Barely two months after it was first released, Google’s Daydream View is already on sale on the Google Store — that is if you live in the U.S. The mobile VR headset normally sells for $79USD, but from now until February 25th you can pick one up for $49USD from Google’s online Store.
In case you’re unfamiliar with Daydream, it’s Google’s virtual reality platform for mobile devices. Consisting of an app, the Daydream View headset which comes with a controller, and a Daydream-compatible phone, users can experience 360° videos, photos, games, apps, and much more. Even companies like Netflix have released apps that let you watch Netflix content in a virtual living room for when you’re at home or on the bus or a flight somewhere. As mentioned, you’ll need a Daydream-compatible smartphone, and right now it’s a pretty short list. Google’s Pixel and Pixel XL smartphones are at the top of the list, as well as the Moto Z and Moto Z Force, Axon 7, and the upcoming ZenFone AR.
The Daydream View is actually pretty comfortable and works quite well (check back for our full review soon), and $50 is a pretty sweet price point for it. Unfortunately, this deal is for U.S. customers only, as seems to be par for the course for most Google hardware sales.
