition, they incorporate some new controls with support for the movement of 360 degrees which has a slot to become a stylus so you can write.
The Meta Quest Pro features a more comfortable design, with a lens in the front and the battery in the back to balance out the weight.
According to Zuckerberg, the headband-shaped device is much more comfortable and is designed to make the user feel truly present when socializing with others in the virtual world.
Another of the points where the bet has increased the most is in the dual screen that reaches a resolution of 1,800 by 1,920 pixels per eye with a maximum refresh rate of 90 Hz. They promise to offer 75% more contrast than the Quest 2 .
Internally, they are structured with a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2-Plus processor, 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. The lenses weigh no more than 122 grams and the weight is better distributed so they are comfortable to wear.
