If you’ve been eyeing the purchase of a new Galaxy smartphone from Samsung, the company is hoping to draw you in with a free Gear VR headset.

As part of a new Father’s Day initiative, Samsung is offering a free Gear VR headset with the purchase of a smartphone. The company’s free offer also includes $150 worth of a “VR experience” software, so you’ll get plenty to do on the new headset, too. Samsung says the offer will only be available for as long as supplies last, so if you’re in the market for a new phone and want to try VR, acting quickly might be a good idea.

To get the Gear VR headset, you’ll need to buy one of Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones, including: the Galaxy S6, Galaxy S6 edge, Galaxy S6 edge+, Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, and the Galaxy Note 5.

Do you plan on taking advantage of the Father’s Day deal?
