If you’re someone who’s been skeptically holding off on purchasing a virtual reality setup for games like Beat Saber and even more version of Bethesda’s biggest series, this year’s Amazon Prime Day event might have enough discounts to get you to take the plunge. Both the HTC Vive Pro Starter Kit and two different versions of the Oculus Go headset are on sale for varying amounts, sometimes as much as 20% off of their usual price. At least one of these offers is a Lightning Deal though, so it’s not going to be live for much longer.

The HTC Vive Pro Starter Kit usually goes for over $1,000, so any kind of a discount on that bundle that knocks a few hundred dollars off is one worth paying attention to. The deal that Amazon is featuring during its Prime Day sale marks it down to $899 which isn’t a bad deal compared to the $1,099 that it’s sold at if you’re not a Prime member. You can find that listing linked below along with details on what’s included in the kit if you’re interested.

If you’re looking for an option that’s a bit less involved and has no wires at all, the Oculus Go might be a better fit for you. Two different versions of the standalone VR headset are on sale, one of them boasting 32GB of storage and the other doubling that at 64GB. Their specs are the same aside from the storage, but the prices and availability of the deals differ. The 32GB device seen here is available for $159 and is a Lightning Deal which means it won’t be that price for too much longer, and you can find the $209 64GB version linked below along with details on the headset.
