Good news for those of you who have been thinking about getting into virtual reality gaming. Sony just announced plans to bring back its PlayStation VR holiday deal for a limited time, making your foray into virtual worlds a lot more affordable.

Starting Sunday, Feb. 18, the company will knock $100 off the price of PS VR bundles and headsets, bringing them as low as $199.99. That includes the PS VR Gran Turismo Sport bundle, which normally sells for $299.99 and includes a physical copy of the racing game plus a PlayStation VR headset and PlayStation Camera.

The promotion will be available at retailers including GameStop, Walmart, Best Buy, and Target in the US through Saturday, March 3, so you'll have almost two weeks to mull it over.

Fans of the Doom series will be able to snag the PS VR Doom VFR Bundle, regularly $399.99, for $299.99. Meanwhile, the PS VR Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim VR Bundle, which normally sells for $449.99 and includes two PS Move controllers and the core game plus add-ons, among all the other goodies, will drop to $349.99.

"This deal comes at such an exciting time for PS VR, with recent launches such as The Inpatient and Accounting +, and upcoming titles like Moss, Bravo Team, and more," PlayStation Marketing VP Mary Yee wrote in a blog post. "There are more than 150 games and experiences available that are compatible with PS VR, and more than 130 highly anticipated games and other entertainment content expected to launch by the end of this year."

PS VR earned an excellent rating in PCMag's review, "Virtual reality is still a technical novelty you need to be committed to before you spend the cash, but PlayStation VR stands out in price and ease of use," we wrote.

My Experience

I'm PCMag's managing editor for consumer electronics, overseeing an experienced team of analysts covering smart home, home entertainment, wearables, fitness and health tech, and various other product categories. I have been with PCMag for more than 10 years, and in that time have written more than 6,000 articles and reviews for the site. I previously served as an analyst focused on smart home and wearable devices, and before that I was a reporter covering consumer tech news. I'm also a yoga instructor, and have been actively teaching group and private classes for nearly a decade. 

Prior to joining PCMag, I was a reporter for SC Magazine, focusing on hackers and computer security. I earned a BS in journalism from West Virginia University, and started my career writing for newspapers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.

The Technology I Use

My little Florida beach bungalow is brimming with smart home tech. I have a smart speaker or display in every room, allowing me to control other connected devices by voice. The Nest Hub on my bedside table lets me set wake-up alarms, control my smart light bulbs, and set the temperature on my smart thermostat. I use the Amazon Echo Show 8 on my kitchen counter to browse recipes, reorder protein powder, check the weather, and watch the news while I do dishes. 

Because I suffer from allergies, air purifiers are essential. My favorite model is the Dyson Purifier Cool TP07, which doubles as a fan and continuously sends indoor pollution data to its companion mobile app. 

My pitbull Bradley sheds, so a good robot vacuum is a must. I currently use a premium Ecovacs Deebot that can both vacuum and mop, empty its own dustbin, and wash its own mop cloth. 

For fitness, I like to mix up my routine with cycling, indoor rowing, running, and strength training in addition to yoga. I take classes on the Tonal 2 smart strength training machine, I row indoors on an Aviron machine, and track my beach runs with an Apple Watch while listening to music on my Apple AirPods Pro. On the weekends, I love riding e-bikes like the rugged, beach-friendly Aventon Aventure for fun and fitness.

My job involves a lot of virtual meetings, so a quality webcam, microphone, and ring light are important. I use the Jabra PanaCast 20 webcam, the Elgato Wave: 3 microphone, and a Yesker tripod ring light. 

As for my preferred phone platform, I'm an iPhone person, but I've also extensively used Android for product testing.
