Sony to send free trial PSVR units with Skyrim to chosen PS Plus members

As PS 4 owners who are also PS Plus members struggle to find demo units of PSVR at retail outlets, Sony is now expanding its offer to send free trial units to even more chosen members.

The pilot program for the free trial demo units being sent to users’ homes was a hit, so Sony has upped the number of units it is shipping to eligible users – but only if they’re lucky.

Of course, nothing in life is really free, so these lucky members will be charged $300 at the end of the 14-day trial period if the units aren’t returned.

It’s a great way to get users to try out the PSVR unit, and the deal has been sweetened by offering Skyrim with the deal. Without the deal, the PSVR Skyrim bundle would cost $450.

Current information shows that only 1,400 of these units are available for the offer, which will last through a portion of this month. Sony may choose to extend the offer and add even more units if they see a low rate of returns as we head into the Christmas holidays.
