I’m finally getting a VR headset this year, but I’m holding out for Black Friday deals. I’m looking at the HTC Vive Pro 2, PSVR 2, and Meta Quest Pro, but I haven’t decided yet. Do these headsets typically get big discounts during Black Friday? Would love to hear your thoughts!
They might do a sale on the Quest Pro to clear inventory, but I wouldn’t expect anything massive. Black Friday can be hit or miss with tech.
Good to know! I’ll keep an eye out, but maybe I shouldn’t get my hopes up too much.
If money isn’t a huge issue, you might want to wait for a sale and go for a Quest 3 or something with pancake lenses. Avoid older models with Fresnel lenses—they’re just not as good, especially for peripheral vision.
What’s the deal with pancake vs. Fresnel lenses? Is it really that big of a difference?
Totally! With pancake lenses, you can move your eyes more naturally, whereas Fresnel lenses make you turn your head more because the sweet spot is smaller. Pancake lenses are way more comfortable for long sessions.
Got it, makes sense. I’ll definitely take that into account. Thanks!
Have you tried the PSVR2? I have both the Quest 3 and PSVR2, and the colors and blacks on the PSVR2 are amazing. It’s way better for PC games if you care about visuals.
I haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve heard great things about the PSVR2. Might have to check it out!
If you’re looking for a PCVR headset, go with PSVR2. It’s easier to set up and has better colors and contrast compared to the Quest. But yeah, wait for Black Friday just in case there’s a sale.
Not sure about the Vive Pro 2 getting a discount, but I’d definitely wait for Black Friday if you can. No harm in waiting a few weeks to see what deals pop up!
True, waiting a bit longer won’t hurt. Fingers crossed for some good deals!
