Want an Oculus Quest 2? You can’t beat Meta’s best ever Black Friday deal

Black Friday is here and if you’ve been looking to pick up an Oculus Quest 2 then there’s never been a better time thanks to Meta’s Black Friday Oculus Quest 2 deals. 

This is probably one of the year’s best Black Friday deals in general as not only can you pick up the Oculus Quest 2 at a discount – the 128GB model is down $50 / £50 to $349.99 / £349.99, and the 256GB version is down $70 / £70 to $429.99 / £429.99 – but you get free games too. It’s not just any free games either. The free games are Resident Evil 4 VR and Beat Saber  (two of the best Oculus Quest 2 games out there).

Sure, the Quest 2 was cheaper before August 2022 when its price was hiked $100 / £100 but this bundle packs in more than enough value to make this Meta’s best-ever VR deal.

Oculus Quest 2 (128 GB) Black Friday bundle: was $469.99 now $349.99 at Amazon
 If you've been after an Oculus Quest 2, this is the perfect time to pick one up. In our four-and-a-half-star review we commended the Quest 2's solid specs and easy-to-use nature, plus there are some great games on the platform (which this bundle includes two of: Beat Saber and Resident Evil 4 VR).View Deal

Oculus Quest 2 (256 GB) Black Friday bundle: was $589.99 now $429.99 at Amazon
 If you like the deal above but want a VR headset with more storage, this bundle with the 256GB Quest 2 is the way to go. That said, we've found that you need a lot of VR games to fill even the old 64GB Quest 2, so the 128GB model above should be fine if you're on a budget – especially since the specs are otherwise identical.View Deal

Oculus Quest 2 (128 GB) Black Friday bundle: was £452.99 now £349.99 at Amazon
 In our four-and-a-half-star review, we celebrated the Oculus Quest 2's easy to use design, as well as its good visuals and specs (especially for its price). This deal doesn't make it as cheap as it used to be (£299 before a price hike) but it's still an amazing bundle offer that includes a lot of bang for your buck.View Deal

Oculus Quest 2 (256 GB) Black Friday bundle: was $552.99 now £429.99 at Amazon
 This version of the Oculus Quest 2 bundle includes the same great games and VR headset, except it comes with more storage (256GB instead of 128GB). Admittedly, you don't need this much space unless you plan to download a lot (and we really mean a lot) of VR games, but if you want to go all-in on the metaverse this bundle could be perfect for you.View Deal

The Oculus Quest 2 is one of the best VR headsets on the market, especially if you're on a budget. While it's not as impressive as the Valve Index in terms of specs, or normally as cheap as the Pico 4, Meta's device has more than a few things going for it.

First, unlike the Index, Meta's headset is standalone. If you want to connect it to a PC you can but to play a VR game you don't have to. You also don't need to set up any annoying towers in the real world either, you just have to clear a space and draw a quick outline once you put the headset on so it knows where is safe and you're ready to go.

Secondly, while the Pico 4 is normally slightly cheaper at £379 (it's only available in the UK) and comes with slightly better specs, its software is definitely inferior right now. Generally, the Pico OS doesn't feel as fine-tuned as what Meta's hardware runs on and the games on the Pico 4 aren't as good as those on the Quest platform. Not only does it lack great titles like Beat Saber and Resident Evil 4 VR, but the Pico 4's version of games like After the Fall and Walkabout Mini Golf lack content that's available on the rival hardware.

That said, if you are in the UK you might still want to take a look at Pico's Black Friday 2022 deal as you can get the headset and three free games – RuinsMagus, After the Fall, and Les Mills BodyCombat – for as little as £379.99. Just note that the deal won't be live until November 24, and it ends on November 28, 2022 (like all the other Cyber Monday deals).

Android 12 will bring the end of third-party share menus

Apps like Sharedr will no longer be able to replace the default share dialog. What you need to know Third-party apps will not be allowed to replace the Android share menu in Android 12. You will no longer be able to set apps like Sharedr as the default. Google says it never intended to allow third-party apps to replace the official Sharesheet. One of Android 12 's biggest highlights is the new Material You design language, which brings major changes to nearly every key UI component. Android 12 will also introduce a major change to the way users share links and photos, according to a report from XDA Developers . On Android 11 , Google allows third-party apps and OEMs to fully customize the Android Sharesheet, which is the reason why the share dialog differs from one app to another. It is even possible to completely bypass the official Android Sharesheet by setting an app like Sharedr as the default Sharesheet. In addition to providing a more consistent experience, Sharedr

The new Amazon Fire HD 10 is growing into a viable productivity tablet

An already good entertainment device finally gets productive. Amazon has been busy churning out a whole host of new devices and upgrades to existing devices over the past several months. Earlier this year, I reviewed the excellent Echo Buds (2nd Gen) , and even the fantastic Echo Frames (2nd Gen), have since been updated to include options with sunglass and blue light filtering lenses . In early May, we also learned that Amazon was refreshing the Echo Show 5 and Echo Show 8 and that it was even rolling out its first Echo Show for kids . While newer and more novel products like the ones mentioned above often see a faster update cycle, more mature devices like Kindle e-readers and Fire tablets go longer between new versions. In fact, the last update to the Fire HD 10 line was back in 2019, so, understandably, Amazon was ready to reinvigorate its flagship tablet. Not only did it update the specs and colors on the Fire HD 10, but it also gave us a second version in the Fire HD 10 Plu

Google Announces Support for Account Passkeys

Google today announced that it is introducing support for passkeys, providing an easier and more secure login method for Google accounts. Apple integrated passkeys into iOS with the launch of iOS 16 , and it is also available in iPadOS 16.1 and later as well as macOS Ventura . Passkeys are an industry standard developed by the FIDO Alliance and the World Wide Web Consortium, so Google's passkey integration will work on Apple devices as well as on other devices that support the feature. As Google notes: Last year — alongside FIDO Alliance, Apple and Microsoft — we announced we would begin work to support passkeys on our platform as an easier and more secure alternative to passwords. And today, ahead of World Password Day, we've begun rolling out support for passkeys across Google Accounts on all major platforms. They'll be an additional option that people can use to sign in, alongside passwords, 2-Step Verification (2SV), etc. Passkeys are both easier to use and more
