Samsung Gear VR launches today in Canada

Samsung's popular and affordable Gear VR launched last month in the US, but Canadian residents had to wait an extra few weeks to buy. That's over with now: the device is available through Best Buy, The Source, and Samsung Experience stores across the promised land.

Now for the bad news: whereas Gear VR launched in the US with a cool $99.99 price tag, it's $139.99 in Canada due to the currently weak Canadian dollar.

Best Buy says quantities are limited; The Source's inventory is on backorder and estimates if you order now, your device will ship December 16 (just about in time for the big day, if you're lucky).
