The Gear VR headset was introduced back in September and were sold through AT&T and Samsung online marketplaces during the holiday season. Sales for the headset were never released, but if AT&T being sold out for sometime and Best Buy putting it on its online store recently are any indication, the Gear VR sold very well.
The Best Buy run will be a more mainstream showcase for the headset compared to previous showings mainly at tradeshows. The only downside here is that the Gear requires the Galaxy Note 4 meaning that it’s not entirely mainstream.
Samsung Experience Shops are in several states and Puerto Rico, but you’ll still need to check with a store to confirm if there will be Gear VR demos. You can check the Gear VR demo page to see if is a location nearby.
