It was easy to pick up on the theme of the Christmas holiday, which was that many of you bought or received a virtual reality headset. In perfect timing, the company has discounted many of its official accessories for the Quest 2, which can help to protect your headset, as well as make it more comfortable to wear. We have seen promotions that discount these add-ons when you purchase a headset, but never by themselves, so they are prominently featured today.
The fabric strap that comes with your Quest 2 is replaced by the Elite Strap at Best Buy. The weight of the headset is distributed more evenly on your head with the help of the Elite Strap. It is $34 at Best Buy, but it will ship in five to six weeks. It costs $39 at Walmart.
I just bought one and am about to buy another. They tend to last about a year under normal wear and tear, with the plastic side arms eventually breaking. The company can replace broken straps free of charge, thanks to the two-year warranty.
The zip-up case for the Oculus Quest 2 provides a safe place for your headset and controllers to reside when they aren't in use. This product is being discounted for the first time, from $49 to $39.

If you have a Micro Center store nearby, you can get the best price on the new AirPods Pro, which offer MagSafe charging. They were all the way down to $1599.99. You can reserve a set online at the store closest to you, but you will need to go to a Micro Center store to pick them up. It might be worth it to some, but don't fret if it's not a good idea. We are likely to see this deal at other retailers.

Shin Megami Tensei V for the Nintendo Switch is down to $34.99 from its normal price of $60. The game is often compared to the game in the Shin Megami Tensei series.
There are some similarities between the two adventures, primarily in the turn-based combat, the foes you are up against, and the fact that they are both long- lasting RPG adventures. Shin Megami Tensei has a reputation for being more difficult and brooding. They are each great in their own way.
