Why is there a $100 difference between the GT Sport bundle and the Doom VFR bundle?
GT Sport Bundle includes version 1 of the PSVR Headset, Doom VFR bundle includes version 2 of the PSVR headset.
Yeah, wondering the same. $199 sounds too good to be true, I wonder if it is a typo.
I think the Gran Turismo bundle has the 1st generation of the Headset
The GT Sports PSVR bundle includes CUH-ZVR1 while the Doom / Skyrim PSVR bundles include CUH-ZVR2.
The big technical difference is that the CUH-ZVR2 processing unit supports HDR pass-through while the original launch PSVR (CUH-ZVR1) had that oversight. Basically what that meant is if you want to play something supporting HDR you had to use a HDMI splitter or swap cables. If you like HDR, you will want the CUH-ZVR2 (coming with Doom or Skyrim) because both using a HDMI splitter (swapping inputs) and swapping cables can feel inconvenient to the point you use PSVR less.
The other big improvement for CUH-ZVR2 is that it has microphone built in and the headphone can be plugged in directly to the VR headset instead of along the wire connecting it to the processing unit. The way it plugs into the back of the headset and the ear phones it comes with are just much better design where the wires aren’t getting in your way while you play even as you might move around a fair bit.
Not sure what kind of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals were available in the U.S. for the Pro, but I was quite surprised to see it dropped $100 on Black Friday from its normal $499 price here in Canada. Best Buy and EB Games each had it for $399 (about $312 U.S.) with a game included (the new COD with Best Buy and Horizon Zero Dawn with EB Games). I was hoping for a $50 price drop, so a $100 savings was awesome!
The differences V1 and V2 do not justify a $100 difference especially Doom VFR retails at $30 and GT Sport retails at $60. So, it’s actually $130 difference using current retail price.
Move Controllers.
Not to get too pedantic but both versions of the headset have the microphone built-in… but in addition to the HDR passthrough, the newer revision does eliminate the small volume control block, putting the headphone jack, power button, volume up/down, and mic mute on the headset itself. Also removed is the much larger HDMI dual plug-block that is part of the cord connecting to the headset to the main “mini PS4” breakout box. So, this will be a much lighter cord to deal with and will be more comfortable when standing, I imagine.
From my research only Skyrim VR will come with the 2nd generation CR headset not GT sport or doom and only Skyrim bundle will have the 2 move controllers the other 2 bundles only have the 1st generation headset and the camera and game. Hope to clears everything up.
