FULL STORY
======================================================================Sony 
has announced a permanent PSVR 2 price cut The headset will now cost $399.99 
/ 399.99 down from $549.99 / 529.99 The Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle 
will also be that same price, down from $599.99 / 569.99 

If you were one of the many PlayStation gamers interested in virtual reality 
(VR) but put off the PSVR 2 by its almost absurdly high $549.99 / 529.99 
price tag, then you're in for a treat. 

Sony has announced a new, permanent PSVR 2 price cut taking its retail price 
all the way down to $399.99 / 399.99 - a mega $150 / 130 discount and close 
to the massive savings that we saw over the latest Black Friday sales period. 

If that wasn't good enough, the PSVR 2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle 
(which previously cost $599.99 / 569.99) will also be available for that 
$399.99 / 399.99 price and includes a copy of the Horizon Call of the 
Mountain game. This honestly sounds like pretty incredible value, especially 
when you consider the recent release of the PSVR 2 PC Adaptor, which further 
increases the high spec headset's utility by letting you use it with your PC. 

At this price point, the PSVR 2 will be significantly cheaper than the 128GB 
Meta Quest 3 , which comes in at $499.99 / 469.99 and a good middle point 
between it and the $299.99 / 289.99 price tag of the more budget-oriented 
Meta Quest 3S . 

Although the PSVR 2 hasn't grabbed PlayStation gamers' attention in the way 
Sony may have wanted, if it had originally launched at this price I think 
that it would have been a much more popular pick. It still ranks among the 
best VR headsets right now thanks to stellar performance, so this is a great 
excuse to take the plunge if you've been on the fence. 

According to Sony, the price cut will roll out in March - so expect to see 
listings updated by the beginning of next week. You might also like... PS5
