Bigscreen Beyond 2 Begins Initial Shipping Phase, Targets Complete Fulfillment by September

Alright, so here’s my take on this whole Bigscreen Beyond 2 situation. Feels like a bit of a ride, doesn’t it? Anyway—right. So, Bigscreen, the folks behind those neat PC VR headsets, finally started getting the Beyond 2 out to people. Yeah, there was some delay. Classic, right? But they said it’s all shipping now, though if you were one of those early birds, you might still be staring out the window waiting for the mail.

So many people jumped on this thing that they might keep handling those backlog orders into, like, September. If you’re feeling the itch to get one now, they’re saying it won’t land on your doorstep until late summer or early fall. Patience, my friend.

And here’s where it gets spicy — two versions. You’ve got the Beyond 2 and its fancier friend, Beyond 2e, which spies on you — I mean, comes with eye-tracking. Price tags are steep. $1,019 and $1,219. Why the extra $200? Eye-tracking, my friend. A whole science fiction vibe, right?

Here’s something funny: this thing sold like hotcakes. So much so that in just over a week, they moved more units than the Beyond 1 did in a year. Insane. So they’re beefing up production at their LA factory and hiring more folks. Job creation, yay! Oh, and they even sent some engineers overseas to keep an eye — or both — on things.

Now, if you’re after those Custom-Fit Cushions (because why not?), don’t expect them until mid-August. And if you’re eyeing the Halo Mount, prepare to wait a little longer, probably twiddling your thumbs till October. Yeah, manufacturing delays. What a time to be alive.

On a side note, if you ordered a Beyond 1 and are still waiting, surprise! You’re getting upgraded to a Beyond 2, like a VIP or something. They’re promising you’ll get yours by July 25th. Fingers crossed.

Oh, and about those tariffs from the U.S. giants on Chinese-made stuff? Bigscreen waved it off. No price hike this time. Relieved? Maybe. Or maybe it’s just a clever marketing bit. Who knows.
