When is the best time to buy Oculus Quest.

Hi everybody. 
Can you suggest me when is the best time to buy Oculus Quest.  Actually I want to know, is there any software/hardware/performance update, that I need to wait for?
Also is there an option to buy with a discount(like in Christmas, Black Friday). Or the price is always constant?

I doubt you're going to see any discounts from Oculus. Your local BestBuy or Walmart might have something on Black Friday if you're willing to camp out. Generally, I wouldn't expect to get it for less than $400 though.

As far as updates coming up, I very strongly doubt you're going to see any hardware updates anytime soon, as the headset hasn't even been out for a year.
The only significant change coming to the Quest soon is Oculus Link coming out next month, which will allow you to stream games from a gaming pc to the Quest via a USB-C cable, so essentially it can act like it's a Rift. They're also working on hand tracking using the on-board cameras. I think that's expected next year. Really, though, if you're going to buy one, there's no reason not to just buy it now. Any upcoming updates or changes to the headset will be available to everyone via software update.

Personal the right time is now, when you consider where the quest was at launch to where it is right now with the latest update (10.0), this is how it should have been launched.. Its still nowhere near perfect but then again nothing ever is, casting still needs work, tracking is lost now and again, its to heavy on the face but there's cheap mods out there for that but now it works as it was intended to.
