It’s finally Black Friday and if you haven’t already spent your entire month’s wages on deals running all week then now might be the time to dive in. While you might already be bored with the annual sales extravaganza, for those interested in getting into virtual reality (VR) now is about the best time to indulge. And to help you out VRFocus has scoured the web for the best deals on all the latest hardware.
Oculus Rift
Just like last year, Black Friday is the best day to buy an Oculus Rift headset. It’s been £399 GBP/$399 USD all year, but for this weekend only its £349/$349. This price is the same wherever you go, whether it’s Oculus.com, Amazon, GAME, John Lewis, or OverclockersUK.
For those bargain hunters after a little more don’t forget that GAME offers reward card points to be used on other purchases, and for US customers there’s the Oculus Referral Programme, where new customers can receive a further 10% discount via a current owner invite.
Additionally, in terms of software, there’s the Black Friday Premium Pack which is valid today only. It comes with Lone Echo, Onward, SUPERHOT VR, The Climb, Arizona Sunshine, GORN and Eleven: Table Tennis VR, all for £7.99
Oculus Go
If your after a headset that’s a little more mobile then Oculus Go is a great way to indulge in VR. Normally £199/$199 for the 32GB version and £249/$249 for the 64GB version, the former is £179/$179 and the latter is £229/$229 via Oculus Store.
Head away from the official store and for UK customers it’s slightly cheaper, with Amazon, Currys/PC World, and Argos selling the 32GB version for £169 and the 64GB version for £219.
Once again, US customers can make use of the Oculus Referral Programme to bag themselves an additional discount.

And let’s not forget about the original mobile head-mounted display (HMD), Samsung Gear VR. There aren’t really many deals going but you can pick up the new version of the headset with the controller from Amazon for £89.90. If you happen to own a Samsung Galaxy S6 or S6 Edge/Edge+ then UK retailer Jessops has some of the older white models for a bargain £19.98.
