£339 might be the bottom value I’ve seen for the Rift S to date, as even its Black Friday deal value solely knocked £50 off its typical value, taking it all the way down to £349.
Indeed, the Rift S isn’t the one factor that Currys have a deal on proper now, as their Ebay retailer can be providing 15% off a whole range of electronics from telephones to cameras and TVs. Alas, there aren’t any PC elements included within the sale, however there are a few different VR headset offers which may take your fancy, because the PRESSPLAY voucher additionally will get you £60 off the HTC Vive Cosmos and Vive Pro.

That’s a decent-ish low cost on the Vive Pro (though it did go all the best way all the way down to £819 over Black Friday), however you’ll be able to truly get the Vive Cosmos for lots much less by hopping over to Scan, the place you may get it for £579 when you use the hyperlink I’ve simply included (it’s a particular e-newsletter hyperlink that solely prompts the low cost whenever you arrive on the web page by way of that URL, you see). That’s additionally cheaper than it was over Black Friday, the place costs dropped to £599.
It’s in all probability additionally the most affordable method of working your method in the direction of an HTC Cosmos Elite as properly, if you consider it, because the £120 you save by shopping for by way of Scan can then be spent on getting the £119 external tracking face plate that places the Elite within the Cosmos Elite’s title. Yes, the standalone face plate has been delayed slightly as a consequence of coronavirus-related manufacturing issues, so you will have to attend some time earlier than you’ll be able to full your supreme VR headset setup, nevertheless it does imply you’re successfully getting a Vive Cosmos Elite for the worth of an everyday Cosmos.
Alas, the Oculus Quest nonetheless stays out of inventory actually in every single place, so there aren’t any offers obtainable on that headset for the time being (though to make use of it together with your PC you’ll need a high-speed USB-C cable), however I’ll hold you up to date as and when it comes again in inventory.
