Will the Gear VR with controller entice you enough to pre-order the S8 or S8 Plus?

[smalltowngirl13]

Will anybody be pre-ordering the S8 or the S8 Plus in order to obtain a Gear VR with controller? It appears that pre-orders have to placed by April 20th and I am sure that the "freebie" is limited. This means if the Gear VR will help to justify the new phone, you might want to act early as I am sure that supplies will be "limited"!

I'm a Costco member and they have a promotion for not on the VR deal but they include a few other things as well. If I didn't want either the S8+ or the Pixel XL I'd just get an S7 as they have a great deal going on right now with a cash card rebate plus some freebies.(and the much lower price)

Yes I preordered with Sam's Club, VR set up and $150 Gift card S8 Plus 64GB Silver. Color don't matter to me, Its going into a Orange and black case.

I was still quite happy with my S5 Active. it being 3 years old now I guess I got my moneys worth and it will be handed down though the family

I thought about getting it, but knew I would never use it again after a couple of days. So I passed on the offer.
