So...

I'm thinking of dipping my toes into VR infested waters. I saw the Amazon deal above but as far as I can see GAME (of all places bizarrely...) seem to have the best deal of the headset, 2 move controllers and Skyrim for £299. Insert obvious rimming joke here (Thanks to More heat than light for the help!)

Anyone found anything better out there?

That's actually a pretty cracking deal. I thought maybe the gotcha was that it didn't include the camera, but it has that as well.

VR Worlds is utter guff though, nothing more than a demo disc.

Batman: Arkham Knight (PS4) is £12.39 at Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00IS6S7SU/ ... dAbP8AWB3F

If you're one for phone contracts, if you take out a 36 month contract on a Sony Xperia XZ with Virgin for £19 a month (£684), they'll throw in a copy of FIFA 18 and a PS4: http://store.virginmedia.com/virgin-med ... riffs.html

Sony themselves now have this deal, no Move Controllers though.

Not available in a 50 mile radius of me. :( None of these Curry PS4 Pro bundles appear to be anywhere.

Old unfortunately. I refuse to keep swapping over cables and still feel vr is a but of a novelty at the moment. Great deal for those with a non hdr tv set or content with standard ps4 and 1080p.

Just get a HDR compatible HDMI switch and an extra HDMI cable. Job done.

Bought one of the following and it seems to be working at the moment, £12.99 isn't too bad...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/HUIERAV-Switch ... B06VVM9312

You have to manually switch the switch on the box to swap between the outputs and it will obviously take up two HDMI slots on your TV, but its worked for me so far (although I will admit it seemed to cut out a couple of times when passing through HDR the other day, not sure if that was down to my TV though).

Got a feeling that code for the original Dishonored isn't valid any more. Still an amazing deal.
