My Favorite Amazon Deal of the Day: PlayStation VR2
The PlayStation VR2 was expensive when it launched in early 2023, and it’s still expensive today. But you can save $100 off its $549.99 price at Amazon , Walmart , or Best Buy , bringing the current $449 price down to its lowest level since its release. The deal will take place during Sony’s Days of Play sale , where you can also find the PlayStation 5 widely available for $449.99 , among other PlayStation deals.
PlayStation VR2 is exactly what it sounds like: a VR headset for your PS5. This is the second version of PlayStation VR with big upgrades that justify the $150 price increase, including an improved HDR OLED screen with a resolution of 2000 by 2040, a 110° field of view (that’s 10° more than VR1), and see-through viewing. technology that lets you see the gaming area (without breaking your TV), and vastly improved PSVR 2 Sense controllers with haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that make your games more immersive (the headset also vibrates). Setup is also much easier: just connect a USBC cable to the console. IGN gave the headset an “amazing” score of 9 out of 10 in its review .
However, this is not ideal. One of the biggest disappointments is the lack of backward compatibility with the original PlayStation VR, meaning you’ll have to buy the same games again to play them on PlayStation VR2.
Sony is gradually releasing more games compatible with the VR2 headset. There is a good selection of games available now, with more to come.
