    Needs more content. Doesn't seem to be a lot out there. I think it is a cool product but lacks more diverse content to enjoy it. Maybe later on samsung will add more but I can't recommend it until they do.

    My only complaint is that I suffer some motion sickness during some of the games. That is probably due to the fact that I do suffer it in real life, too. Well, not often but enough for some discomfort. I guess that might prove how realistic this device is!!!

    VR is something everyone is going to want to try but not everyone will enjoy. The potential for this is immense and it may be worth being an early adopter to follow along. At the very least, you can watch Netflix like your in a chateau with a fire burning...

    Well, if you like watching theater sized movie screens in your house this is a very inexpensive way to do it. The VR lets you watch movies in a whole new way, connected to Netflix it's just awesome. The different applications you can use it for are pretty amazing as well, shooter games, virtual presence, seeing your photos on your phone is just the next level. And if you have ever used your phone to take Google sphere photos watching them on VR will blow your mind.

    Got this for my note 7, never got much of a chance to use it before the note 7 was done. Been using it with a s7 edge and it works good for what it cost. The phone does get extremely hot sometimes when using it though.
