Our verdict on each
Bigscreen
Bigscreen makes a single PC VR headset for people who sit at a desk and are happy with a cabled setup. The entry price of €1,249 runs well above the VR headset median, and the 1 to 2 year warranty is the reason to stretch to it.
ShopTo.net
ShopTo.net suits UK gamers who want consoles, handhelds, controllers, headsets and VR gear from a single seller, with returns set at 14 days. Shoppers who need phones, cameras or appliances, or a longer returns window, should look at the wider ranges elsewhere.

Pros and cons
Bigscreen
Pros
- Warranty of 1 to 2 years beats the VR headset ranking median of 1 at the upper end of the range.
- Platforms list pc, which keeps the setup simple, and PC is the platform for 100% of brands in the ranking.
- You buy from Bigscreen, Inc. directly, so terms, warranty and support all sit with the same company.
Cons
- Wireless is listed as no, so the headset needs a cable back to the computer, while 80% of brands in the ranking are wireless.
- Entry price of €1,249 places Bigscreen at 45 of 47 brands on price from, well above the VR median of €143.52.
- Support runs on email, help centre and community only, where 50% of brands in the ranking also offer a phone line.
ShopTo.net
Pros
- gaming, computers and tv covers gaming, computers and televisions, so a controller, a headset and a new PC can come from a single seller.
- The catalog spans console, handheld and controller, so handhelds, VR headsets and controllers sit beside consoles rather than a separate store.
- Support runs on help centre, chat and phone, so a help centre, chat and a phone line are all listed.
Cons
- Returns run 14 days, which places ShopTo.net at 58 of the 80 brands compared on that measure.
- The warranty on products runs 1 year, sitting at the 1 median for stores in the comparison rather than above it.
- Email is not among help centre, chat and phone, so queries run through a help centre, chat and phone.
Who each suits
Bigscreen
Who it suits
- PC owners at a desk who are content with a cabled headset and a cable route to the machine.
- Buyers who treat warranty length as part of the value and will pay €1,249 to keep the headset for a few years.
- Shoppers in the US or another market on the hardware terms list, who are happy to deal with the maker through email, help centre and community.
Who should look elsewhere
- Console and handheld players: Scan lists console, handheld and controller, so a headset can sit in one order alongside consoles, handhelds and controllers.
- Shoppers on a budget: ALTERNATE lists console, handheld and controller, so a headset can be weighed against cheaper gaming gear in the same basket.
- Buyers who prefer one VR and gaming shop: XRshop lists vr headset, controller and gaming headset, pairing VR with controllers and gaming headsets.
ShopTo.net
Who it suits
- Console players and PC gamers buying across pc, playstation and xbox who want their gear from a single gaming specialist.
- Buyers in the markets listed at GB, DE and FR who prefer a single catalog rather than several shops.
- Shoppers who want support by phone, since help centre, chat and phone includes a phone line alongside a help centre and chat.
Who should look elsewhere
- Shoppers after phones, cameras or appliances: Akkuk.hu covers computers, phones and audio and Banggood covers computers, phones and audio.
- Audio-first buyers, including anyone hunting refurbished gear: JBL lists audio, gaming and refurbished.

Questions about each
Bigscreen
How much does a Bigscreen VR headset cost?+
The headset lists at €1,249 as its entry price. That places Bigscreen at 45 of 47 brands on price from, and well above the VR headset median of €143.52. It is a hardware price paid at purchase, not a recurring plan.
Is the Bigscreen headset wireless?+
No. Wireless is listed as no, so the headset runs a cable back to the computer and works on pc only. In the wider VR ranking, 80% of brands are wireless, so a cabled headset is the less common setup and needs a planned cable route.
ShopTo.net
How much does gear cost at ShopTo.net?+
Headset prices start at £24.99, and the catalog runs across consoles, handhelds, controllers, gaming headsets and VR headsets. Delivery carries no threshold because the free delivery threshold is £0, so shipping does not lift the total on smaller orders.
How long do I have to return something?+
Returns run 14 days from delivery, which places ShopTo.net at 58 of the 80 brands compared on that measure. If you tend to keep a new handheld for a few days while charging it, plan the return against the delivery date rather than the order date.
