If you're anything like me, you've been dying to get your hands on Gran Turismo 7 since PSVR 2 launched.
I've always been a fan of the franchise, but lukewarm reviews when it released last year meant a full-price spend wasn't exactly appealing. When I reviewed PSVR 2 earlier this year though, I was so happy to see the latest installment of my favourite racing game get a whole new lease of life thanks to its VR port.
Annoyingly, it's been nigh-on impossible to find GT7 for anything other than full price in the UK ever since. Thanks to the ridiculous number of great games we've seen in 2023, as well as a cost-of-living crisis, GT7 has continued to seem a bit expensive for me to justify. That is, until now. Thanks to a new Black Friday bundle from Currys, you can get PSVR 2 and Gran Turismo 7 for only £559. That's amazing - and one of the best PSVR 2 deals I've seen since the headset launched.
I'm so excited for people who are yet to buy themselves a PSVR 2, because this Black Friday VR headset deal is everything I've been hunting for in a lot of ways. One disappointing thing about PSVR 2's first year on the shelves has been the glaring lack of bundles on offer, especially when you compare it to the first PlayStation VR.
While I'm excited for you, I might just roll up in a ball and cry because finding the PS5 version of GT7 for the £20 you get it for in this deal is otherwise impossible - especially since you're getting one of the consensus best PSVR 2 games available.
If anyone getting this bundle wants PSVR 2 but already has Gran Turismo, feel free to send me the copy of the game you'll get in this bundle as a finder's fee. You can contact me at saltyhardwarereviewercantaffordgames@gmail.com for shipping details.
Editor's note: This bundle still seems to be available after Black Friday's official end. It isn't clear how long this price will stick around for though, so act fast if you want to make the most of it.
In so many ways, this bundle is even better than the Horizon Call of the Mountain one, which is also on offer for £549 at Amazon. Gran Turismo 7 has the benefit of being a non-VR game at the same time, so you don't need to play it in VR if you start feeling motion-sick or just can't be bothered setting up one of the best PS5 steering wheels.
Of course, if you aren't bothered about Horizon Call of the Mountain, and you already have Gran Turismo 7, you might be interested to know that you can get PSVR 2 on its own for cheaper at the moment too.
Should you buy PSVR 2 this Black Friday?
Whether you go for the Gran Turismo 7 bundle (and make me extremely jealous), the Horizon bundle, or PSVR 2 on its own, you're bagging yourself the bit of tech that won the Golden Joystick award for Gaming Hardware of the Year. In fact, we deem it the overall best VR headset for gaming on the market because of its innovative features. Its OLED display alone is unlike any other VR headset, and its haptic feedback is such a great way to ground you in an experience.
The Meta Quest 3 certainly comes close, but we'd recommend that more if you don't already have a PS5, and want to make the most of mixed-reality features. Of course, if you have a gaming PC that's VR-ready, there are other PC VR options out there, and you can find all the best deals in our roundup of Black Friday VR headset deals. Even when we squared up PSVR 2 vs HTC Vive Pro 2 however, Sony's option still came out on top.
