    It's a great product to use with my s7 edge. It's a whole new way to play games. Wish they would make an iPod like device so the kids could enjoy without using my phone..

    Got this free with my purchase of the Samsung S7 Edge and was amazed by the virtual reality experience. I seems like your right in the middle of the action and the theater.

    This is a fun gadget to play games. And as far as realism goes it is just like being there. I'm sure that there will be quite a few new titles to enjoy in the future.

    This has been fun for the entire family! Now, we did have to go to the Samsung counter to get some help figuring it out, but that may be because I'm not tech savvy.

    Reading about it and there isn't much, if any mention of free content. They state something about needing download software to work, which I believe needs to connect to their store. Probably make all their money selling you content, but not enough direction regarding what's really offered with this. I'll update further, if allowed, when I have more time to dig into this further.
