The HTC Vive Cosmos Elite is $100 off for the first time this year

The HTC Vive Cosmos Elite has taken its first discount of the year this week, dropping down to just $799 at Amazon (was $899.99). That's a solid $100 saving on one of the best VR headsets out there, a discount only beaten by the system's Black Friday price of $649.

Considering the HTC Vive Cosmos Elite hasn't been the subject of VR headset deals for some time, this is a particularly impressive offer - setting you up with everything you need for room-scale VR. While the headset by itself can be found for a lot less (currently on sale for $499, was $549, at Amazon), the controllers and tracking stations found in the full bundle certainly complete the experience. Plus, considering each controller will set you back around $130 by themselves, it certainly pays to go big here.

For a rig that can keep up with your virtual adventures, we'd recommend checking out the best gaming PC going and the best gaming laptops on the market right now. We're also keeping you topped up on all the latest PSVR 2 developments which includes all the latest PSVR 2 price expectations.
