PSVR 2 gets its first discount on Prime Day - just as Meta Quest 3 hits the shelves
October 10 2023 is a busy day for VR enthusiasts. Not only does the hotly anticipated Meta Quest 3 launch today but with Prime Day running at the same time, there's a slew of VR accessories to be had for cheaper if you already own a headset.
As if that wasn't enough, PSVR 2, which launched in February, has finally seen its first major discount in the US thanks to Prime Day. Down from its price of $549.99 in the US, it's now only $509.15 at Amazon. This discount also stands in the UK, where it's down from £529.99 to £513.66 at Amazon.
Annoyingly, the Horizon bundle is not discounted, but seeing as the higher-spec 512GB model of the Quest 3 costs $649.99 / £619.99, you're getting a bit of a bargain here if you already own a PS5. Perhaps more comparably, the dinkier 128GB Quest 3 costs $499.99 / £479.99, so if you were torn on which device to go for before today, this deal makes things a lot harder.
In our Meta Quest 3 review, I found that while it's a great headset that builds upon the legacy of the Quest 2, I do think PSVR2 actually offers a higher-end VR gaming experience thanks to its superior controllers, OLED display, and next-gen eye-tracking. So in our eyes, the best VR headset for gaming overall is still PlayStation's.

Save $40 - This is the first time I've seen PSVR 2 go on sale since its launch in February. According to the price history data I'm seeing, the only previous discounts have been by a measly $0.99, so this is your first true chance to get the headset for a bit cheaper.
Buy it if:
✅ You want the best all-round VR headset for gaming
✅ You play lots of games on PlayStation anyway
✅ You want high-end VR features
Don't buy it if:
❌ You don't own a PS5
