SONY UNVEILS NEW, CHEAPER PSVR BUNDLE WITH PLAYSTATION CAMERA



Sony is releasing a lowered price version of their Virtual Worlds technology!This bundle will successfully replace the existing $400.00 PlayStation VR package and will become available September 1st of this year. Sony has also cut the price of the PlayStation VR Worlds bundle, which offers the headset, camera, a copy of PlayStation VR Worlds, and two PlayStation Move controllers, by $50. It now costs $450 in the US and $580 in Canada. That bundle will also be available for online and retail store purchases beginning additionally on September 1.

The unit sold more than one million shelf units this June, with over 5 million PlayStation VR enabled titles selling alongside Sony's hardware. Virtual Reality has come a long way from the dark ages of Nintendo's hideous Virtual Boy. Sony and Microsoft are now in direct competition, between the Oculus Rift and Sony's VR Worlds technological package. Dedicated video gamers would remain wise to sample titles from both platforms before investing their hard earned money into a single VR platform. 

However, Microsoft has had more time to perfect its VR hardware, and now the Oculus Rift remains complimented by the Oculus Touch, giving Microsoft's platform a slight competitive advantage. Only time will tell which of these VR platforms will dominate and control the marketplace. One crucial element remains sure, Virtual Reality is here to stay, and it is no longer a throwaway accessory to the experience, but a legit gaming mainstay.
