Bigscreen Beyond 2 Begins Initial Shipping Phase, Targets September Fulfillment

Oh, man. So, Bigscreen has kicked off shipping their latest VR thingy—Beyond 2—finally. I mean, they hit a bump in the road with production delays (classic, right?), but now they’re sending these out. And yeah, if you pre-ordered one, you might be waiting a bit—August, September… maybe longer? Who knows?

They’ve got two flavors here: Beyond 2 and the Beyond 2e. That second one’s got eye-tracking, which, I mean, could be cool or creepy, depending on your vibe. Prices are kinda steep, though—$1,019 and $1,219. Direct grab from Bigscreen’s site if you’re into that.

The wild bit? People are all over this like bees on honey. When they dropped the pre-orders back in March, sales for the first day totally smoked the first model’s initial four months. And in the first 11 days? Yeah, they outsold the first year of the original Beyond. Mind-blowing! Now they’re cranking up production in L.A., hiring folks left and right, and even sending engineers overseas to keep an eye on things. Busy bees or what?

Oh, and something about Custom-Fit Cushions rolling out by mid-August if you snagged one earlier. Halo Mounts? Later—like September or October. Manufacturing delays again—just lovely.

And here’s a kicker for those still hanging around with a Beyond 1 order: surprise upgrade to Beyond 2! But you’re first in line, so there’s that, I guess. Expect those by the end of July.

And hey, no price hikes from import tariffs, which is refreshing considering, well, everything else. It’s like, finally, some good news from an unexpected corner!
