Gear VR Promotion Success/Failure Thread: please post whether you are successful ...

How can you? I went to the occulus site and it was all ads except the download page. I downloaded the apk for occulus and signed up for an account. I didn't see anything about free game bundle either on the site or app.

I'll try to find it again... It was posted on a forum in ac... I think it was on the developer site

Sent from my Adamantium™ S7 edge

Once I created my account and verified my email, I put on the VR and it immediately took me to the six games and asked me if I wanted to download some or all of them. I skipped downloading them because I don't play any games on my phone but they were there. They also showed up under purchases I think it was called when you use the VR.

You should just automatically have them once you create your account.

I created my oculus account. Did the whole setup (needed to download the app/etc) then it went to Oculus Home. Well we'll see what Oculus support says.

Finally showed up in fedex!!! Shipping out of Plainfield should expect it here by 4/05, Tuesday! No word on my second one yet. Unless 2.3 lbs is the weight of two? Submitted claim both on 3/11.

It;s dark grey and comes with wireless charger and an extra watch band - it is larger and twice as thick as the regular BT version..... View attachment 223139

Larger as in what? I get the thick part .. but larger screen, or?

 

[Dubzgb]

The 3g version has a 300mh battery vs the 250mh on the bluetooth version. the body of the watch is thicker because of the battery and the esim in the watch

I haven't compared the individual specs but either the bezel and/or screen is larger(diameter) on the 3g version than the bluetooth version.... when I place both watches face to face the circumference on the 3g is slightly larger.... not something you would recognize if they were sitting side by side on a table but once you size them up w/ each other you can see the difference.

It is slightly larger. When I ordered a glass screen protector for my s2 for when it arrives, they had two options; one for the Bluetooth and one for the 3g/4g cause the 3g/4g is larger so I guessed and got the larger one and thankfully got it right. But anyways a few posts back, people are posting they ordered on 3/11 and theirs has a label created! Wth I ordered 3/10 and nothing.

I'm still pending from 3/9 , no label

Still pending from 3/10.

[RE: S2 / VZW / Sub'd 3/10 pm]

Whoa. Finally some action - not on the status page (which continues to show the yawning "Approved - pending shipment") - but on the Fedex Delivery Manager. Label created. Alleged scheduled delivery of 4/6. Now, apparently that doesn't mean I'll get it on the 6th, but there's a frigging package headed this way someday!

I've had a label since 3/30, but no updates since.

I received both of my Gear VRs today - got 2 S7 Edges with T-Mobile's BOGO on 03/11 in the store, and registered with Samsung for the giveaway that day. I also received and have applied the Netflix codes for both. Now paying one of them off and selling it as soon as I get the gift card for the balance.

 

[GadgetGator]

Got both my gear VR units a few days ago on Friday through Costco. Really quick. Took only 6 days from when I mailed the forms off!

 

[fbebbs]

If you create the Fed Ex delivery Manager profile does the notification automatically populate once a label is created with your address?

You can open the Oculus app on your phone and go to your library. Under not installed, it should list the six games.:

Yea, that's disappointing. But if you haven't had a label and you get a label, it's exciting. I've been skeptical of the S2 watch deliveries actually happening for many of us because of the 30k limit in the terms and conditions *and* initially the promo site didn't even list the watch *and* the terms really write away any obligation they have to send anything at all. It all seemed a little sketchy. But it looks like I was wrong, which is great. I hope every frigging person who submitted for the S2 through the 18th gets one... as they should based on the hefty marketing on the VZW site that seemed like a 1:1 guarantee (buy this -> get this).

 

[giannifiore7]

Still very odd to me that I submitted on 3/10 and still have the "Submission Approved, Preparing for Shipment, Shipping Date Estimate: Pending" message and some people who have submitted on 3/12 for instance have ship dates.

 

[compddd]

I applied for two $100 Samsung gift codes, got one of them so far plus my two Netflix codes. Hoping to use the two Samsung GCs for a new laser printer + Samsung fast charge version of their wireless charging stand.
