Sony is making sure Christmas arrives early for gamers this year. With another massive $100 off on the PlayStation VR2 Horizon Call of the Mountain Bundle, Sony is surely tempting people to invest in VR hardware.

As hinted by the title, this Bundle comes with the PSVR 2 and a copy of Horizon Call of the Mountain, which is the VR version of the popular PlayStation-exclusive franchise, Horizon.

Although the PlayStation 5 excels in all departments, one area that it fell short in was the color options. With the console only available in white, it was something that felt completely ignored. However, Sony resolved this by introducing console covers in eight different colors: Sterling Silver, Volcanic Red, Cobalt Blue, Midnight Black, Galactic Purple, Starlight Blue, Nova Pink, and Cosmic Red.

While these covers are prone to criticism for what the fans consider to be outrageously priced (ranging from $45 to $50), a $10 deduction could be considered the best deal up for grabs.
