Sony drops PlayStation VR price to just under $300 for lowest-price option

Immersing yourself in Sony PlayStation's virtual reality games and experiences is going to cost less starting Thursday. The video game maker is cutting the price of its PlayStation VR systems by $100, which brings the cost down to $299.99 for the game maker's virtual reality headset that comes with the Doom VFR game. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim bundle, will now be priced $100 lower at $349.99. While some say consumer interest in virtual reality has slowed, Sony has sold more than two million of its PlayStation VR system since it debuted in October 2016. Consumer purchases of video game consoles historically see an uptick with a price decline and certainly Sony is hoping for the same with its VR system, which works with the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Pro consoles.
