Best VR Deals For December 2019: Oculus Quest Backorders, Half-Life: Alyx-Compatible Headsets

Black Friday had some fantastic VR deals, and with Half-Life: Alyx releasing next year, interest in virtual reality has spiked. Thankfully, the deals haven't stopped with Black Friday, as several headsets have received some pretty awesome discounts and special bundles. If you didn't get a chance to jump on a headset during Black Friday, then these VR deals are your best bet.

One of the marquee VR deals going on right now is for the all-in-one Oculus Quest, which proved so popular during Black Friday that it's sold out nearly everywhere. However, if you can find an Oculus Quest before January 31, you'll get all three episodes of Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series as long as you activate your headset within 30 days of purchasing it. Thankfully, Amazon will have more stock on December 26.

Oculus Quest (64GB/128GB) with Vader Immortal | $400/$500

Available for backorder; compatible with Half-Life: Alyx

The Oculus Quest doesn't need to connect to a PC, which gives you full freedom to move within your designated space. However, if you're interested in plugging it into a PC, Oculus recently introduced Oculus Link, which lets you connect your Quest to a PC with a high-quality USB 3.0 cable. And yes, that means it's compatible with Half-Life: Alyx.


You can see all of the best VR deals below. We know there's interest in Half-Life: Alyx, so we've made a note of pointing out which ones will be ready to go for its March release date.

VR deals and discounts

Samsung HMD Odyssey+ | $229 ($500)

Compatible with Half-Life: Alyx

The Samsung HMD Odyssey+ is a great headset, especially at this price. As far as Windows Mixed Reality headsets go, this is the best one. You get two free months of Viveport Infinity, a VR game subscription service, with your purchase, and there's also a huge library of compatible games on Steam, including the upcoming Half-Life: Alyx. Amazon has it discounted to $229.

HTC Cosmos with 6-months of Viveport Infinity | $599 ($700)

Compatible with Half-Life: Alyx

HTC debuted its first headset with inside-out tracking earlier this year, and Walmart has the headset for $100 off. It's not as great as GameStop's Black Friday deal, but it's a deal worth considering if you want an HTC headset but don't want to deal with sensors. Unlike the all-in-one Quest, however, the Cosmos needs to be connected to a PC.

Oculus Rift S + free game | $399

Compatible with Half-Life: Alyx

The Rift S isn't discounted at the moment, but Oculus recently announced that if you purchase a Rift S prior to December 15, you'll get the excellent Asgard's Wrath. If you want to jump in before Half-Life: Alyx, the Rift S is compatible. It's also compatible with all of GameSpot's best VR games of 2019. It features inside-out tracking, but unlike the Quest, it needs to be plugged into a PC.

Oculus Go (32GB/64GB) | $130/$200 ($199/$249)

The Oculus Go headset's focus is more on media viewing. It's a great headset for watching movies, shows, and other videos, but you won't be able to play any of the games on Steam. Amazon has the headset discounted to $130 for the 32 GB version and $199 for the 64 GB option.

PlayStation VR with five-game mega pack | $300

This PlayStation VR combo was discounted to $200 during Black Friday, but if you didn't get a chance to grab it then, you can still get it from Walmart from a third-party seller at its regular price. This is an excellent starter pack for PlayStation VR with five great games: Skyrim VR, Resident Evil 7, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission, Everybody's Golf VR, and PlayStation VR Worlds.
