PlayStation VR2 is now back to its regular price of $550. For the past nine days the headset was on sale for $350, a significant discount of $200. A report suggested a retailer sold more PSVR 2 headsets on the first day of this sale than all year so far at the regular price. Some in the industry had hoped Sony would react to this sales surge by extending the sale or even making it the regular new price to keep the momentum going, as Meta did when it cut Quest 2 to $200.

VR has many use cases beyond entertainment and with HTC, RiVR's fire safety program aims to minimize training risks. Here's what we thought. Enterprise VR software isn't something I often use. I usually focus on VR's consumer side, which generally leads me towards games and movies.
