Miss out on Sony’s various Black Friday 2017 deals? Not a problem: the platform holder’s looking to kill it this Christmas with another round of attractive offers for both the PlayStation 4 Pro and PlayStation VR. Starting from 10th December in the United States through 16th December for the PS4 Pro and 24th December for PSVR, the manufacturer will be plunging the prices of both products – with some serious savings in store.
First up the PlayStation VR bundles: you’ll be able to get a headset alongside Gran Turismo Sport for $199.99, which is seriously low. As far as we understand, this is the launch model without HDR passthrough, but if your 4K television demands that then the DOOM VFR bundle will be $299.99 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim bundle will be $349.99.
Elsewhere, if you’re in the market for a PS4 Pro, then Sony’s knocking $50 off all bundles, with the standard 1TB Jet Black model down to $349.99, and the Limited Edition Destiny 2 and Star Wars Battlefront 2 sets hitting $399.99. There’s no word on the PS4 Slim dropping to $199.99 like on Black Friday 2017, but don’t rule out more potential savings prior to Christmas.

Any word of this coming to the UK? Been considering VR for a while now and that £199 bundle would be very tempting indeed.
(naturally I'm assuming the $ will just get swapped for £ as usual, though we'd at least have tax included, of course)
Very tempting for the VR. However, I think I will be going with the Switch.
I keep telling myself I don't need this but that's a GREAT deal!!!
If anyone wants a PSVR for a good price keep an eye on Amazon Wharehouse deals. Recently Amazon Italy were doing PSVR for £167.
@Neolit I like the PSVR don't get me wrong. It's just something I couldn't see myself using very often. I do a lot of travelling and the Switch just suits my needs better.
@PaperyWhiteBoy UK seems to be getting deals all the time TBH. Much more retailer specific. Amazon have PSVR and PS4 Slim on sale right now I believe.
I already bought a ps4 pro a month ago.so I'm happy.I got 10 ps4 games.and 1 ps vita game.and I'm still playing ps3 games.I got 77 ps3 games to beat and I'm still buying more ps3 games word up son
If I can get a PSVR anywhere near 200 I'll snap it up
@Neolit I kinda wanted to try it but dunno if I'm going to get time.
Played the switch when mates brought it over but at the end of the day it just felt like deja vu from snes/n64/3ds days except nicer gfx. Personally PSVR has blown me away and the experience gaming super exciting! Those prices look tasty!
@Neolit Farpoint addon is out and a lot of fun.
I’d be tempted to upgrade from a PS4 to a Pro...
Prolly wont get any cheaper but still hesitant to get a VR headset. No one here has one so I havent tried it.
This is a great UK deal.

I've said a million times that I'd finally purchase a PS4, but never did due to other financial obligations (school, rent, laptop, etc). I'm hoping to finally pick one up next summer. I'll consider getting the pro if hits that $350 price next summer. Gonna have a HUGE backlog of PS4 games to pick up!
Just wondering if the GT Sport bundle is confirmed with the first gen headset? I don't see that need in the blog anywhere.
@wiggleronacid If you're lucky Sony might bring back the $200 1TB PS4 Slim sale later this month.
Hnngg... that's still pretty pricey for VR, especially with a lot of reviews of VR games either ending with "this was great for the 90 minutes it lasted" or "this was a confusing mess"... however, there's been plenty of my favourite franchises with something to offer in VR (Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman and Tomb Raider to name a few).
Can anybody hands-down recommend VR for somebody who mostly enjoys cinematic single player games?
@ToddlerNaruto
There was no 1tb PS4 sale in Europe. That is a great deal.
@Mart1ndo_ Sorry to hear about that, I just assumed it wasn't U.S. exclusive.
