There’s always something so exciting about the first time a big device goes on sale. In this case, Sony’s PlayStation VR2<\/a> has its first deal, dropping from $549 to $509.15 \u2014 a seven percent discount \u2014 right in the middle of October Prime Day<\/a>. Sure, spending over $500 for a headset when the PlayStation 5 is $499<\/a> feels like a lot, but you can put the nearly $40 saved toward an extra game or two.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n

Sony released the PS VR2 in early 2023<\/a>, and it got an 84 in our review<\/a> despite being priced a bit higher than we’d like. For starters, it’s a lot sleeker looking than its predecessor and is very<\/em> comfortable to wear (it uses the same plastic as the PS5’s exterior shell and DualSense controllers<\/a>). The PS VR2 also has eye tracking, and was the first time we saw haptics for your head. The device is solid, with great OLED displays and well-made Sense controllers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The world might not be as enthralled with VR headsets<\/a> as it was a few years ago, but there are still a range of new options on the market. With its current sale, the PS VR2 is close to the same price as Meta’s Quest 3<\/a> but is still far below the $3,499 necessary to buy Apple’s Vision Pro<\/a>. The Quest 3 and Vision Pro are both mixed reality devices, but the PS VR2 is a good option if you only want virtual reality tailored for a console.<\/p>\n
