Score the awesome PlayStation VR headset right now for $199, its lowest price yet

By Lucas Coll April 10, 2018

Although virtual reality hasn’t quite become the worldwide sensation that many predicted it would when the Oculus Rift came onto the scene, the VR market continues to grow steadily as this new technology continues to find its legs and more developers become increasingly familiar with the hardware.

In 2016, Sony unexpectedly threw its hat in the virtual reality ring with its own headset offering: The PlayStation VR. The PSVR launched with a steep price tag of $400, coming in at just a bit cheaper than other high-end virtual reality headsets. This seemed a bit much to some observers considering that Sony’s VR offering had yet to prove itself against the competition and that it was designed to work solely with the PlayStation console rather than a PC.

The PlayStation VR has nonetheless proved itself to be a winner, and even better still, the price has dropped considerably in recent months, making it a seriously enticing option for those looking to jump into the world of virtual reality without having to shell out $400 or more. Gamers seem to agree: In 2017, the PSVR completely overwhelmed the competition, outselling the Oculus Rift by a margin of more than two to one.

If you’re still on the fence about jumping onto the virtual reality bandwagon, then now may be the time to finally pull the trigger: Since the PlayStation VR headset hit the market, the PS4 has built up a great library of virtual reality games for you to enjoy. The beautiful and charming Moss may be our favorite of these, proving not only that the PS4 has great VR chops, but also that virtual reality gaming isn’t limited to first-person ping pong.

At its new low price of $199 from Amazon and Walmart, this is the best deal you’re going to find right now on a name-brand virtual reality headset. You can also grab the

If you've been waiting for a discount on the GoPro Hero 11 Black, check this out -- the action camera is down to $400 from Best Buy, for savings of $100 on its original price of $500. GoPro is still the most trusted name in the action camera space, so we expect this offer to attract a lot of attention and possibly sell out quickly. If you want to get the device for cheaper than usual, you're going to have to proceed with the purchase as soon as you can.

Why you should buy the GoPro Hero 11 Black
The GoPro Hero 11 Black looks very similar to the GoPro Hero 10 Black, which is a pro-consumer move because that means you can keep using accessories from the older model when you upgrade. All of the improvements are under the hood though, including a larger sensor that will let you shoot horizontal and vertical footage at the same time without having to choose between the two formats. The GoPro Hero 11 Black can shoot 5.3K video at up to 60 frames per second, 4K at up to 120 frames per second, and 2.7K at up to 240 frames per second for super slow-motion.
