Why you might want to wait a bit before shelling out $ 199 for the virtual reality headset
It pays to read the fine print, folks, though we’ll forgive you if you didn’t. (And even a few of us here had to check this one again.) We’ve had some folks ask us about the new Samsung Gear VR virtual reality headset not working with their Samsung Galaxy Note 4 on Verizon or Sprint, for starters. And while that’s certainly not a good thing — if you can buy the headset it certainly should work — we did have warning. Tucked at the very end of this week’s press release announcing the Gear VR availability was this pretty major caveat:
Software updates required for Galaxy Note 4 based on carrier availability.
That, perhaps, should have been a little higher up.
