Waiting. Still.

At this rate, the pre-sales will be available before the backers get theirs. If I calculate the interest I wouldā€™ve earned on the amount I paid for my pledge, it would add up to more than if I waited for the release version cost. :angry:

So according to the latest spreadsheet, the 8K Iā€™m still waiting for has finally been built. Probably still needs to be qcā€™d and be sent on it merry way.
Is it just me or is anyone else finding the announcement of VIP shipping at an extra charge funny?

If by funny you mean infuriating given how expensive shipping was and the ā€œspecial treatmentā€ backers were promised.

Did you stick with 8k in the end? You changed a few times :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes, I got an 8K. I only switched twice, to an 5K+ and back to an 8K. Iā€™m pleased with my choice, btw. :slight_smile:

Well, so when we eventually receive the 8K, we can compare it to the new HP Reverb headset and make a choice if we value more FoV or a denser ppi in the central area higherā€¦ :joy:

Itā€™s not an either/or. I want both wide FOV and denser ppi. The 8KX++ with full RGB subpixels would probably be good enough. :laughing:

Looks like by the time I get my 8K there will be a new thing to desire and wait for ā€¦

I guess Pimax will still have the best fov though.

With technology, thatā€™s always true. Something better will be coming, no matter what it is that you desire. :star_struck:
