I am really disappointed with Samsung. I am a very loyal customer of Samsung and often encourage my friends to buy Samsung . I have been using Samsung since Galaxy note 1 then s3, s4, s6, s6edge+ and now Samsung s7edge etc. I upgraded from s6edge+ to s7edge because I was really excited about GEAR VR therefore I prebooked it.

my.galaxy@samsung.com mailed me i will not get the code to redeem my VR as I used my other sim for the first time to check the phone. Its not like that, it''s not possible for Samsung to do this much for me. I wouldn''t have bought Rs.57000 phone if I knew I won''t get Gear VR. It seems like a trick to do a fraud with customer.

Is it fair? Whatever that is happening with me? The case should be like it should be given along with phone when you pre book now I am really really upset that I lost Rs. 8000 worth of Gear VR.

And Samsung directly said they won't help me.

    I am waiting for the equivalent to the Nerve Gear. That would be true VR.

      I blame adult VR movies

                Was it really VR content? Or does it include videos without any VR features, that is just compatible by showing 2 images, one for each eye.

                      That's how it ends, when you're giving away VR headset for free with the phone. People love freebies. Still, for that price I would prefer dedicated VR headset, but good move nevertheless Samsung.
