INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
VR headsets can be expensive, can't they? While there are plenty of budget and mid-range options out there – say, the Oculus Go – to
really get one of the best VR experiences available today, you'll have to splash out more than a couple of hundred pounds
It's fortunate, then, that Black Friday is upon us, and bringing a whole load of VR headset deals with it.The new HTC Vive Cosmos has seen a
£100 price cut, bringing it down to only £599 – with six free months of Viveport Infinity thrown in too, meaning you get access to
hundreds of VR titles without paying another penny.The HTC Vive Pro, on the other hand, has got a £200 discount for its Full Kit bundle,
which throws in sensors for room-scale tracking, as well as two controllers for use with the headset – now for £1,099
We'd seen this price previously back in October, but if you didn't manage to grab it then, now may be the time.You'll also find discounts on
accessories that turn these wired VR headsets into wireless gadgets, meaning you can ditch the cable for more portable play.HTC Vive Cosmos

your Vive Pro into a portable playground.View DealVive Pro is now getting on a bit, given it launched in 2016, but it remains one of the
best VR headsets we've reviewed
At a time when most manufacturers in the VR space are aiming at market-friendly mid-range models, the Vive Pro is still unapologetically
premium.But it also relies on external sensors for location tracking, unlike the cheaper Vive Cosmos (new for 2019), which uses six embedded
cameras in the headset itself
The controllers for the Cosmos are also more gamer-friendly, with additional trigger and shoulder buttons instead of the Pro's trackpad
Both however require a wired connection to a capable PC (specs on their respective product pages), and have equivalent pixel density (1440 x
1600 for the Vive Pro, and 1,440 x 1,700 for the Cosmos).If you're not in the UK, or want to check out deals on more VR headsets before you
