I believe this is an in-store price because it is more online. This is supposed to be an excellent controller for use with the GVR. It's normally $59.99. Not all stores carry this so check online before venturing out. Here's the SKU: 1883244.

I just bought it for that much in the store about an hour ago. Here's the web link for the online price. If you are hesitant please call ahead for pricing:

From what I've read, B-mode is best for non Moga games.

Called my Best Buy and they said it's been discontinued so it can only be bought in store. Bummer

Checked and called within 50 miles near me and they've all said the same thing. I even showed them your post and they said they've discontinued it. :/

probably not going to show inventory online but might luck out by going and walking through the store, what section do they keep them in? gaming? or cellular
Well they may be mistaken about the discontinue as they have them advertised for sale online and my best buy had 4.

They usually have a small hook of them by the phone cases and an end display between console games and computer accessories, depending on store layout. Your best bet would be to go for the Power Pro (same generation, but "premium") on Amazon or somewhere that has it discounted. It is far more comfortable and still fits into the Gear VR bag by propping it in the area meant for the Sammy one.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/power-a...ices/1883244.p?id=1219066387956&skuId=1883244 <- That is what comes up for the SKU. They are $36.99 and it is the Moga Hero, so chances are they will not price match based on a rumor. Usually discontinued items are marked or regular price on the site, not on sale.
The Hero line is known for being problematic. They do some interesting things with the buttons, such as sending out buffer codes. It is not something you may see as an end user, so long as the apps you use it with have accounted for use with the Hero.
If the controller didn't work for you, that may work to your advantage. Before returning it, it is a good idea to contact Moga. Moga doesn't do recalls, they discontinue the controller and then do warranty replacements for a similar item. They have done the same thing with their console controllers and you can buy a $30 PS3 controller and with one phone call a week or so of waiting, come out with a $60 Xbox controller.
My thoughts on the Hero are not based on experience with the Gear VR specifically, they are based on experience with designing the controller interface for an emulator. Moga releases a general plug-in for Unity, so chances are using it with the Gear VR exclusively will never present the issues. The plugin for Android as a whole requires you design a separate interface just for the Hero, which unless you use their SDK, is when you begin to notice the eccentricities.

You're better off waiting for a sale on the Power Pro or praying it's broken out of the box. Moga tends to cut all ties to discontinued hardware, but their warranty repair is to replace it with a current model.

What?!
Mine works fine and for $24 is a steal. I really can't be worried about "continued support". I mean, it's a controller - how much support does it need? You turn it on, you press the buttons, boom boom. Don't think I'll be calling support for a walk-through. *SMH*
My BestBuy had 3 flavors, the Pro, an iPhone model and this one. They sold them in the mobile section. The Pro version was very expensive and not on sale. The online inventory thing did show they had these in 3 stores in my region.
The problem with "waiting on a Pro version sale" is waiting on a Pro version sale. Are you willing to wait months (if ever) just to save a few bucks on a controller? Kind of ridiculous plan assuming you actually want a controller anytime soon.

I prefer not to run out and buy something because I saw one thread about it on xda. That is how you end up with $200 in hardware that you have to post all over xda bashing. It is better to be absolutely sure it is the device you want, not just the one that was on sale. Whether or not you want to be impatient is your discretion. I am only providing the info I found through a lot of research before I bought the Moga Power Pro that has stuck with me through three devices.
Other cheap but extremely well-rated controllers that do not require special software:

http://www.gamestop.com/android/acc...6-idroid-con-bluetooth-game-controller/106526
http://buy.thegameklip.com/
And here is the Hero Power with a regular price of $33 on Amazon. Obviously you aren't missing a great sale if you wait a week to see if the other one goes on sale first.
http://www.amazon.com/POWER-MOGA-Pro-Electronic-Games-Game/dp/B00FB5RBJM
Thanks for links. Those are all significantly more expensive than the model discussed in the OP and the last one isn't even a controller at all, it's a clip.

This somewhat makes me regret getting a Nook two months ago, since someone will definitly port Android to it.
Its too bad, webOS had major potential. Hope this gets more people aware of it and makes HP change their minds about the thing or decide to at least licence the OS.

walked into BestBuy paid $399 for 16GB, assured that 100% refund 30 days or full price-match 14 days (knowing possibly/likely $99 tomorrow).
checked it out in store, will never replace NC, TouchPad screen inferior, but irresistible $99 to try out 1.2Ghz dual-core Scorpion / Adreno 220 GPU / 10" IPS.
EDIT: will update with efforts at price-match tomorrow (08/20/2011).

Besides, the dirt cheap price and the very decent hardware make it hardware that's going to sell out its inventory fast. And those who own them are going to want a modern, up to date OS once HP officially pulls the plug on the software side of things.

well that sealed it im getting the touchpad.
Well I got my shipping info yesterday, and have yet to receive any update on ups of it being actually shipped.
So I call ups and asked what was going on, and why would they say delivery date of the 16th if I have seen it ship yet.
The rep said once it ships the delivery date will update to most likely to Tuesday.
Sorry to bring bad news but I just wanted to give a heads up.
I am pissed I could have bought it from Sam club cheaper and no shipping cost. I wish Google would have said retail stores would have it same time. This makes we want to dump Google and go to Apple and iOS full time.

Don't be so dramatic. Ordering from Google didn't guarantee that you get yours before anyone else. If you're getting angry over having to wait a couple of extra days, then Android is probably better off without you.
(For the record, I'm still likely to get mine even later than you get yours)
I ordered way back on the 27th from the Play store but still ran out yesterday and picked one up from a b+m store anyways. Wanted to be able to play with it over the weekend. When mine comes from Play, I'll either return this one or sell it to a buddy.
It will be worth the wait, I can assure you. This thing is all sorts of amazing.
I don't mind the wait that doesn't upset me I am upset because if they had stated retail stores would have it same week I would have bought it from there and saved shipping costs even if it was same price and now Sams club has it 20 bucks cheaper and with tax that is 40 bucks or so off.

Google could screw up 100 times over and I still would not jump over to Apple. Yes I'm pissed that I pre-ordered early from the Play store and yes GameStop pre-orders are already in their grubby hands but I will have my tablet by mid next week. Do I want to trade a few days waiting or jump over to sue happy Apple? Apple would rather kill everyone then release new/better products. The next iPhone will have the same design for 2 years minimum and the same screen size for another 5 years. And I'm not giving those bastards 30% of my app purchases just to blow it in the court room. I sold my iPad 3 two weeks ago and I have no regrets in doing so.
There's absolutely no need for yet another thread about orders/deliveries - there are stickies where you can discuss such matters.

Just finished watching the Playstation Gamescom conference and when they got around to the Playstation Mobile segment I was pleasantly surprised to find that Sony has partnered with Asus to bring Playstation Mobile to Asus devices. Though with the Nexus 7 being the official Google tablet it only makes sense really. I look forward to playing Crash Bandicoot, Tekken, Driver, Syphon Filter and MediEvil on my Nexus 7 in the future
It was also said that if you buy something on one device it will be available to ALL your PS certified devices, for anyone out there who has a Sony phone or a PS Vita or for some reason, one of those unfortunately horrible looking Sony tablets ><
Haha sounds awesome. Do you have a link where we could read more?
I wonder if it will apply to the Nexus 7 though. It's really a Google device manufactured by ASUS.

The game would be likely optimized for our devices. I don't think tegra3 optimized, but updated for newer more powerful processors. So the same game should run better natively than on emulator. But FPse emulator with open gl plugin looks great.
Looking forward to this partnership. Almost positive this includes nexus 7 also. Since its made by Asus. Being partnered with Google doesn't negate that.

And it is mostly 1st generation games... or possibly up to "some" PS2 games down the line... although, some original "titles" for PS Mobile could be interesting...
But if you are looking for PSX games... I think you will be better off with FPSE emulator.

At least Sony were honest and upfront about it, yet the press still raped them over it. Nobody ever lost any money or details on the PSN hack, it all turned out to be blown out of all proportion. There was no CC fraud, Sony never stored CC numbers, and no rise in identity fraud was ever seen as a result of it.

Thank goodness I don't store my CC on Xbox as well. Security breaches happens all the time, thats not the point of this thread. I was just stating that I have not tried any of the games yet because I don't have one on file. I do see that PSN has redeem vouchers like Xbox, so I might get one so I could get some games.
So, I don't know how many of you are aware of the new Game Pad that Samsung made for the SGS 4, but it looks pretty damn good, and i want one for my Note II.
What do you think?

Looks pretty good, kinda reminds me of the PhoneJoy Play. I don't like how they've completely ripped off the Xbox 360 controller's buttons though.
To be honest, I think I'd rather get a Gameklip and a Dualshock 3 as this could be used on PC too (not to mention the PS3), is probably more future-proof and has proven ergonomics, etc.

The price should be below $50, i hope.
I'm sure it's going to be just fine, if it will allow devices up to 6.3 inches to be used with it.
Think about it, that's quite some weight, so it'll have to be able to handle it.

The xperia play is smaller then any "good" controller are the market and I like that it doesnt kill my phone battery while I'm playing it. Got it for 80 bucks... hell of a deal imo.
I wouldn't expect to ever see this on the market as is. Those buttons are going to take it straight into litigation land from Microsoft.
That's retarded if they charge that much for this 360 pad clone. Most they should cost is 40 considering not all games on android will work on it. I'd rather spend the $60-100 on a more quality product such as the icontrolpad2 which has the gamepad ± keyboard plus better design imho.

Thanks for the link mate, that DOES look nice!
Well, if the SGS 4 Game Pad will be so expensive, i guess the icontrolpad 2 will look like a better deal.
well according to phonearena and gsmarena its $113 :banghead:
this much price not worth for me

Anyone getting the Gear VR in early December? I see they released a time frame, 2 different options of goodies today. $199 for just the headset and $249 for headset, controller, unspecfied goodie.
Have you downloaded the mobile SDK and installed it on your phone yet? Have started developing games with unity yet?
I have every intention of getting this.
You can pre order on mobilefun for over a month now, but the price is higher then the one there saying. Don't even say if it includes the controller or the goodie.
VR Gear is one of the reasons I got Note 4 no Note Edge.

You my friend took the words from my mouth
Keep me in the loop
Anyone know where and when you can buy the Gear VR - am I correct in assuming it doesn't require a data plan like a cellphone.
Samsung's site has a signup to get notified on release. This was the reason I got the Note 4. Not over any phone, but in general. Both my Nexus 5 and iPhone 5S were fine lol
It seems installing the SDK gets you to a "You need to update" screen that goes... nowhere.

Head over to oculus and watch the oculus connect video (kinda long winded) but they talk about a update will be pushed for all carriers, possible directly from Samsung. Also there's a separate sign-up page besides the notifies page. It let's you sign up saying you will buy the Oculus Gear VR Inovator Edition, since it's actually not consumer grade technology. This will be the first release, kinda like the DK2,even though samsung is posting it like it's consumer grade. Oculus says different though. Saying it's more for enthusiasts and developers until it's more perfected. Like having a postioning tracker and such.
OK here's the link to a different registration then the one directly on samsung website. This is after you go to oculus website and then click the link. It says in the bottom that is only available for people that order the note 4 between 11-1-14 and march of next year. Wtf. My AT&T version was bought before November 1st but my T-Mobile was bought after November 1st. Wonder if they mean for something else, even though they have a astrick next to the drop down and next to text at bottom like they go together.

I have an Oculus developer account. I'm saying the update isn't available yet so all the apps do is tell you you need the update.
BTW the dates are for the "Black Friday starts now" promotion. It's a little weird to think they restricted headset orders to only those with purchases two weeks after release. The asterisk is for "required field"

You should tell them over in FireKat because he is telling his users there is no point to the update.

It may have changed, but that was last I saw. I try not to venture into the ROMs too often unless someone mentions the kernels I make
Nope.he don't want rebase

I figured. Well at least he knows. At the end of the day, though, his ROM is his ROM and he'll spend more time telling you why he won't do something than it would take to copy over the files into the next build,
I'll probably get one from Best Buy, and not return it only if I'm still in love with it after a few weeks. The novelty of Google Cardboard wore off pretty quickly for me.

Well that's noble. If you want the headset but not the expense, try Durovis Dive. $60
Ordered mine yesterday should be here tomorrow. I start reading some mobile news sites today and it says that the VR is "only" working on the ATT note 4 as of now and you will have to wait for a carrier update on other providers for it to work with their Note 4's. WHAT KINDA CRAP IS THIS? I hate carriers and their branded roms. So now im going to have a paperweight till tmobile decides to send out an OTA update for it to work with my Note 4????

Not true. I know someone that has the vr on the note 4 on t mobile as we speak. Also you had vrsetupwizard since the update before NK4. I have gear all setup up and waiting for arrival.
