Black Friday 2018: Virtual reality deals and discounts

Sony PlayStation VR

Sony

The PlayStation VR by Sony is a virtual reality headset which plugs into the PlayStation 4 games console. It fits somewhere in the middle of the market, with cheaper and less powerful devices run by smartphones - like the Samsung Gear VR - below it, and high-end headsets powered by gaming PCs - like the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive - above.

As such, the PS VR is a compelling option for gamers who already own a PS4 and want to expand their games collection with titles which support VR.
