The PlayStation VR is one of the cheapest ways to get into virtual reality, and it has tons of exclusive games that you can’t play on other headsets. Of course, you’ll also need a PlayStation 4 to connect to the headset, and we found great Black Friday deals that will have you ready to play both in and out of virtual reality.
Target is currently selling a Buy at Target , which comes with a PlayStation VR headset, camera, demo disc, and vouchers for five games: Astro Bot Rescue Mission, Everybody’s Golf VR, PlayStation VR Worlds, Skyrim VR, and Resident Evil 7. That last title can also be played on a traditional display, with its VR mode giving you even more immersive horror gameplay.
PlayStation VR gives you a chance to truly explore your favorite game worlds, making you feel like you’re a part of them rather than an observer. Skyrim VR lets you experience the entirety of the role-playing game in VR, and PlayStation VR Worlds is a great introduction to what the technology can offer.
You’ll need a PlayStation 4 in order to use PlayStation VR, and you can still find the special “ Buy at GameStop ” bundle for $200. You can check your local retailers to see if it is available for local pickup, including from Best Buy. This console bundle includes the system itself and a controller, as well as the games God of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn, and The Last of Us: Remastered. These are three of the best games of the generation, PS4 or otherwise, and they’re all long enough to take up a huge amount of your time during the holiday season. Playing The Last of Us: Remastered will have you ready to experience The Last of Us: Part II in 2020, as well.
With the savings you’ll get through these deals, you might have extra cash left over that you can spend on even more PlayStation gear. There are a ton of great PlayStation Black Friday deals still going on right now, offering savings on everything from the biggest games to controllers and accessories. Be sure to check back on Cyber Monday to see what new deals are available, as well!
Acer’s Predator Atlas 8 finally has a US release date and price, several months after the company first showed off the handheld in May. The highlight is the Intel Arc G3 Extreme chip inside, which has been adopted by only a couple of other consoles besides the Atlas 8. This version will go on sale exclusively at Best Buy on November 1 for $1,299.99.
Acer originally said the Atlas 8 would arrive in North America in October, but left pricing open at the time. The launch came amid the ongoing DRAM crunch, which has made memory more expensive across the PC industry and complicated pricing for hardware makers.
Gaming laptops and I have a complicated relationship. One of my first gaming rigs was an Acer Predator that was already outdated when I bought it. I was a broke college kid, and that was the best I could afford. So trying out high-end gaming laptops is always fun. But ASUS' ROG Zephyrus G14 is a lot more than a laptop that can run AAA games. It is portable, so you're not lugging around a 2.5kg machine everywhere you go. It is built well, none of that plastic chassis, and can even function as a normal laptop outside of just gaming.
Google Play is borrowing one of the Nintendo Switch’s most useful little tricks. A new Sidekick tool called Playbacks captures a short clip after something interesting has already happened, sparing players from running a screen recorder throughout an entire game.
Playbacks is part of Google Play Store v53.8 and keeps saved clips on the phone. Google first announced it earlier this month, but the new Play Store update marks its arrival for players. Anyone who has watched a perfect win vanish because the record button came too late already understands the appeal.
