Have you been saving up for a VR headset, hoping that when the Black Friday sales roll around there might be a tasty discount to be found? If you answered yes, then your prayers have been answered, as the rather expensive HTC Vive is about to get a $100 cheaper, and that isn’t exactly loose change, you could buy a lot of extra games with that money saved!
“Happy Thanksgiving! To kick off the holiday celebrations, we’re pleased to announce Black Friday & Cyber Monday deals for HTC Vive™. Whether you’re looking to pick up a Vive or get the latest and greatest content from Viveport, we’ve got you covered.” – Vive
US retailers are set to shave off $100 for Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the real Black Friday that is, not the fact it seems we’re having a disappointing sales fest which I’m calling “Black November.” To top off the sale fest that is Black Friday these days, a huge pile of games are getting 50% off, so once again, much more gaming action can come out of that $100 saving!
Vive Sales
To get your jump on Virtual Reality this season, on both Black Friday and Cyber Monday, wherever Vive is sold, purchasers can receive $100 off their Vive purchase (while supplies last). In addition, Vive owners can build up their VR library with some of the most popular titles with big discounts through HTC’s Viveport app store, with bundle deals, an in-store cash back offer, and a 50% off sale running through the weekend.
The Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals will be available online and in all retail locations where Vive is sold, including Microsoft Stores, Amazon.com, Gamestop, Newegg.com, Micro-center, and Vive.com. In addition, for the first time, Vive will be available for sale in 34 Fry’s locations across the U.S and online. To find a location to purchase Vive near you, click here.
Viveport Sales
The deals don’t stop there. For the entire holiday weekend, Viveport, HTC Vive’s app store for all non-gaming VR content, is offering big savings for customers around the world. Customers who spend $30 USD equivalent or more between Black Friday and Cyber Monday get $10 USD equivalent back in their wallets. You can also build your library with a $5 bundle deal on three of the most popular VR apps: Soundstage, Arcade Artist, and Lumen. Viveport is also offering 50% discount on the more than 20 titles below:
Viveport’s Black Friday through Cyber Monday sale starts at 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time on November 24 and runs through 11:59 p.m. on November 28. If you don’t already have Viveport, you can install the Vive software here.
