At Google Inc.’s event last month the company launched its Daydream View virtual reality headset, which officially goes on sale next week, on Nov. 10.

The Daydream View, which costs just $79, will likely make it tempting for all users and not just VR fanatics. Microsoft Corp. has also set its sights on offering more affordable VR headsets. While not as cheap as the Daydream View, Microsoft announced last week at its Windows 10 event that it would offer VR headsets from several hardware manufacturers, including Asus, Dell, and Lenovo starting at $299.

Here’s a look at where you can purchase your Daydream View, as well as the various VR experiences, including movies and games, you will get to enjoy with the Daydream.
