If you've been waiting on a big price decrease before you copped one of Sony's PlayStation VR2 headsets, then your time has finally come.
Unfortunately if you're not currently residing within the United Kingdom, you may have to wait a bit longer.
Smyths Toys Superstores is currently selling the PlayStation VR2 headset for £329.99, a whopping £200 decrease from its recommended retail price of £529.99. There isn't any word on how long the sale will last for, so jump on the deal quickly if you're keen to grab one.
They don't deliver internationally though, so anyone outside of Britain and Ireland is going to have to track one down elsewhere.
Advert
For those unaware, it should be noted that the VR2 is only compatible with the PlayStation 5 and PCs.
You should probably also make sure you're not planning to play any of the original PlayStation VR games on it as well, as the VR2 is not backwards compatible with any of its titles. You may however likely own both the VR and VR2 versions of several titles if you've purchased them digitally.
As for why the VR2 is seeing such a massive price cut, it's almost definitely got something to do with Android Central's report last month that Sony is cutting back on development of further VR2 titles.
According several of their sources, Android Central confirmed that Sony is "making deep cuts to funding for VR games" and that only two VR2 games are currently still in development.
This follows on from another report by Bloomberg back in March that Sony had paused production on any further VR2 headsets, after already manufacturing roughly 2 million units.
That being said, it's not exactly like you'd be short on titles to play even if Sony only plans on releasing two more VR2 compatible games. There are currently 301 games available for the system, so you'll at least be able to get your moneys worth.
