Well they did it with the KS hmds. So maybe not good to risk a rerun of history.

Oh. Huh… interesting. Thought it came with the 42PPD as well.
MAYBE they’re allowing people to CHOOSE (For Free) the 2nd lens set once they have their mythical wider FoV lens ready to go. shrug
Hehe. He has a really nice personality going for him it seems. So it’s hard not to like the guy. But man, aren’t his video’s becoming like interchangeable? He just needs to use a different name for the headset, the rest of the video is always the same “Wooow, oh wowww, incredible, best ever, this is REALLY nice etc”. 
I totally believe the headsets visuals are the best out there. But I don’t believe that the only real disadvantage is the weight … It’s always the same with his video’s, first video is like “best headset ever”, then 2nd is “oh yeah, well there’s also some problem, here, there etc”
It’s come to the point that I can’t take his video’s very serious anymore. Too bad because, like said, he seems just such a nice guy.

He does confirm the FoV is a few degrees less than index. So if index 108 wide the 103 looks to be still current as losing 2.5° left and right would be quite small.
Either way says smallee than index so not 125° wide.

Anyway is the NDA now over? And have units been shipped? I just tried to find info on discord but the whole reason I never really liked discord is exactly that: so hard to find info, you need to scroll and scroll and then scroll some more and STILL no info

I think there’s another week to go.
Hmm but what does the NDA then mean if Sebastian can already make a video with his first conclusions? It’s just so confusing. But oh well, pretty much everything always is with Pimax
BTW it seems that not a single final unit has been shipped yet to regular customers, that’s what I understand now from discord. At least no one has been able to report a tracking number.
I don’t think they can talk about the stuff that’s not enabled like eye tracking, stand-alone, wireless.
@SmallBaguette would be better to answer this one.

While it should end in a week or 2? We may see history repeat on the m1. Confusing & pimax often go hand in hand.
There recent video said in a week. But pimax version of time is often interesting.

Yeah, that’s correct. 2 weeks or so and the NDAs will be up, so can talk freely then.

When you look back on Pimaxes Ready List from Dec22 they stated…
How 4 months later does Crystal ship with auto IPD unready???

But why then is Sebastian allowed to post his ‘first impressions’ and others like yourself are not allowed to talk about them? Or what do I miss here? Or are you only allowed to say positive things?

I think anyone with the Retail version is considered public but those who received the beta units and included in the Beta group are under NDA.

Ok I guess that would make sense. Kind of. Like in a Pimaxian way I mean did the headsets then change in this short time that there was between beta testers and youtubers getting their headsets? Regarding the plastic lenses, if that’s the issue then yes, it would actually make sense. But then this would imply that within 2 weeks the beta testers will have their final lenses too?
Or is it like “anybody can put out info out there but it has to be verified and approved by pimax first” in which case Pimax would have needed to approve sebastian’s video in which case obviously he wouldn’t have been able to put much criticism in his video? I guess if that’s the real reason we’ll never know.
As pretty much always with Pimax I guess nobody knows what’s really going on and all anybody can do is speculate …

I could be wrong on this. I have to find the source.
I think now as it stands, it’s just one needs to pre-order before June in order to get the DMAS.
So, I just wanted to correct this just in case I was incorrect. But for some reason I could have sworn there was some interview or question regarding it that said one has to pay in full the amount for the Crystal by end of June.
They may have fixed the website. Hmmm
Sorry if this has misled anyone.
Honestly you’re putting too much thought into this. Anything could change in 4 weeks.
Anything could change, but something or nothing will. 
Put it another way I bet we’ll see another
I bet the DMAS Blue will become the DMAS black in a few weeks.
I bet the 42PPD lens will get dropped as soon as the new wide FOV gets released.
That’s a MAJOR change! It’ll shake up the industry! 
If we get virtual desktop, then the 42PPD makes sense, doesn’t it?
