And, feeling the festive spirit, Amazon UK is selling the PSVR starter kit plus one full game - which includes the headset, PlayStation Camera, all the cables and the PlayStation VR Worlds game and Astro Bot: Rescue Mission - for a very tempting £179.99 (though it looks popular as they're running low on stock, but the price is remaining the same).

Immerse yourself into PlayStation Virtual Reality's worlds with this great deal from Amazon UK, kicking off your VR experience. Comes with all the kit, PSVR Worlds, and Astro Bot on disc.

PSVR is one of the most accessible ways to experience virtual reality worlds, and is, of course, perfect for those who already own a PS4 or PS4 Pro. The game library is ever-expanding and now includes some extraordinary AAA title to experience such as Skyrim VR and Doom VFR. However, the system also offers some original ways to incorporate multiple players through games - just in time for Christmas - such as the team based and panic-inducing Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes bomb disposal game.

However, it doesn't stop there: if you don't want Astro Bot Amazon UK are the PSVR starter pack on its own for £179.99 (seemingly low on stock but the price will stay the same for those ordering now), and over at Very, you can grab the PSVR Mega Pack (the starter pack hardware plus five whole games) for £209.99. All of these are great ways to begin your PSVR adventure. If none of these are for you, check out the best PlayStation VR bundles right now.
