Without a doubt, science fiction fans must have had a treat thanks to the launch of The 3-Body Problem series. For the moment, while waiting for confirmation of a season 2, the only good news that Netflix has been able to offer fans is the sale of the famous helmet present in the series: the opportunity to have a little piece program at home!
The cheapest virtual reality headset on the market… and the least functional
There are sometimes moments, watching a film or a series, when certain objects can capture our attention, to the point that we would do anything to acquire it and we already know where we could place it or expose it. Lately, with his science fiction series The 3-body problemNetflix has managed to awaken the collector fiber of some of the spectators. Among those who followed the series when it was released, there were quite a few who, as one might say, fell for the famous silver virtual reality headset. The height of happiness for these fans of collectibles: the VR headset from the series The 3-body problem is for sale!
Or rather: they are for sale! No, the headset in question is not a priceless example that can be bought at a high price but a nice little piece of vanity – it is, of course, not functional – for those who are passionate about cinema and who don’t want to break the bank. 140 euros is the price of this famous helmet, currently on sale on the online store of the streaming platform. Well, not exactly. Victim of its success, the helmet is out of stock but you still have the possibility to program an alert which will notify you of the availability of a copy.

The 3-Body Problem series becomes a very complex equation for Netflix
Casually, this out of stock is a nice little indicator of the popularity of the science fiction series adapted by Netflix, even if the scores seem below expectations. Yes, if you may not know, The 3-body problem is actually a series of works written by Chinese author Liu Cixin. These books are so important in Chinese literature that they are widely considered a true pillar of science fiction. ! If the books have managed to do well, the series will have to take the same path if it wishes to definitively make an impression.
We know that Netflix is not always very kind with its original programs and the platform sometimes does not hesitate to cancel them out of the blue. It is moreover one of the fears we had expressed about the series since confirmation of a second season is still awaited at present. This fear has notably gained in intensity, becoming almost palpable, since at the moment a version straight from China is overshadowing the Netflix program. On the one hand, because it is free and, on the other hand, because it turns out to be much more faithful than the adaptation commissioned by the American SVOD giant, to the point that all this could become a problem for the future of the series.
