this samsung galaxy camera is available in france for £281 today!!! amazon france is cheaper than the uk and they all deliver for about 7.5£ to the uk from my experience of buying from amazon.de previously. the 281£ is after getting the samsung france 100euro cash back available to only those in france. So we in the UK are getting ripped off as most places it is 399£ and a bit less on amazon. Was just about to buy this now from amazon but cancelled purchase after seeing the amazon france price and cash back got pissed off as am not willing to pay nearly 120£ more than those in france for exactly the same camera.
Will wait now till prices crash here to the same level as in france.. see link yourself http://www.amazon.fr/Samsung-Galaxy...LA6I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1355314020&sr=8-2 and the cash back in france http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/imag...cs/mix/page-produits/2012_ODRGALAXYCamera.pdf
exchange rate used for calculation £1= 1.23777euros as per todays rate. amazon france price when i saw it now is 449 euros.
uploaded the same to youtube so that the video gets picked up by the tags along with other samsung galaxy camera videos. Hopefully the prices in the UK will fall too like in france and people interested in buying this may save 100euros like in france or there abouts. I have written to samsung UK by uploading my review on the samsung galxy camera webpage but guess it wont get posted there. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvzyu0CNyAQ
samsung customer service and public relations link
am linking the samsung public relations and customer service link http://www.samsung.com/uk/info/contactus.html for the uk. I have already written to them asking why as a customer in the UK i am being asked to pay £120 more than in france for the same product due to the lack of a samsung cash back scheme.
If others write to them at the public relations contact link then we might get the samsung cash back scheme here in the UK too like in france. So please take a few mins to write to them at the link above in case you are interested in buying the camera and want the same 100euro cash back in the the UK too.
my play list on youtube for this camera is here http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLGQqgL4AHFjKXgDtSJU7kQf_do0zLG4QN&feature=edit_ok with about 40 videos on it presently which prospective buyers might find useful
Just get my buddle in France for a very good price :

With the 100 euros back from Samsung you get the galaxy cam, 16gig memory card, one extra battery with the charger for 350 euros.
wow, Samsung is quite unfair in the UK.
in the Netherlands you get €100 cashback and a 1GB prepaid SIM if you get a galaxy camera, and in the UK you only get about €65 and you have to buy both a camera and a phone.
they are really trying to discourage people from claiming it though.
the promotions site, registration form, and tech support all say something different, and if the form doesn't print right away you have to fill it in again(I had to do it 5 times)
Bought the Samsung WB850F camera instead. It is also a Wi-Fi camera with remote view and mobile link apps. Similar zoom lens and sensor but not touch screen and not android but support for android phones is there. Half price now on amazon at £175 plus you get £50 Samsung cash back, so effectively costs £125 and £260 less than the Samsung Galaxy camera with same sensor and zoom lens and remote view and mobile link apps. So opted for the cheaper option and will tether it to my Samsung Galaxy note.
According to Samsung "Get the new Gear VR with Controller for free, plus Oculus content bonus when you pre-order the Galaxy S8 or Galaxy S8+". Excellent! Of course, whats extras w/o some hoops to jump through!

The promo is valid for GS8 or GS8 Plus orders placed between 3/30/2017 and 4/20/2017. Regardless of which bundle you do, you will have to submit proof of purchase to Samsung and wait for the promo items to show up. That could take a few weeks. Documents from the valid purchase period must be submitted by May 14th.
The only thing Samsung offered me in the UK with the upgrade programme was insurance
I wonder if the deal is region exclusive... It's definitely in the US & Canada for sure, but no idea on other regions.
last year was the same , then people start write to samsung and they give gear vr in uk as well if I remeber correctly
Last year you had a choice of the Gear S2 smartwatch or the Gear VR. There was a very limited number of the watches and I was one of the lucky ones to get one. I already had a Gear VR. I sold the watch for $175.00. There was also a little known promotion of a free Samsung 32gb SD card that I took advantage of.

My local costco is doing a pre-order bonus of the Gear VR, Gear remote, and Level U Pro wireless earbuds when you preorder galaxy s8 or s8+. If you want the earbuds aswell check them out.
if i remember from the note 7 promo it didnt take very long to receive the item. i got the 7 on reease day after preordering it and immediately filled out the necessary info and had my gear fit 2 in about a week.

Was that only for Verizon or can you get that same deal with the other carriers too? I did take a look at their site, and while I do know that you have to pre-order in the warehouse, I only saw Verizon's logo on the ad for it...
I already pre-ordered my phone at Best Buy, so if there's a better deal at Costco, maybe I could put an order there?

As far as I can tell from calling samsung, no GearVR is offered in the UK... That sucks!

I believe it is Verizon only unfortunately. Sams club offers the Gear VR + Controller and a $150 cash card to sams. Id rather buy it from there instead of the ~$44 headset from costco.

Yup the UK and Europe is obviously not that important to Samsung. I called them and was basically told that the Samsung marketing department made a strategic decision to push this only to the States. So now you know where we stand with that and probably with updates going forward

Yep, it is. I confirmed that when I went to Costco earlier today. :/ I don't have a Sam's club near me, so that's not even an option for me.
I wish such deals exist in the netherlands, you get nothing!

You have to submit it on Samsung Promotions AFTER you receive your device. Not 100% sure if you have to pay for the extra before you submit the rebate, or if it's an option when you try to redeem the promo and you'd pay then.
I have pre ordered mine with Vodafone UK, they didn't offer anything other than getting the phone a few days early.

It's disappointing that Samsung or the carriers offer any incentive really to pre-order. I would have like the charging stand/pad as a free option, or a large capacity high speed sd card for the phone!!

Last year in Greece samsung gave vr headset with preorder. This year give nothing!! Nice sammy!!
