Are you looking into getting into VR gaming but don’t want to spend a ton of money? Well, Amazon currently has the Oculus Go on sale for only $149.99 (32GB model).
Pure PSVR: If you’re in the market for a cheap and cheerful, albeit low-powered, VR headset, the Oculus Go could be a decent fit for you.
This sounds like it's only good for watching movies and not much else.
Probably also good for scare experiences, like an on rails haunted house where you look around and things jump out trying to scare you.
It's slightly better than Google cardboard but not worth the investment. I'd suggest getting a PSVR or go all in for the Quest/or equal hardcore PCVR headset.
I already have PSVR from day one and love it, but would like to see what the other devices play like but am not a computer person so I need simplicity.
Some "movies" are too close for my liking in VR, then if things splash on the screen, that's gross af lol.
The standalone Oculus Go lets you play VR games, watch movies, sports or concerts or hang out with friends in VR chat. Get it for $130 right now.

If you've always wanted to try out VR, but the idea of strapping your phone to your face is too weird, Oculus might be the way to go.
Start working at home with Google! It’s by-far the best job I’ve had. Last Friday I got a brand new BMW since getting a check for $6474 this - 5 weeks past. I began this 6-months ago and immediately was bringing home at least $85 per hour..
Go this web and start your work.. Good luck.... https://bit.ly/2XHkiFr
This is the version basically built for movies and very basic games/apps. The Quest is the one that should’ve been on sale, but they can’t keep them in stock.
The primary recommendation is obviously the Quest for the freedom of movement and quality, but it’s $400 plus tax and the many games you’ll buy.
As the article discusses if you have the vr itch and want to spend the least amount, it’s worth it to get a Go. If it’s no big deal to spend up on the Quest, that’s better with 6 degrees of movement vs the Go’s 3 dof.
However I’ve played some of my old Gear VR games on my Quest and really for a new adopter who knows they won’t be able to stretch up to a Quest then heck the Go will get you by with enough fun.
Just don’t buy the Go if there is any chance you can swing a Quest this year. Basically the experience is good enough you won’t feel like wasted money and you’ll enjoy it plenty to want a Quest. It’s not a bad experience that will turn you off of vr.
That isn't a sale, it is the new MSRP. Is it that hard for a website titled "myvideogamenews" to actually be up to date with what happened 2 weeks ago?
