For the last several months, we\u2019ve not yet seen a glimpse of this Gear VR headset, but we\u2019ve heard for some time now that the price would be right: at $99.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve been waiting for your perfect Christmas present, the time is growing closer. Reports say that Best Buy is now taking pre-orders for the Gear VR consumer edition. The price, as rumors stated, is $99, although the device itself won\u2019t make it to store shelves until next month (in time for Christmas, no doubt). Since many crazy tech enthusiasts don\u2019t want to wait for it, you can order it now and have it shipped just as it becomes available in retail stores.<\/p>\n<p>The Gear VR is Samsung\u2019s take on virtual reality, with 2015 smartphones having access to it (only). Samsung hasn\u2019t stated any intentions of making the Gear VR backwards-compatible with handsets such as the Galaxy Note 4 or Galaxy S5, for example, so only those who own one of the company\u2019s 2015 smartphones can partake of this first consumer Gear VR headset.<\/p>\n<p>Best Buy is throwing in a free 16GB microSD card with 3D movie trailers and 360-degree videos as an incentive, though what Samsung users do with it is something of a mystery; after all, it\u2019s not as though their 2015 devices allow microSD cards at this point. If the Gear VR consumer headset allows for the Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5, though, the microSD card will come in handy.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Screenshot_2015-11-10-23-04-22-e1447216258979.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5269 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Screenshot_2015-11-10-23-04-22-e1447216258979-157x300.png\" alt=\"Gear VR pre-order delivery date bestbuy\" width=\"157\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Screenshot_2015-11-10-23-04-22-e1447216258979-157x300.png 157w, https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Screenshot_2015-11-10-23-04-22-e1447216258979-535x1024.png 535w, https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Screenshot_2015-11-10-23-04-22-e1447216258979-765x1463.png 765w, https:\/\/aptgadget.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Screenshot_2015-11-10-23-04-22-e1447216258979.png 926w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 157px) 100vw, 157px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested, head on over to Best Buy\u2019s Gear VR pre-order page and place your order for the first, historic VR headset from Samsung.
