Thanks.

Not really as the deal doesn't come with a note 7

Don't bother entering a building, driving or flying then. They also have caught fire.
I know you were probably making a joke so I'm not really having a pop I promise, but just offering balance to the hysteria!

Can't see this deal getting as hot as the Samsung note 7 though

*Now with an equal or greater fire risk rating as Google Cardboard*

Thanks.

Used mine for the first time last week, after having it from March, was impressed with the quality and wish I'd have used it sooner. At this price it's a steal.

how to use that ?
I don't see that offer in o2 priority

not seeing the offer in my app?

how do we use it its not on the site?

Popped into an o2 shop as was passing. They knew nothing about this. Not on my app either.

Edit:- On my app now. Think it's a must-buy....

If you can get it this is supercool. I bought one and gave it back as i found myself using it too much.
Let others try it, varying age, everyone was the same response "AWESOME".

Not on the O2 priority app.

It's available on mine £39.99

Can't see this deal getting as hot as the Samsung note 7 though

Are these worth it? I have an S6....

​LOL.... I might give it a try then (saves looking at the wife)

Do these work on non-samsung phones?

Is this the new model headset?

hot for the price,i got a s7 and gunjack is the best game everibody should have,the cinema room is impressive.

Is it compatible with note 4?

got it earlier this year when it came free with the s7 edge if you've never used VR its a great introduction the graphics can be very pixelated at times and the so called screen door is very noticeable if you can get around these its a great addition to a samsung phone. While i wouldn't say you'll use it daily it will be brought out on many occasions to show friends and family. minecraft is amazing and is a must buy !

Samsung released a Black / Blue R323 Model with USB-C for the Note 7.
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/virtual-reality/gear-vr/sm-r323nbkaxar-sm-r323nbkaxar/

Less of an issue now of course with the Note 7's demise.

But it does have an interchangeable tip so can use USB Micro-B and USB-C phones.

So you'll need this one if you plan on upgrading to the S8 in March / April.

It is however more than double the price of this White one.

I got mine yesterday for £90 on a Samsung discount store offered to employees of certain organisations.

The new one is black. Can anyone confirm this deal is on the new model?

Black version review

It's not, no. It's the older white model. As far as I can tell the only major difference is a USB-C connector for the Note 7. Kinda makes me wonder if we'll soon see a glut of cheap black Gear VR as Samsung are bound to have loads of them kicking about following recent events....

Bought, thanks OP!

​He asked if it was. He didn't say it was!!

I didn't know there was a new model, that's the point, he's cleared that up now, there is and given a link which is what I asked for.

Old model

My local poundland had vr headset for £4 would I notice much difference compared to Samsung one :smiley:

will it work on my PS4? lol

anyone still seeing this on priority ?

hmmmm... got an s6 edge+ is it really worth getting one of these??

So I couldn't use it for Non-Samsung handset then?

Could anyone on o2 get me a code or whatever pleeeeeeeeeease?

If you dont like this product then VR prob isnt for you, I have the Playstation VR and use this as well as the Oculus Rift and the Gear VR compares very well

At least there isn't a need for a raging inferno sim.

This has the sensors built into the headset compared to the other which just uses your phone. This is a huge step-up from cardboard, and not too far from running a Rift on a sub-par machine. PSVR and Vive both rip this apart though!

I've got the deal in mine o2 thing

Which model is this offer for?

On Amazon they're £49, £75 and £116

Will this work with a Note 4?

It's saying for the Note 4 it needs the Innovator Edition?

Thanks to the OP, picked one up yesterday. Had been mulling over purchasing one for a while but wasn't keen on paying full price. Set it up and had an hour with it last night, well with the 40 quid, nice intro to VR.

Annoyingly I have the headset as it came with my Note 7. Now I don't have a the phone but still got the headset and nothing to use it with :disappointed:

Anyone else not seeing this in the O2 app ?

Not seeing it on mine either.

Its in the "Just for you, from O2" link, that has a pic of a tablet, speaker, watch etc on it.

I have an S6 (non Edge version) too & I think this is pretty impressive.

Yes there is the 'screen door' effect but how much you let it distract you is up to you really.

What I'd like to know is how it compares to the PS4 VR set-up (which also has 'screen door' issues).

Anyway, at £40 I think it's well worth it (which is how much I paid for mine).

Thanks, ordered yesterday, arrived today.

Its the weirdest feeling to be playing and turn it off and find yourself facing the other direction, thanks to the wheelie chair.

I agree about this being a step-up from cardboard (& those cheapy headsets....I tried a Bobo Z4, supposedly one of the better ones).
I couldn't say about the Rift on a sub-par machine but your comment about PSVR interests me.

I've read it too has 'screen door' issues & is hardly the highest res (but of course the games for it are going to be way beyond this).
I'm asking because I'm thinking of buying a PS4 Pro & PSVR - although recent comments about the Pro effectively switching off 1/2 its processor to ensure compatibility with the vanilla PS4 have severely dented my enthusiasm.
I know the PS4 Pro wouldn't improve the res of the PS VR but hopefully frame-rates, textures etc.

thank you did a search on the app for o2 was under the heading half price tech ordered for free delivery

Great bit of kit this, hot!

Having played around with all 4 headsets, the only real problems I had with PSVR (must say that I sold mine a couple of days into ownership for these reasons) weren't resolution based, nor did I really experience "screen door" unlike with the gear vr. The issues were the cable placement and the fact it often felt like my headset was having an earthquake. Why the f did they put the cable on the side of the headset connected to a kinda heavy box?!?! I couldn't work out a way of alleviating this other than stuffing the cable in my pocket but even then it was dragging my head to one side - something the Vive, Rift or gear vr don't do. Also, they need a better camera system for tracking than a £40 camera... I have a light controlled room I used to test it in and even then it was still sometimes shaking randomly causing me to end up feeling sick and realising that we are spoilt by the Vive. Even the gear vr doesn't have these problems and I must say that I recommend the gear vr for casual use, especially at this price, however im sure the PSVR will become an excellent product once they sort out the teething problems... Maybe a v2 will be on the cards quite soon... One can hope!

My opinion fwiw - don't spend £750 on a PS4 Pro and VR - if you don't own a PS4 then save up a bit more and spend about £1150 and get a Vive setup - the zoostorm pc on the front-page with an rx480 would be more than capable to run the £650 or so Vive! Or don't get one at all for now and wait for things to get cheaper!! I reckon the PSVR is going to plummet in price after Christmas so might be worth waiting for then if you insist!

Thanks , ordered

Avaliable online with free delivery also through the app

Thanks for the reply.

I usually end up with all the consoles & many of the accessories so maybe I'll wait for a V2 as you say.

I'm lucky enough to have just upgrades my PC to an over-clockable i5 with an Nvidia 1070 card, I expect it to let me have some pretty decent VR when the time comes to buy the headset. Here's hoping :smiley:

Ditto?

This is the 323 the older modle released earlier this year. Not compatible withe Note 4... Shame.

Will cancel my order

Yup, PSVR doesn't have screen-door issues like the other headsets because it's using full RGB pixels rather than the Pentile arrangements used everywhere else. It does have a low resolution but it manifests as being a bit blurry. Screen door is actually really difficult to pick out during play.

No Note 7 included.

I tried these and they are so poor.
£40 is probably what they are worth max.
I wouldn't even pay £20.

samsung gear vr as as bad as those generic Chinese off-brand ones that you get for a tenner.
cold.

There really are some Samsung haters in here. The Gear VR is SO much better than the generic China headsets simply for the Oculus software if nothing else, some of the content is fantastic & it will only get better hopefully - HOT

Not officially, you can hack up the headset to **** for it to fit though,

Nice setup, definitely get a Vive then! Haha

..:confused:

i had one for a while then sold it. I managed to set kodi up on it streaming vids but the resolution was poor..you can see the dots on the screen

Seriously not setting anything up, I'm very interested in VR & I am looking forward to trying out all 3 (or I suppose we can say 4 with the Samsung) flavours.
Scorpio remains to be seen of course but I'm hoping PS VR (V2?) will exploit PS4 pro's extra umph.

For PC would you say Vive is 'it' or do you know of anything else on the horizon?

My crystal ball isn't showing anything on the horizon... I think the Vive has scared other companies off - came not too far from out of nowhere and is by far the best, however the cost is prohibitively high for many gamers - that's why the PSVR "sold out" on release. I'm intrigued to see what, if anything, HoloLens can do however that's augmented reality rather than virtual. Interesting point in time though

I've tried a cheap Google Cardboard headset as well as this. For me, the picture quality is no better on this, than on the Google Cardboard. Main advantages for me are that the phone fits easier in the headset, the controls are easier to use, and its comfier to wear.

What is recommended to control the phone when using one of these? I'm thinking of basic games maybe and also video playback.

Note 7 was the hottest thing this year. It was ON FIRE!

Im sure s6 onwards support the vr

A lot of the games and all the video content can controlled will the touch pad on the side of the headset. Some games will use or require a Bluetooth gamepad but it tells you in the store if that's necessary.

Thanks x-cell, and thanks OP.

I've ordered one and it was supposed to be available to collect in store yesterday but I had an email saying it was delayed. Hope it turns up as I've now ordered a bluetooth gamepad too.

How did you order online? It says instore online and need to show them the code in order to get the discount.

I ordered online and there's a + to enter a promo code. I had to get it delivered to a store as it said delivery wasn't available at the time and only certain stores said ok for collection. I went back on earlier to try and find the status of my order and it suggested it was ok for home delivery now.

Is this suitable for the galaxyj5

Is this suitable for samsung galaxy J5

No

cold, not for iphone

I have one of these, it's OK but too much effort for my liking, same goes for VR in general. Headsets are uncomfortable after any length of time. It's one of these things you have to try but then you soon move on.

The VR experience (323 Model) definitely works with the note 4 (i'm using it right now). There's no hacking required like you had to do with the 322 model (trim plastic to make the device fit). The issues it does have is, the handset wont charge via the USB-C port on the GearVR and the headphone jack is an extremely tight fit (need slim headphones). But it does work!
