;)
WATCH THE EXCLUSIVE FINAL TRAILER ONLY AT A BEST BUY NEAR YOU FROM 10/2 – 10/4 and be the first to try The Hunger Games Virtual Reality Experience and Mockingjay App.
From October 2-4, fans who visit the Samsung Experience Shops inside more than 1,000 Best Buy locations can view a never-before-seen final Mockingjay Part 2 trailer on the Galaxy Tab S2, get a sneak peek at an immersive The Hunger Games virtual reality experience with Samsung Gear VR and check out the exclusive new Mockingjay app. Additionally, consumers who purchase the Galaxy Tab S2 will be given a digital download of the first three films in the Hunger Games franchise
The Samsung Gear VR headset will be priced at $99 and work with the full slate of 2015 Samsung Galaxy phones: Galaxy Note 5, Galaxy S6 Edge+, S6 and S6 Edge. Lionsgate is partnering with Samsung and Oculus to bring The Hunger Games to Gear VR.
You can find a Best Buy near you on the Samsung website.
UPDATE: The Hunger Games Virtual Reality Experience in New York City:
In addition, During October 9-11, The Hunger Games Virtual Reality Experience (powered by Samsung) premieres in its entirety at an event in New York City. Fans will be taken on a 6-minute, 360-degree immersive journey through some of the defining moments of The Hunger Games film franchise using the Samsung Gear VR headset. The VR experience takes viewers through Katniss’ journey throughout the The Hunger Games series.
UPDATE: The Samsung Presence at the MockingjayPart 2 Premiere in Los Angeles:
Also noted in a press release on 9/29/15: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 2 will have its US premiere in Los Angeles November 16th. On the red carpet, Samsung will have an exclusive fan bleacher section to reward "certain Galaxy owners" and The Hunger Games fans with experiencing the premiere.
This sounds to us like the L.A. premiere will be the same protocol as last year: no fan camp, possibly an opportunity for fans to access the premiere via Samsung contests, owners opportunities, purchases, or a line-up the day of the premiere. We will update you with any confirmation as we get it.
We will be at a Best Buy location bright and early on Friday AM, of course.
What do you think, tributes?

NOT AGAIN!! :( It got leaked last time and it was really bad quality. And we had to wait a week I think.
Lousy promo. Not relevant for many. The pin/poster/tix code was much better. People are complaining only in the US and limited BUT it is a franchise written and and produced here. Not so much a problem with it being in the US only as to what they are promoting. The app might be cool but the other stuff was better IMO.
I'm hoping we'll get more details from Lionsgate on the experience soon. I will update here as soon as I find out anything re: giveaways at the stores.
Then why show the movie in other countries if it's made in USA? Why where they promoting the movie with three finger salute posters in other countries? It doesn't make sense... And yeah, it will probably get leaked in lq which is the worst..
One question, If my best buy doesn't have it then what can I do? Just wondering.
My initial reaction is, "Sneaky way to force people into Best Buy..." xD For me, determining whether it's worth going there depends on how long I have to wait for it to go online. Although of course I'm curious about this "virtual experience/app" thing. Which I assume will then be made generally available after the 4th? Pluuuus, Samsung is also supposed to be sponsoring that "Hunger Games Tribute" fandom awards thing, which now is looking as though they decided against holding...so disappointing! I was really confident in all my nominee votes. =[
I too will be there on the 2nd. Right next to the plaza I work in so it will be no major effort. I did like last years promo much better though. I'd love a pin again or more ticket codes.
