I'm going to assume it was a Gear VR that was given as it was developed in partnership with oculus and is around the $100 price point.
Oh, that's totally different. Basically the plastic thing strapping a cell phone to your head. And disappointing; I thought there was a crazy deal I needed to get in on, hah!
Anyhow, I've specced it out but I'm getting a new rig. Figured I'd have to before the dollar falls even more and the prices go up even more. Looks like $3500 (not including Oculus) and without the g-sync monitor for now - I keep reading terrible quality control things so far.
They got a pre-order in for you? That's pretty cool, or do you have it in hand somehow?
Visions. I bought a Samsung Galaxy 6 Edge during Boxing Week and it came free with the phone as a promo. I'm not very tech inclined, I opened it and put it on once, the gf laughed at me apparently looking like a giant nerd, and it's been sitting in a box on my dresser ever since. I have no idea what to even do with er.
EDIT: I just read more of the responses, yeah just one of those ones you apparently slap the phone on to. Sorry if that was misleading, I don't know anything about that kind of stuff. I'll probably never use the thing

Ha! No worries, I was just wondering if I missed out on a crazy deal or something.

You should do some googling and get into it. It's a pretty cool piece of tech, I'm assuming you got the Samsung Gear VR.
If anybody is interested, the latest Podcast Beyond (playstation podcast from IGN) had a decent discussion on VR Porn that they watched at CES. Apparently it was pretty terrible. These are definitely early days.
Man if Sony can undercut Oculus by $200 (so, a $400 price point), they will certainly have the leg-up on the competition. Cheapest unit, with the hardware to run it already in 40 million (and growing) homes?
