Where to Buy a PSVR 2 in Australia?
The PSVR 2 made its Australia debut on February 22 and is available to buy at a variety of places. There’s no waitlist or invite required, which makes buying these easy and hassle-free. Sony’s selling two different PlayStation VR2 bundles. The first standalone bundle comprises the PS VR2 headset, PS VR2 Sense controllers and stereo headphones, while the second bundle dubbed “PlayStation VR2 Call Of The Mountain Bundle” packs in a PlayStation Store voucher code for Horizon Call of the Mountain and carries over all the other things from the previous bundle. Here is a list of places where you can snag your PSVR 2 headset in Australia.
1. Sony Store
It goes without saying that the official Sony store is one of the best places to buy/find the PSVR 2 in Australia. However, the online store currently only has the PlayStation VR2 Call Of The Mountain Bundle up for order and there’s no word of when the standalone bundle will be available. That said, you will need games to enjoy on the new hardware and Call Of The Mountain Bundle is among the few exclusive titles that truly take advantage of everything the new headset has to offer.
