As the nights turned colder and we searched for the warm, sweaty arms of a virtual reality headset to keep our evenings away, HTC set in. Black Friday Deals earlier this year with a week-long offer on their various Vive headphones. Up to £250 can be saved here on all of their Vive headphones including Vive Cosmos and Cosmos Elite kits and their eye tracking Vive Pro Eye.
Two Cosmos headphones are a suitable choice if Valve index is out of your price range and you just can’t stand the idea of being close to Facebook (sorry, Meta) and Oculus Quest 2, but they’re also my least favorite heads of the bunch. Whatever your take on Face-Meta, Quest 2’s hand tracking is much better than Cosmos’, making it a much better choice to play with. VR game like Half-Life-Alyx, especially now Elite Strap Addresses many of my previous concerns about Quest 2 comfort levels.
As such, while I’d love to jump into one of these deals right now, I highly recommend waiting to see if Oculus or Valve have a proper Black Friday week sale to see if you can. get a better deal or not.
Admittedly, Valve dropping the Index price is unlikely. If they were going to do it, it would be in their time Fall Steam Sale. change their tune this year.
A Black Friday deal on Oculus Quest 2 is more likely, although judging by previous years it will likely be very short – Black Friday itself, for example, or they could leave it late. especially on Cyber Monday. There may not be one at all, but we’ll be watching throughout Black Friday to keep you up to date with all the latest. VR headset deals. This will be our number one pick to wait, but we know not everyone wants to stick it with a Facebook account.
So our advice is to pause now, but if you to be died buying a VR headset this year, there’s a way to get the most out of HTC’s Black Friday deals and still get a good VR experience out of it. While we’re not huge fans of Cosmos’ default controller or the older wand-style Vive controller that comes with the Cosmos Elite, the great thing about the Elite is that it’s also compatible with Valve Index Advanced Controller. At £259, they’re still pretty expensive and pretty much all of the savings you’d earn on the Cosmos Elite itself, but it’s still a bit cheaper than buying one. full indexer.
It’s only a small savings, though, so you might think it’s better to just use the whole stat – which makes perfect sense! Hopefully we’ll see some better deals coming in Oculus Quest 2 next week. For all the latest deals, be sure to bookmark our page Black Friday virtual reality headset center.
