As eager as I was to receive my 8k in the near future, my career has taken an unexpected turn and I will have to relocate to another country for no less than a year, which makes very unlikely for me to properly enjoy any VR (other than the oculus go) for quite a while.
My pledge is in the six thousand range (cancelled my initial pledge in the 1.200 range and re-pledged near the end of the KS…)
It is 8k HMD only and I want to recoup what I paid for (546USD, or more precisely today’s equivalent to 500 euros, which is roughly what I paid at the exchange rate of the day), not looking to make a buck here but not losing either. My KS account only has this pledge, also I have a solid 15 year track record as a seller on Ebay (250 positive votes 100%) and we can contact via linkedin to ensure “trustworthyness” of the parties in the transaction.
That’s not the case, I will keep my home and my current rig, but I will be travelling extensively while keeping quarters in an apartment abroad, I’m just not taking my monster PC, vr gear and simrig across the pond when realistically I anticipate very little spare time for hobbies.
I purchased a headset only with 1 base station pledge.
After a couple of days they agreed to update it to my address.
Then I asked if I could upgrade or swap the base station for hand tracking. This is what they said. “sorry for your inconvenience,8k Kickstarter campaign was closed. You cannot change the pledge any more”
I will ask Pimax, although I tried to add a couple of controllers to my pledge after the campaign was over and I got the same reply that it was no longer possible. However, I think that the lighthouses and controllers will be availabe a few months after the 8k HMD receives the green light, and that considered the actual number of the pledge makes little difference…
