Here's how to download oculus app and your 6 game bundle while you wait for your VR to ship.
Download Nova launcher
Select widgets menu from home screen
Select activities
Select gear VR setupwizardstub
Tap the new widget
Create oculus account
Download the list of VR apps
Download your free 6 game bundle
Wait impatiently for your VR to come in the mail
*make sure Facebook and all vr services are enabled before you start.
I've initiated the downloads, but have yet to confirm my 6 game bundle, which is extremely hard to find any information on...
What are the 6 games by the way?
Lands end
Deer hunter
Ocean rift
Mortal blitz
Keep talking and nobody explodes
And hero something lol
Once you download all the vr stuff and open oculus store it will prompt you to download your free games. They should also show in your purchase history

Ocean Rift
Lands End
Mortal Blitz VR - Escape the Darkness (Episode 1)

I have different games
strange I guess they have more than one bundle and it's a crap shoot as to which ones you get
Well I can't find any free games. Is this an only us promo with the games? I got the free gear vr but can't download the apps (maybe I had Facebook disabled when I first connected to the vr store over an week ago. Any way to get them now?)
T-Mobile S7 Edge games for me. Not sure the budle is just different for each provider. I already paid for gunjack so that sucks.

They should be at the bottom, and you need to be logged into the S7. I tried downloading my games on my friends Note 5 and they didn't appear.
Also if anyone's curious (and for Google when it crawls this page), the Samsung Gear VR headset promotion is shipping through FedEx

We are in the same boat. I tried everything to get those 6 free games but not available. I am in Turkey. I have opened a support ticket with oculus and we came to a point where i had to post a proof of purchase of my device to get the games. Because everything i was asked to try didn't help me getting the free 6 bundle games. I will let you know about the result.
Hehe ok this i also see the first time. Never got any free games but the preorder bundle with vr. Btw i have purchased most of them in the meantime :/ so i could have saved a lot of money. Looking at the gameplay of most games available atm it is horrible... this 'look to go' thing really bores me... but even with the gamecontroller i also bought from samsung, there are only a few good games right now...
Thanks for the share,
I'm in 'impatient' mode waiting for my VRgear to come.
I'm gonna give it a try tonight!

okay thank you! i hope we get the free games too.
I received the vr yesterday. created an account on occulus, but no free bundle availaible at all. I guess it only for US. It not working for canada.
I've tried last night!
It's working
But the download is a bit slow. I think Oculus/Samsung's server is a bit overloaded right now..

I think I'll actually only play maybe two of the free games I got. I already had a VR and bought GunJack. Great game but seems to lag a little bit compared to when I played it with the Note 5. Would be nice if you could get another game if you already have one of the free games.

Be careful when purchasing from Gameloft, save your .apk files. If you decide to install another rom or change phones in the future, they do not allow you to download the file again without having to purchase it again.

True definitely save the Apk.
from the Gameloft website
I deleted my game, can I download it again?
Gameloft's policy is that if you buy a game, you can re-download it on the same device with the same phone number within the 90 days of your purchase. To re-download your game, go to http://gameloft.com on your mobile and click on the 'My Downloads' link at the bottom of the page. You will see the list of all the games you purchased so far that you can re-download. If you purchased your game on our website on your pc using your credit card, enter the 'My Account' section at the top of this page and re-download your game(s) after signing in.
Keep in mind you will be charged for any data fees your carrier may charge for downloading your games.

Since this is already a thready about gaming.. Other than Emulators does anyone know of any games that support keyboard commands or bluetooth game controllers?
I figure at least with keyboard commands you could map it to the controller.
it would be great to to just need a micro HDMI and bluetooth controller to play games on any TV with an HDMI input.
I'm waiting for the datel Wii retro wireless controller to show up in the mail. Its cheap,has bluetooth built in so I wont need a nunchuck, & used the BlueputDroid app.

the title says free OR site.
only one person as far as I see has posted a link to a site that is "free" every other place talked about here is a legit pay site and no one has asked for any "free" or Pirate sites
the legit sites listed so far are
https://market.android.com/
https://market.android.com/details?...nvidia&utm_medium=site&utm_campaign=tegrazone
http://www.amazon.com/mobile-apps/b?ie=UTF8&node=2350149011
and the 2 that don't offer free trials
http://www.eamobile.com/android
http://www.gameloft.com/download-games/android-games/
this is the Datel I am waiting on, I like that it doesnt need the nunchuck like the factory wii controller
this is where I ordered from
http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Retro-Wireless-Controller-Nintendo/dp/B001ULJGDU
for those interested DONT buy this from Ioffer.com they sent me an Email telling me the seller I was about to buy from was a scammer.

That is not true. I bought Nova and Gangstar back when the EVO came out last year and I just re-downloaded both of those games from gameloft's site. When it asks you what device you're using you just need to select whatever device you purchased it on at the time. Also saving your apk won't do you much good because when I tried installing my saved apk on my G2X, when it got to the in-game download it would not allow it. I had to re-download the apk from their site. SN: re-downloading Nova worked whereas re-downloading Gangstar worked, but the game didn't run correctly (had a lot of white squares everywhere).
i bought Xperia Play week ago.
and i dont have a lot of games.
so maybe can someone upload some games please ?

So.... you're asking for warez..... which is a no-no here
Slide open the controller click that little market button on the top right, or click "More games" theres plenty of choices for you to buy.
AHHHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I just opened this post and it was so lol... Thought he was actually going to talk about the Game pack that comes with the Official Dock but no... Just some noob wanting free stuff.
Someone should make a game-looking file that will actually brick his play with a black screen of death & the words "This is what your Xperia Play is worth if you pirate games".
Teach the little prick a lesson !!

If you click that link and choose Sony Ericsson R800 (or in my case R800x) you'll see them. Its the two I bought, Spiderman, and one other I can't remember (site is blocked at work so I can't check).

when i click my phone then enter my mobile number it only shows the link of the game on their slideshow banner not the 4 games that is on sale..
and if i click the link they send at me, all games are still 3$ each, is it because the promo is not available in my country?
i bought 7 or 8 games from gameloft all for 3$ each, too bad i missed this promo, anyway, why i can't see eternal legacy on my list? even dungeon hunter 2.. is it because also those games are not available on my country?

Hmm maybe its a US only thing. Its possible some games are not available in your country too. When you choose your phone did you try scanning the QR code that comes up on the screen? Thats how I got them.

You can find the games by a simple search on Google, but I recommend buying the games and supporting the developers.

Not available in Canada apparently. The "0.99" thing goes away when you switch the country to Canada and the link they give you is just a link to their online store.
No no. It was for android. I got nova and asphalt.

These games can be downloaded onto the XPlay if they are linked to your PSN account, right? Sorry if I am being a noob.
How do you get the 2 games, all I see is a page that tells me I have a voucher for each one, but nothing else, it just says, download at playstation.com/mobile or something...no code, and nowhere to get the codes from?!?

To use PSM you need a PSN account. Once you redeem the games they'll be available for download at PSM. You can redeem the games here.

the other ones I have, like PS+, and music unlimited, but they aren't anywhere to be found.
