The PlayStation VR2 is now available in the United States at a discounted price of $350, marking an all-time low.
At a staggering 64% discount, this $200 deal represents an unprecedented bargain for a product normally valued at $550, making it the lowest price point we’ve ever witnessed in any market.
The affordable price point is accessible through a direct purchase from PlayStation as well as major retailers including Best Buy, Target, Walmart, and GameStop.
The incident occurs just days after a similar phenomenon was reported in the UK. The UK sale remains vibrant, with a few retailers still offering stock despite initial sell-outs.
The duration of this sale remains uncertain, lacking an official Sony declaration; neither have participating retailers specified a concluding date. While some retailers may label this offer as a limited-time deal, in reality, it’s just a one-time price reduction, rather than a permanent discount.
Has PlayStation VR2 Hit Rock Bottom After Just One Year, or is Sony Just Laying the Foundation for Success?
As PlayStation VR2 marks its one-year milestone, a journey of innovation and immersion begins anew. However was it successful? And what’s coming subsequent?
We previously advised considering the purchase of a PlayStation VR2 for PS5, due to the uncertainty surrounding Sony’s commitment to the platform.
While the PSVR 2 launched with a robust lineup featuring prominent titles such as Horizon: Forbidden West, Gran Turismo 7, and Resident Evil Village, Sony has yet to deliver comparable momentum since its debut. To commemorate its inaugural year on the market in February, Sony refrained from unveiling fresh first-party or major third-party video game titles for PSVR 2, opting instead to drop a bombshell by revealing the long-rumored PC adapter in an unexpected move.
A number of weeks after the anniversary Sony shut down the developer of unique PSVR blockbuster Blood & Reality and laid off workers within the studios behind Horizon Name Of The Mountain. According to reports by Bloomberg in March, Sony had temporarily halted production of its PSVR 2 headset to address a surplus of unsold units.
While PSVR 2 does offer a range of impressive features, it’s worth noting that the console is missing some of the most iconic PSVR titles, including Skyrim VR, Minecraft, and Star Wars: Squadrons, which were major draws for many gamers.
PLAYSTATION VR2: REVOLUTIONIZING VIRTUAL REALITY GAMING FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF PLAYSTERS
The PlayStation VR2 ushers in a new era for console-based virtual reality on the powerful PS5 platform. We’ve had the opportunity to put Sony’s new headset through its paces over the past week, so how does it stack up? Here’s our in-depth review of PSVR 2. After a long period of anticipation, PSVR2 has finally arrived and promises to revolutionize the world of virtual reality gaming once again.
Despite the uncertainty, several major third-party titles have been confirmed to arrive on PSVR2 by year’s end, including Alien: Rogue Incursion and Metro Awakening. If you’re considering the PSVR 2 as your inaugural foray into virtual reality, you’ll find an impressive array of critically acclaimed indie VR titles from the past decade readily available on the PlayStation Store.
One additional factor that may prompt a change of heart is the potential to use your console on a PC, made possible by the impending release of a $60 adapter. While there may be concerns about the lack of reviews on the adapter, those willing to take a calculated risk can find an unparalleled value in purchasing PSVR 2 for $350.
Sony will closely monitor the performance of PSVR 2 at this price point, which could influence its pricing approach for future headsets and inform decisions on its overall strategy.
