2018 Black Friday Virtual Reality Deals You Should Not Miss

Virtual reality handsets are a great source of entertainment and people have been reluctant to buy them because of their high price. This Black Friday, i.e., 23^rd November will witness significant price drops and discounts for a variety of products including VR headsets and games. Brands like Oculus, HTC, Samsung, and Google will be listing their releases of this season and will be available to consumers through Amazon, Walmart, and other online and offline stores.

Oculus Rift VR Headset

The Oculus Rift bundle was released in 2016 and had a price of 800$ during that time. Last year it was available for 599$ without the touch controllers.

Oculus Rift + Touch VR headset for $349 at Best Buy

Sony PlayStation VR Headset

The Sony PlayStation VR is a headset which is directly connected to the console of PS4 games. It is a medium priced product and is a great option for those who already have a PS4 and want to have a different gaming experience. We recommend you to buy VR bundles which will contain 1 or 2 games along with the VR rather than going for the VR alone as the bundles will have better discounts.

The Sony VR bundle which includes Sony PlayStation VR and two games (Moss Bundle + Astro bot rescue mission) currently costs about 299$ in Amazon. The VR alone costs 215$ and is expected to have a price drop up to 164$

Walmart will have a price drop of 100$, and the VR will be available at 199$. The product will be available online from November 22, 12 am and in stores at the 5 pm local time.

The product’s cost was $399 and has gone down to 300$ in online stores.

The Mirage camera is also getting a slash of 100$, the present cost being $200

The deal will be available in the official website Lenovo.com and will extend to official retail partners Walmart, Amazon and Best Buy.

HTC Vive Headset

The HTC Vive is one of the expensive VR sets in the market and will run on PCs with an average spec condition. The product package consists of 2 base stations and two wireless controllers along with the headset. We cannot expect much of a deal for this product as it recently had a price drop of $100 and the revised cost was $499.

The HTC Vive will be available on top stores like Walmart, Target and Best Buy. The subscribers of Viveport will be able to subscribe to any of the five games (Accounting+, Arizona Sunshine, Superhot VR, Sairento VR, and The Wizards) for just $1 which otherwise will cost $120.
