Is there still a market for PlayStation’s first venture into the world of virtual reality? Possibly! With PlayStation VR 2 not having backward compatibility with the original PSVR library, Cyber Monday is a great time to grab the legacy headset and do some VR games preservation of your own. Sure, it’s a more cumbersome device than the Meta Quest or the HTC Vive, but at its current price, it’s not a bad way to check out VR for the first time.

At Amazon-affiliated company Woot, you can grab the original PSVR headset for $65, but you’ll also need to make certain that you have some other hardware to go with that purchase. If you’re planning to play on PS4, you’ll need the PS4 camera that is $40 at Woot ($30 for a refurbished model); On PS5, you’ll need the camera and the PSVR camera adapter. You can snag an adapter for only $12 at Amazon during Cyber Monday.
As a reminder, you can play PSVR games with the PS4 DualShock controller you probably already own. Alternatively, you can you use PlayStation’s Move motion controllers, which are available brand-new at Amazon for $49 or in refurbished condition for $40.
If you’re into video game history and collecting, there might be some value here with the PSVR. Maybe a mint-in-box PlayStation Camera will put your kids through college when there’s an unpredictable spike in interest? We’re definitely not financial experts, but anything is possible in this wonderfully weird universe.
Alternatively, the much pricier PlayStation VR 2 headset is also available. This is better-designed piece of hardware in comparison, and it only has a single cable connecting it to your PS5. It comes with the impressive Sense controllers, peripherals that take design cues from the DualSense controllers, and its library is already fairly impressive.
For a standalone experience, the Meta Quest 2 is still hard to beat. Currently, you can buy the 128GB Meta Quest 2 for $249 or the 256GB Meta Quest 2 for $299, and you’ll also get a free $50 Amazon gift card with your purchase.
