PlayStation VR DOOM VFR Bundle to Launch December 1st
Sony's latest PlayStation VR package is a DOOM VFR Bundle that will be launching this December 1st for $399.99 USD including a PS VR headset, PS Camera, the new PS VR demo disc and a copy of Doom VFR. 
Just in time for the holidays, here's some further details on it from Sony PlayStation Marketing VP Mary Yee, to quote:
The Doom VFR release date is closing in and we’re excited to announce a new bundle that will vault you into the fast-paced, thrilling gameplay you love but as a totally new experience built for VR.
The PlayStation VR Doom VFR Bundle includes* the PlayStation VR system, PlayStation Camera, the updated PS VR Demo Disc and Doom VFR Blu-ray Disc.
Doom VFR transports you to the UAC facility on Mars and the depths of Hell, as your skills are put to the test through intense combat. Set shortly after the demonic invasion on the UAC’s Martian research facility, you are the last known human survivor – until your death.
Under a top-secret UAC operational contingency protocol, your consciousness is transferred to an artificial brain matrix. Your designated purpose: restore operational stability and use any means necessary to stop the onslaught of demons.
The game can be played with either a DualShock 4 wirelress controller, PlayStation Move controllers, or the PlayStation VR Aim Controller to heighten your experience.
The PlayStation VR Doom VFR Bundle will start to hit shelves alongside the game on December 1 across the U.S. and Canada for $399.99 USD (MSRP) / $499.99 CAD (MSRP). If you want to make sure you get your hands on one, pre-order your bundle starting today.
