Alright, let’s dive into this mess of an announcement—gotta love tech launches, right? So, Bigscreen, those guys with the funky VR headsets, are finally shipping their new Beyond 2 thingamajigs. They had a hiccup or two—like, production delays are totally a thing—but now they’re rolling them out. They’ll keep at it, dragging through August and maybe beyond. Could be later, who knows?
Oh, and if you’re thinking of ordering one now, it’s gonna take until, say, September to show up at your doorstep. Probably. Unless aliens interfere. Their plan—clear out that mountain of orders by September and hopefully start shipping stuff almost as soon as you want it. Gotta have dreams, right?
So, there are two versions of this shiny toy. Beyond 2 (without the eyes, so to speak) and Beyond 2e (yep, this one’s peeping into your soul with eye-tracking). One’s just over a grand, and the other bumps that up by a couple of hundred bucks. Direct from Bigscreen, because who needs a middleman?
And let me tell you, people are digging these things. Way back in March, when they first said “Hey, buy our stuff!” they sold more in 24 hours than the old one did in four long months. We’re talking about a big leap. Eleven days in, they outsold the entire first year of Beyond 1. Impressive, or maybe everyone’s going VR crazy.
With all this buzz, the LA factory’s buzzing too—extra hands on deck, tech gurus are parachuting into overseas factories, making sure everything’s tick-tock. Like a hive of worker bees making sweet, sweet VR honey.
Meanwhile, there’s a whole sideshow going on. If you wanted their snug Custom-Fit Cushions like, yesterday, you’ll see those delivered by mid-August. But if the fabled Halo Mount is your thing, pin your hopes on the end of September or October. Because, you know, production gremlins.
And oh, the cherry on top—patient folks who ordered the first-gen Beyond but never got it will snag a shiny new Beyond 2 with a priority pass for deliveries. Yay, bonus!
Amidst all this, Bigscreen’s waving a flag: They’re not bumping up the price because of those pesky tariffs from our pals in the US government. Crisis averted?
So, there you have it. VR chaos, perhaps, but something exciting about teasing reality and slipping into a virtual one. Until the next glitch…
