Sony’s $500 PlayStation VR bundle is now available to pre-order. Anyone hoping to secure themselves the deal can check out Amazon, GameStop and Walmart for availability.
At $500, the launch bundle is significantly more expensive than buying the standalone headset, which will set you back $399, because it comes with the required PlayStation camera, two Move controllers and a PlayStation Worlds game disc preloaded with five games.
New York, meet the world’s tech scene
5,000 Tech leaders are coming to NYC this November to learn and do business. This is your chance to join them.
Sony had not originally planned to let users pre-order the core bundle but in a swift change of mind, it will now be releasing a standalone headset bundle for resale on March 29 at $399. This will be music to the ears of PlayStation fans who already own the peripherals.
While pre-orders are likely to sell out fast, the actual device won’t be shipping until October – just in time for the holidays. Since PlayStation will undoubtedly be hoping to beat out Xbox One in the sales figures again for 2016, I expect to see a mega bundle including games and a console on the table before Christmas.
