Black Friday may have ended but one of its best video game deals is hanging on for the holiday season. The deal in question is a PlayStation VR 2 bundle that comes with the immersive action-adventure game, Horizon Call of the Mountain, at only $349 at Amazon. While that is obviously a decent chunk of cash, it’s the cheapest the VR unit has been since launch with a discount of $250 applied.
You can also find this bundle available for $350 at Best Buy and PlayStation Direct, if you have a preference of retailer.
You’ll need a PS5 console to use the PSVR 2 headset, but thankfully they’ve also received some price drops. A PS5 Slim can be yours for $374 right now. PSVR 2 features heightened Sense technology with eye tracking, 3D audio, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers and touch detection. Its enhanced eye tracking and haptics set it apart from the Quest headset, although Meta’s system can be standalone and is more versatile.

Sony hasn’t been amazing at supporting its PSVR 2 headset with first-party titles, but there are plenty of third-party games to play. Additionally, you can pick up an adapter to use it on a PC. All in all, it makes for a great gift this holiday season. And for $350, this is a sizable drop in price compared to when it launched.
Why this deal matters
Investing in the PSVR 2 ecosystem can be incredibly expensive when you account for the usual price of the headset and the console itself. Because of this, we usually recommend getting a Meta Quest if you’re interested in getting into VR gaming. This discount saves you hundreds and brings the price down so much that the difference is negligible if you already have a PS5.
