PlayStation VR Release Date News: Sony Announces Bundle Pre Orders To Start Next Week

After announcing the PlayStation VR release date and price Sony has revealed that pre-orders for the PS VR bundle will start early next week.

Starting at 7:00 a.m. PT on Tuesday, March 22nd, pre-orders will open for the PlayStation VR Launch Bundle at participating retailers. According to the PlayStation Blog, the bundle is exclusively for pre-sale and in limited quantities. All contents of the PS VR core bundle include:

• PS VR headset
• PS VR cables
• Stereo Headphones
• PlayStation VR Demo Disc
• PlayStation Camera
• 2 PlayStation Move motion controllers
• PlayStation VR Worlds

As IGN reports, the bundle applies only to gamers in the U.S. and Canada. There's another catch, as well. The pre-order offer only applies to a $499 bundle, not the stock $399 PlayStation VR headset shown at GDC 2016.

Pre-orders will be limited. Sony says it will "have another wave in the summer." Meanwhile, you can expect to receive the bundle on the PS VR launch date, which is slated for sometime in October.
