    I haven't actually used the VR device yet but if it's anything like the demo model I saw at the Samsung display, it should prove to be a very interesting experience. The fact that it was packaged with the phone was a big plus, although I would have purchased the phone without the incentive.

    The view of even the free downloads is great. Just make sure you are seated. You definitely lose perspective.
