Sony recently unveiled the PlayStation VR, and at select retailers you can now place a pre-order to guarantee one for yourself. There is already lots of hype around these, as initial listings in the UK apparently sold out in under 15 minutes. Luckily, there is more than just one place to pre-order the PlayStation VR, and here are some of the options you have. If you want to ensure you have a unit when it officially releases in October, be sure to place your order now.
Amazon
Of course, Amazon will have pre-orders of the PlayStation VR. Availability may be limited from the online retailer, so you will want to act quick and check frequently if you aren’t able to grab one immediately. If you prefer to buy from Amazon, you can also sign up to be notified when there is more stock available.
Update: Amazon has announced they will open up more pre-orders for the PlayStation VR at 5 p.m. EST. Ordering through Amazon offers the advantage of not having your card charged until the PlayStation VR ships. Act fast, as these will likely sell out just as fast as the first round of pre-orders.

Why is there PlayStation stuff here?
PlayStation on Android Central?!? We use our Android phones to interact with the PlayStation 4 — especially if you have a Sony Xperia phone. We’re also talking a lot more about VR, and PlayStation VR is just as big a part of that conversation. It stretches things outside of Android a little, but it’s also going to be a lot of fun. Enjoy!
