If you have plans to buy a PlayStation VR system soon, wait until Friday. Sony just announced a price drop that kicks in on September 1 that will save you some money, even more money if you like up north in Canada.
Sony is feeling the pressure to make its console-based VR system a better value and reworked the PSVR bundle prices to stay competitive with the lower prices that have hit the PC market in the last few months.
At the end of the week, Sony will introduce a new price structure for both the Core and PSVR Worlds bundles. The company isn’t dropping the price of the PSVR Core bundle, but it said it would sweeten the pot by adding the camera to the package, which effectively amounts to a $59 discount. Sony didn’t add anything to the PSVR Worlds bundle, but the company said it would lower the price by $50 on Friday.
If you live in Canada, the price drop is even more dramatic. Sony’s new pricing structure reflects the stronger Canadian currency and offers Canadian customers bigger discounts. In Canada, the PSVR Core bundle will drop from $549 to $499 (with the camera), and the PSVR Worlds bundle will drop from $699 to $579.
