US residents shopping around Great Britain, however, would have to shell out $420 for a PS VR set. We're talking about $120 worth of conversion cash - definitely not your petty cash.
In what seems like a subterfuge plot to rub VR salt into the UK's brexiting wounds, Sony revived its Christmas PSVR discount, bringing all sets down by $100. So, the newly priced $200 starter pack converts to as low as £142.56.
This means Limeys would save upwards of 50% of the price when compared to domestic pricing. It's not enough to buy a ticket to the US, or anything like that, but it IS a great deal. Guess it's time to start making friends in the Land of the Cheap, no?
Disclaimer: Note that we've intentionally ignored 10-20% pricing discounts, sticking to base pricing for our calculations. We're aware that VAT would make this deal somewhat less sweet, but at this point of number crunching - our head feels like a Hadron collider of numbers and percentages, so see you once we sniff out the next one.
