The Samsung Gear VR was introduced at the Unpacked back in September, but we haven't heard much chatter on when we can expect to buy the device or how much. it will cost. One would think with the Holiday season approaching, that it would certainly be by the end of the year barring any production issues.

According to Samsung internal documents, we are looking at a release date of December 1st in South Korea with a price of 200,000 Won, which equates to about $187. Unfortunately South Korea is the only region mentioned, but we can only assume other areas will launch around the same time. As to the pricing, my guess was $199 for the U.S., which is inline.

Although the document could be fake, there is nothing here that seems ridiculous enough to question it.

Does the Gear VR excite any of you guys?

From the early 90’s through late 2011, he only owned Motorola phones starting with the MircroTAC all the way through to the Droid X. He broke that streak when he bought the Galaxy Nexus.

In his free time he enjoys sports, movies, TV, working out, and trying to keep up with the rapid fast world of technology.
