I told a bunch of friends in November that sometime in January or February I was going to throw a VR party for them all to try out the latest and greatest 8KX. With the Covid slowing things down a month, I said possibly April. I then revised it saying hopefully in June. Then that got changed to July. Now it’s August. If they haven’t even gotten one 8KX out yet I’m seriously thinking September now. 
- and that’s if I’m lucky. At this point they all just laugh and joke about it.

I also intend to set up a demo for friends one weekend when it’s finally safe to do do, most of whom don’t game, let alone game in VR. But I never set even an estimated date, I knew that would be pointless

As long as you didn’t specify which year, you should be OK.

Over/Under on Pimax actually making this new date?
Last time I shared VR with a friend he punched my 5k+ off his head. It was a close call! Choose your friends and games wisely…

Oh yeah, I purposely stick people in slow moving games for their first time because of that. Had friends run/jump straight into the wall with my old Vive a few times LOL

I’m thinking that playing in bare feet and defining the play area with an area rug or foam mat would help. Then you just stop moving if you feel that you’ve stepped off of the play area. The rug boundary should be 1 step smaller than the room limit with your arms out-stretched.
If that doesn’t work, sprinkle some Legos around the rug boundary.

I am sure you will get a summary of some kind afterwards, either from Pimax or in the forum.
Just skip the show then.
No, the joke is the delay in delivering the substantial deliveries! That has made not only me quite angry at times, combined with the Kafka-esque communication policy of Pimax.
However, about the free stretchgoal of three pieces of content - seriously: what on Earth did you expect we would get ? Three triple-A titles developed exclusively for Pimax ?! You have to look at it in context of what the other stretchgoals already were promising and what one can reasonably expect a company to provide under the circumstances. If looking at the stretchgoals in total, they actually were quite generous, wouldn‘t you agree ? At leadt, if we ever receive them…

I like the LEGO idea 
I actually have a decent sized space and use a big square carpet as a boundary, but it didn’t help with a few people who were super immersed. One friend literally dived for cover but forgot he was playing a game in a room LOL

Yepp, certain developers of an excessively successful Battle Royal game who have a game shop to promote have certainly raised the expectation bar when it comes to giveaways. But even there none was VR capable out of the box up to now.
The best content-per-money VR bundle was probably the one Humble bundle offered a few months ago. They likely have a pretty good negotiation position though with their volumes and the bundle stategy. That would have been genious from Pimax: Buying each person who pledged one of these Humble Bundle packages! But that was hard to foresee I guess…
@PimaxUSA @PimaxQuorra Why do you guys think you can get away with just posting an announcement about Pimax Now event being delayed to June 29th but not posting any news about 8K-X production progress and whether you’ve shipped a single 8K-X yet? I.e weekly update. You were supposed to start shipping a week or two ago!
