The PlayStation VR2 Bundle With Horizon Call of the Mountain Has Never Been Priced Lower Than Now
If you've been putting off your first venture into the world of Virtual Reality gaming — probably because the costs have been known to be on the steep side — your excuse just left the building. Amazon has bundled the PlayStation VR2 headset and controllers with the great VR game Horizon Call of the Mountain and for a limited time it's at its lowest price ever, just $349. See at Amazon To give you an idea of just what a massive deal this is, it's been almost exactly 2 years since this bundle was first released, and its original price was $600. We can see maybe taking a pass on it at that point, but now that it's just $349, it's probably time to join the ranks of the VR gaming enthusiasts. Huge Improvement The original PlayStation VR headset was revolutionary, to be sure. But it was also a little on the heavy side, with some reviewers complaining of neck fatigue from wearing the headset. The first VR headsets also took some critical knocks for inducing motion sickness and having less than stellar graphics. The PlayStation VR2 addressed those concerns and more — it has four times the resolution of the original, with two OLED displays delivering 4K images at a crisp 120 frames per second to help ward off any motion issues. There's also 3D Audio Immersion with dynamic adjustment, so even small sounds move with the motion of your head. (It's similar to music delivered with Spatial Audio.) The VR2 headset also uses intelligent eye tracking that takes your real-life expressions and facial movements and transfers them onto your VR avatar during game play. All told, it's by far the most immersive VR gaming experience to date. Feel the Difference You'll see and hear the improvements of the PlayStation VR2 in the headset, but you'll feel it most in the new, updated VR2 Sense hand controllers. These upgraded controllers have haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, precision tracking, and finger-touch detection. They're also lightweight to keep you from wearing out during a long gaming sessions, and the sensations linking what you see in VR with what you feel from the controllers creates incredible realism. Your first foray into ultra-realistic PlayStation VR2 gaming will come in the form of Horizon Call of the Mountain when you use the download code that comes bundled with the headset and controllers. Once you get a feel for coordinating your headset images with your hand controllers, it's a safe bet you'll be going back to the PlayStation library for more incredible VR gaming. So if you've been eyeing the PS VR2, this is the lowest price we've seen—don't miss it. See at Amazon

‘Rust' Armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed Released on Parole After 14 Months
Hannah Gutierrez Reed, the film armorer convicted of manslaughter in the 'Rust' shooting, was released on parole Friday after serving 14 months in prison. Gutierrez Reed, 28, served her sentence at the Western New Mexico Correctional Facility. She was released Friday morning and ordered to go to Bullhead City, Ariz., where she lives. Her attorney, Jason Bowles, declined to comment on the release out of respect for her privacy. More from Variety 'Rust' Review: Alec Baldwin Plays a Cold Outlaw With a Heart of Gold in a Buddy-Movie Western That Lopes Along More Than It Takes Wing 'Rust' Director Says He Didn't Watch Alec Baldwin's Reality Show: 'I Think I Was Busy Hitting Myself in the Face With a Frying Pan That Night' 'Rust' Trailer: Alec Baldwin Plays an Outlaw in First Footage After On-Set Death of Halyna Hutchins Gutierrez Reed was found to have acted with criminal negligence when she loaded a live bullet into Alec Baldwin's gun on the Western set near Santa Fe, N.M., in October 2021. Baldwin was holding the gun when it fired, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Baldwin — who denied pulling the trigger — was also put on trial for involuntary manslaughter last July, but the case was dismissed after the judge learned that prosecutors had withheld evidence from the defense. The Santa Fe district attorney abandoned an appeal of that ruling in December, after the state attorney general declined to pursue it. Gutierrez Reed was convicted at a trial in February and March 2024. Prosecutors alleged that the shooting was part of a pattern of sloppy and unprofessional behavior, including allowing actors to wave guns around and failing to maintain 'muzzle discipline.' The defense argued that Gutierrez Reed could not have anticipated that a box of inert dummy rounds had been contaminated with a handful of similar-looking live bullets. The defense also alleged that the production was to blame for cutting corners and for requiring her to do the job of two people. Dummy rounds typically contain a few BBs that rattle when shaken. Prosecutors argued that had she shaken all of the rounds before loading them into Baldwin's gun, she would have discovered that one did not rattle. The prosecution also alleged that Gutierrez Reed was responsible for bringing the live rounds on set, though the source of the rounds was heavily disputed. Gutierrez Reed was sentenced in April 2024 to 18 months in prison, the maximum term for involuntary manslaughter. Until her parole expires next year, she is barred from buying, selling or possessing firearms. She is also ordered to undergo a mental health assessment and to obtain work or enroll in school within 45 days. Her case remains on appeal, as the defense alleged numerous errors by the trial judge. She separately pleaded guilty to a charge of bringing a gun into a bar, which did not add to her prison time. Several civil cases also remain pending. David Halls, the first assistant director who was responsible for set safety, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of negligent handling of a firearm. He was given six months of unsupervised probation and no prison time. He has since retired from the industry. 'Rust' was completed in Montana more than a year after the shooting. It was given a limited release on May 2, grossing just $25,000 in 115 theaters.
