You'll soon be able to try PlayStation VR at Best Buy and Gamestop
Still on the fence when it comes to virtual reality? Sony is looking to entice you into buying its VR headset with an early test drive.
PlayStation VR will appear in 30 Best Buy and Gamestop locations starting on Friday and 300 stores across the country by June 24, long before the device goes on sale in the fall.
This is an important opportunity for Sony to show its consumers why virtual reality is cool and how the PlayStation VR works with the PS4. Games and experiences available to demo include PlayStation VR Worlds, EVE: Valkyrie, Headmaster, Battlezone and the puzzle game SuperHyperCube.
