Best Cyber Monday VR Deals 2019: Oculus Quest, HTC Vive, PSVR

Yes, Black Friday is behind us, but that doesn't mean you're out of luck on deals, especially when it comes to VR headsets. Cyber Monday is still ahead of us, which means many of the sales are still holding strong. And with Valve announcing Half-Life: Alyx for next year, there's never been a better time to jump into VR. Cyber Monday has deals on quite a few headsets that are compatible with Half-Life: Alyx, including the Oculus Quest, Oculus Rift S, and HTC Vive Pro. Of course, there are also some great deals on PlayStation VR--though Half-Life: Alyx has not been announced for PSVR.

In fact, no matter what you're looking for in VR, you're going to find a deal. Whether you're looking for the wireless Oculus Quest, the high-end HTC Vive Pro, or even the VR media headset Oculus Go, there are deals for everyone. The only VR headset that hasn't received a discount is Valve's Index, though Index owners do get Half-Life: Alyx for free once it releases in March 2020.

Oculus's Cyber Monday deals were announced last week, while Walmart's Cyber Monday offerings and GameStop's Cyber Monday sale both offer some excellent options for discounted VR.
