While I do not have the consumer release, it's shipping,
I can tell you that it is as good as you will get right now.
Why it is the best out there right now is because GEAR VR is the only device that can deliver less than 20ms latency in the display rates that prevent VR sickness and make it very natural viewing when looking around in the media.
While google cardboard and android phone will do the job to show what VR is,
cardboard and others are not a really good demo of what it can and will be by those that are making sure the product is correct before release. No cell phone except the Samsung Note 4 will give you that display rate. Will change soon enough. Next is Galaxy s5.
While it is limited for what you can do in the way of games,
because of the GPU of a cell phone. It is great to view any 3D media and super fantastic to view 3D media that was designed for VR
(3D-360-pano-sheric imagery... ie video and photo).
It will be the dominate mobile device for at least the next 6 months anyway.
I expect new GPU's for VR mobile in late 2015-2016. So it will be a great gaming unit soon enough. Lots of money in mobile gaming.
