Meta just made the surprising announcement that it will be raising the price of its Quest 2 virtual reality headsets by $100<\/a> next month. If you did a double take upon seeing that news, we commiserate \u2014 it\u2019s weird for a two-year-old consumer tech product to suddenly go up in price.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re conditioned to expect the price of tech products to go down over time thanks to the relentless advancement of technology and more efficient manufacturing processes. But here, the same product you could buy in September 2020 will cost 33 percent more in August 2022. <\/p>\n

The official reason Meta is upping prices is that \u201cthe costs to make and ship our products have been on the rise,\u201d according to a company blog post credited only to the \u201cOculus Blog.\u201d<\/a> \u201cBy adjusting the price of Quest 2, we can continue to grow our investment in groundbreaking research and new product development that pushes the VR industry to new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n
