Bigscreen Beyond 2 Begins Initial Shipments, Targets Complete Fulfillment by September

Bigscreen, right, they’re at it again, shipping out those Beyond 2 VR headsets finally. So, after some annoying delays – not that I was checking my calendar daily or anything – they’ve started sending out the first batches. They’re drowning in pre-orders though, so don’t hold your breath if you’re in line; it might take ‘til August or even September.

Ah, and here’s a fun fact: If you’re ordering today, expect a bit of a wait. They hope to clear the backlog by late September, maybe sooner if the stars align. They’re aiming for quick deliveries after that, which sounds optimistic, but hey, miracles happen.

Now, if eye-tracking wakes you up in a cold sweat — Beyond 2e’s for you. Just be ready to shell out $1,219 compared to the regular $1,019 for the basic Beyond 2. Available direct from Bigscreen, no middle-man drama.

Here’s something wild — during its March launch, it outsold the original Beyond like crazy. Imagine the surprise! First-day sales were bonkers, beating what the first version did in four months. Couldn’t write a better rags-to-riches story if I tried.

They’re not just sitting back, though. Hiring more people, ramping up production in LA, sending engineers overseas – busy bees. Sounds like a bustling factory scene, right?

For those waiting on Custom-Fit Cushions, good luck. Looks like mid-August is your lucky month. As for the Halo Mount, yeah, delays. Late September or October-ish, maybe. I guess the universe isn’t on a schedule.

And speaking of upgrades, if you’ve been pacing the floor waiting for a Beyond 1, surprise, you’ll get a Beyond 2 instead. It’s Bigscreen’s peace offering, I guess. Shipments should wrap up by July 25th — fingers crossed.

Oh, and despite all the tariff mumbo jumbo with Chinese imports, they’re swearing up and down the price isn’t going up. Keep your fingers crossed and wallets ready, folks.
