    Thanks OP, just bought one. No issues except some bank safety check. My thinking is they are pricing them low for now to get some out the door and as popularity builds up the price will increase. I dunno though, somehow it feels like a waste of money but we'll see!

    Are these yokes for watching the likes of netflix or what?

    You can do yeah but the whole point is immersion in whatever you're doing be it video watching or gaming. A novelty right now but seems to be the future!

    Top Tip : Keep the box and you could get €20 for it in 50 years time ! ;-)

    On the Vodafone site, what's listed as "Gear VR" for eur49 is indeed the Gear VR. Quoted specs include phone compatibility with S6, S6 edge, S7, Note 5.

    What's listed as "Gear VR2" for eur199 is the "Gear VR Innovator edition"...

    how does Gear VR2 work? Will it harm our eyes?

    it was cancelled, I chekced the tracking and it says "Your order has been cancelled."
    is it possible to convince them to un-cancel it?

    Probably best to ask why it was cancelled

    I just checked mine and it says order was processed being dispatched shortly. Are you sure the payment went through OK? Could be a bank error?

    Dispatched mine on Friday. Hopefully get it today.

    They don't deliver on weekends do they?

    Two great deals I've gotten now on Vodafone site for Samsung gear.

    Mine arrived yesterday but only home today to play with it. It's pretty bloody cool! Even herself was impressed with it! Here's hoping the content grows enough.

    I connected my S6 straight to it, but it prompts to install software for it to work. Over a hundred Mb so you'd want wifi. Have to set up an oculus account as well. Once that's all sorted, connect back up, go through short set up/intro, and then you have a decent menu system to go through including Facebook 360 vids, Netflix(I think?), a store for buying games, and your own movies and vids to view in different cinema environments.
    To be fair, I hadn't given it much thought as to how realistic it might be, but I'm very impressed.

    One huge pathetic joke with this headset is that the vast majority of the content, especially streaming movies etc is only done over wifi. It will not allow me to stream over my 4G connection. As I only have a 4G connection as there is no ADSL on my local exchange, it means I cannot use most of the stuff. I should be able to use 4g if I want.
