Gran Turismo Sport is one of the biggest PlayStation VR compatible brands available right now, so it makes sense for Sony to bundle the simulation racer with the hardware. Unfortunately, the functionality is so disappointingly limited that this kinda feels like a bad pack-in – hopefully Polyphony Digital has been paying attention to the positive feedback and is working to expand the scope of its virtual reality support.
Nevertheless, a GT Sport PlayStation VR bundle is heading to North American retail in the coming days. The package will cost you $399.99 in the United States and $499.99 in Canada, and comes with a brand new headset, a PlayStation Camera, a copy of GT Sport, and an “updated version” of the PSVR demo disc, which includes 13 playable games and experiences.
It’s a good deal, because it essentially means you’re getting the new Gran Turismo for free as part of the package. And a little birdie tells us that this bundle will be dropping as low as $299.99 at select retailers on Black Friday, which is the cheapest that PlayStation VR has ever been as far as we’re aware. Time to jump in?

I would buy it, but I do not have the space for VR or else I would've had it awhile ago.
@get2sammyb Speaking of VR bundles, do you think we'll get a Doom VFR aim controller bundle? It's a budget game (£20) so I'm not sure if Sony will use it to push the controller.
Still looking for a aim controller...at this point I'm strongly thinking about picking up the Farpoint bundle from Amazon and trading in the game.
£250 with a game and camera and I will buy one.
@Fight_Teza_Fight Very possible. I know there are some Bravo Team ones appearing for pre-order around Europe.
Does this include the older or newer model headset?
Edit: nevermind it's the older model which doesn't make too much sense
I thought it was a PS4 Slim bundle for $400, which was a really good deal. At $400 its OK, but barely. PSVR has been $299 for months now in Target, and Best Buy had it that price for awhile. Taget has been offering 25% off with Caetwheel, that's $225, and the camera has been $45 almost everywhere. Making you pay $105 for the game.
PS4 Slim will be $199 BF. PSVR will probably be $249 BF, maybe cheaper. On second thought this bundle is bad.
Almost as bad as my $380 Switch Mario bundle. Maybe worse.
Would like to know if this would be the new model PSVR or when we can expect the new model to be available to purchase as very tempted to buy PSVR but waiting for new model
Europe? I'd be all over this.
This is also the updated headset that allows hdr pass through
@Finalstan is already available in curry's for £349
@Toe-knee The one I managed to look up is without the GT game, and looks like the old model. I think you are confusing with PS4 Pro bundle.
@finalstan the one I am meaning is with gt sport the camera and vr worlds. https://www.vrfocus.com/2017/11/new-playstation-vr-model-arrives-in-north-america-and-europe/
@Toe-knee Cheers, so it's coming but not yet available.
