Free Mixed Reality Headsets up to $400
Forget the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive, because Microsoft is pushing their Windows Mixed Reality platform hard this Black Friday season. At participating retailer, you can pick up a VR-ready computer with a Mixed Reality headset for FREE (up to a $400 value). That’s a pretty aggressive promotion all things considered.
You’ll need to act fast because while we were writing up this deal, the HP Mixed Reality headset beingoffered at Best Buyis already out of stock (the Acer and Dell models are still available as of writing).
Conversely, if you prefer a laptop, Microsoft Store looks tohave more in stockand their deals are really great as well. While some of the GTX 1050 machines probably won’t be able to handle VR properly – if you offload the headset and controllers on eBay or Craigslist, you’re effectively getting a gaming capable laptop/computer for a damn cheap price.

Update: Added some of the higher-end and priced models being offered at Microsoft Store.
Best Buy PC + Mixed Reality Deals
Add the PCs listed above to cart, thenadd a Mixed Reality headsetof your choice to cart and you’ll see $0.00 at checkout for the headset if it’s priced under $400, otherwise it’ll be an additional $50 purchase for the Dell Visor.
Update: Looks like the Acer headset is now OOS and HP is in-store only at Best Buy. We’d suggest checking through the weekend to see if they release more stock. you may also pick up the Dell Mixed Reality headset for an additional $50, which is still a very good deal and saves you $400.
HTC Vive Black Friday Deals
Prefer a Rift or Oculus vs. the Mixed Reality headsets this Black Friday? As of writing, the best Vive offer is probably straight from Vive.com as they’re throwing in a $50 Steam gift card. This HTC Vive VR offer is good through Cyber Monday and should hold it’s stock. Similarly, you’re able to pick up a unit at GameStop with a $50 GameStop gift card instead.
PlayStation VR Black Friday Deals
Prefer the PlayStation VR because you have a PlayStation 4? The good news is that the $100 discount on PS VR bundles are still in effect and in fact, you can pick up the Skyrim bundle for a slightly cheaper $335 at Dell vs. all other participating retailers. Our top pick though would be theGran Turismo Sportbundle and then pick up two move controllers in the near future for cheap.
