Windows Mixed Reality headsets from Acer, Dell, and a few other OEMs all launched last month, but Samsung’s high-end headset was noticeably left out of the launch day picture. After being available for pre-order, the Samsung Windows Mixed Reality Odyssey went on sale today at the Microsoft Store but it’s already out of stock.

Priced at $499, the headset packs a fancy AMOLED display with a resolution of 2880 x 1600. This makes for a relatively better viewing experience when compared to the headsets from other manufacturers, which only have 1440×1440 resolution liquid crystal displays. Also unique to the Samsung headset is a pair of built-in AKG headphones.

Though out of stock at certain Microsoft Store online, interested buyers can try their luck by buying/reserving it online and then heading to a physical Microsoft Store to pick up the headset in person. Do you plan on buying a Mixed Reality headset this holiday season? Let us know below.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.
