Merry Christmas everyone !!
Update price is live feel free to click in collect early to guarantee one !!
Jumped the gun early mate ! Wonder if you can return it and buy discounted JB giftcards to bring it down even more ?
Where to buy discounted gift cards?
Yep, damn. Just have to wear it
I see what you did there.
I purchased the same one but waiting to see what deals come up in BDS before I open it so can return if required. I used the Wish gift cards as well so for the difference not really worth it just yet but getting there. Amazon needs to do a really good deal for us all
You get to play it now/chrissy day…
I think I'd rather pay $20 not to have to venture into (possibly numerous) JB's on boxing day trying to nab one.
Hopefully you used discounted wishcards
Click and Collect will guarantee you get one, Maybe just pick it up later in the day near closing time when it dies off
Click and collect gaurantees zilch. Especially if it's a hot item walking off the shelves. Store will contact you in a few hours to say sorry no stock.
@pw2002au: Buy it on Xmas day the managers arrive early on boxing day and do all the online orders with the software team.. you will be fine. Ex JB employee here and if they do sell out they can order more from Sony if you are willing to wait.
The one in bigW include VR worlds, don't know yet if this one will include that as well or not
Yes it does, link is now live.
Use Coles MC or 28D for shopper's protection.
Ok well I think I’m finally going to bite the bullet and get one
Astrobot is such a cool game. First one in years that actually surprised me and got me excited to play
Definitely recommend if you have a vr
Same as earlier posters, got one from BIG W on Saturday.
I wonder if they serial number match returns, or if I we can play with the one we have on Christmas Day and purchase one from JB and return it to BIG W?
That's a pretty shitty thing to do.
JB definitely doesn't and never seen Big W scan for serials.
That's a lot of stuffing around for the sake of $20.
Petrol, parking fees, braving boxing day crowds, wasted time, you'll come out worse off.
Bought the one that came with 5 extra download games for $100 extra from JB.
Geez what a bargain!
I think i'm finally going to pop at this price. Now i just have to get a ps4 pro to go with it. Anyone know if they will be on sale on boxing day. I wanted to spend about $600 or so on both. But will push it a bit if need be. It'll pair nicely with my new LG C8 oled tv!
Also waiting for Amazon's move about pro. Please Santa, do something.
You'll regret it. Mark my words =)
Luckily I got one from last years amazon Boxing Day sale.
The NAB cashback took longer than expected so the bank gave me an additional $150 credit on top as a gesture of goodwill, so only ended up paying $200 for the PS Pro.
Best ever!
Great price! Pretty much equal with Amazon Black Friday deal ($229 - 10% cashwards)
If Amazon equals this it would be a musty buy for anyone considreing it, but then again the deals/price drop just keep coming for the PSVR.
Looking forward to picking up a cheap 2nd hand copy of Astro Bot in a few weeks.
Wow, that's an incredible deal! I'm picking up Astro Bot from the January sale on PSN for $30.
Great Deal
Anyone knows if it's the V1 or the V2?
I would check when you go instore.
It’s not like and offical bundle, VR Worlds comes with the VR and Astrobot is just added.
Edit - actually it’s uncler if you get VR Worlds but I would assume as all the VRs seem to.
Looks to be the V2 VR Worlds bundle + Astro Bot physical copy.
It’s V2 as it has the inbuilt mic.
More specifically, the mic input is in the base of headset as opposed to being inline on the cable (volume and power control)l of the V1 headset.
V2 has the inbuilt mic (integrated)
Built in mic
Chat to your online friends, discuss in-game tactics and strengthen your immersion in the virtual world with the headset’s integrated microphone.
Price is live now.
Thanks updated post :)
The link has no mention of Astro bot?
Sorry try now i have to link it to bundles page for it to show.
Add both and Astro game gets knocked down to $0.
Amazon has now price matched (without astrobot)
Not really a price match then IMHO.
Does anybody know why this is “V4”? I thought there was only a V1 and V2?
Typo should say V2.
My c&c order gets cancelled straightaway. Anyone else?
mines in progress
Do you need a PS4 Pro to use this, or is it just recommended (vs 'standard' PS4)
Would love to know also?
I use a launch PS4 with mine, works perfectly.
it is just recommended, runs alot better on the pro.
Isn't it just some games look better? The actually VR as in tracking etc. is identical.
Bought it. Finally! After all this time.
Astrobot made me do it
ordered this online last night for pickup tomorrow, great price.
Is this a better deal than the Mega pack with 5 games for $300? I didn't care much for 3 of the games but wanted Wipeout and Astrobot.
5 games would be better if you like the games. I am still happy with this price, so grabbed it.
It's missing Doom, Skyrim and Wipeout. I don't care about Skyrim or Doom, and Wipeout is on US PSN for 70% off at the moment, so I might just get this and buy Wipeout, then wait for a deal on Tetris Effect.
i played skyrim to death same with doom have no interest in re-visting them, cheaper to get this and get wipeout on psn
@Bargaingeek: I think that's what I'll do. I was bummed that I missed out on the Mega Pack but don't need those two games for the same reason as you. I might wait and see if Amazon price matches though, which I prefer over JB because they will do free shipping.
My above comment was wrong, given the current prices for digital
- Skyrim VR $ 30.95
- Doom VR $13.95
- Wipeout $47.95 (wait for it to come on-sale)
You would be better off with this deal, as it includes Worlds and Astrobot already.
Eagle Flight VR is also good value at $15.95
Wipeout on US store is $6 USD if you have PS+ which I do. 10% extra if you don't have it.
I want Tetris effect but it's $40 USD.
Thanks, ordered today it says it also comes with VR worlds, need to add Astro bit to the cart also, but astrobot comes down to $0 during checkout. So great deal.
Ps store has a massive sale on the best of the VR games atm. Highly reccomend getting an aim controlller and getting fair point, doom and fire wall
Eagle flight is entertaining and part of the current sale
anyone try to price match this with EBGAMES ? did they agree and did they include astro bot ?
They're closed today…
Got one for pick up tomorrow, nice deal
I asked regarding the BIG W deal on Friday and EB Gamrs had a change in policy 2 months ago whereby they no longer price match hardware (consoles).
That’s for confirming that’s too bad in the past they price matched me for Xbox one, guess I’ll go ahead with JB
I forgot to add the astrobot during checkout.
Is refund the only way? I choose click n collect, any possibility to just asked them for the free astrobot? In case anyone know
Go into the store and ask them to add it at checkout it easy as to add :)
Is Eagle Flight a game or just a viewing experience? It looks like something that would make me very dizzy.
It is a game with missions, although something is a miss I still found it enjoyable.
Doom on the other hand, I didn’t enjoy
Anyone had any luck getting this deal price matched at other stores or Amazon?
Headset no longer available on JB website.
Yep i can't add the headset online now. Bugger!
I rang up a store asking if they could keep one aside for me to pick up tomorrow. The manager said that it was a today only price. Didnt argue with them will go in tomorrow but guessing they have all had a mega busy day.
That’s very interesting, considering the advertisement said until the 30th, same as BIG W.
Hmm, I didn't buy it yet either, because I assumed I still had a few more days. Wanted to wait and see if Amazon would PM it.
Looks like I'm destined to not buy this thing because I've missed out on a number of PSVR deals now for waiting for a potentially better deal.
There's less reason for Amazon to PM it now.
Yeah I just didn't have the energy to argue today. But tomorrow I will and have the catalogue with me
The catalogue usually runs till the 30th
this deal is over , amazon is back to $300
The deal is still going/valid until the 30th, the problem is finding any stock, hence why Amazon most likely put there price back up (not that they were offering a competitive deal anyway)
store told me price is only valid for today, clearly they aren't communicating things properly with their stores
Just pay for one instore and they will order more from sony
Picked mine up today. Loving it so far. Anyone have recommended games they use to relax? Puzzle games or cool world to discover etc?
Tetris Effect.
Everyone raves about it.
Moss

Beat Sabre
Resident Evil 7, it's a very relaxing game I have found and it does contain puzzles :) .
Indeed. So relaxed you'll soil your pants. 🤣
Just picked up one too. How do most people typically buy games for this? Do you just buy digital or buy physical and just trade/sell when done with the experience?
Picked one up at Woden ACT this morning - they had 4 in stock. Thanks OP!
oh deal still available? no longer on website
No more in WA, but $262 at Sony Australia or $279 at BigW.
Damn just bought this at Big W for $249
