Samsung’s Gear VR Innovator Edition In US On Dec For $199
Samsung announced that you could get a Gear VR as early as next month, Oculus released an all-important detail: its price. Oculus and Samsung are selling two versions of its Gear VR Innovator Edition; the headset alone is $199, but the bundle that includes the Bluetooth gamepad will cost you $249.
Gear VR is designed for the Galaxy Note 4, which you will have to supply yourself in order to get that whole virtual reality experience. Seeing as a Note 4 will likely cost you around $300 on contract and upwards of $800 without, the total Gear VR experience is looking to be quite expensive; starting at around $500 and almost $1,000 if you decide to go off-contract.
It is considerably more than the $350 Oculus Rift DK2, though bear in mind that Oculus has yet to announce the consumer retail price of its Rift headset.
