Virtual reality has come a long way from the bulky hardware of yesteryear, and for Amazon Prime Day, you can step into a new world with this deal on the HTC Vive Pro 2. This model hardly ever gets a discount, but for the next few days, you can save $250 off its regular price and score one for $550. You can also grab a deluxe headstrap to go with this purchase, so that you can enjoy 360-degree realistic sound.

The Prime Day discount puts the HTC Vive Pro 2 roughly on par with the Meta Quest 3, and while there are some drawbacks, overall, this is a powerful alternative to consider for your VR adventures. There’s some powerful hardware inside of the HTC Vive Pro 2, as it offers 5K resolution split across two 2,448 x 2,448 lenses, a refresh rate of 120Hz, and a 120-degree field of vision. The main drawback to this headset is that it’s a tethered model when compared to the wireless design of the Quest 3 and setting it up can take some time, and the controllers are sold separately.

If you’re fine with that–and you’re probably already an advocate for VR gaming–then this headset easily offers a premium experience. If you’re looking to go all in on this model, the HTC Vive Pro 2 Station has also been heavily discounted from $1,400 to $1,000. This includes the headset, high-tech controllers, and base stations to give you 360-degree tracking.
The other VR headset alternatives to consider here are the aforementioned Quest 3–the 128GB wireless model with two controllers has an MSRP of $500–or the PlayStation VR 2 headset and controllers. While this was first designed to work with PS5 consoles, Sony recently announced that it will be releasing a PlayStation VR 2 PC adapter on August 7 at select retailers, priced at $60.
These HTC Vive Pro 2 Prime Day price cuts will only be available for a limited time, so grab them while you can. And don’t forget to check GameSpot’s Prime Day hub to see the latest deals.
