You'll have to be wearing the VR googles -- OnePlus is giving away 30,000 of them -- to get to the order form.

Gaze in and you might see a phone to buy: the OnePlus 3.

OnePlus

Ready and waiting to order a OnePlus 3 phone? You'll have to get in line -- virtually -- behind users of the company's Loop VR headset.

In a blog post Monday, OnePlus announced that it's giving away 30,000 Loop VR headsets until they run out and that OnePlus 3 orders will start in its VR store -- inside its virtual space station, which you need the headset to view, of course.

Why haven't you read anything about this before? The blog post explains: "Instead of speaking to a few members of the press, to be able to bring all of you together at the same time, and same place."
