Bigscreen Beyond 2 Begins Initial Shipments, Targets Full Delivery by September

Oh, so I was sitting around yesterday, mindlessly scrolling through my emails when — bam — stumbled upon this juicy tidbit about Bigscreen’s newest thingamajig. Apparently, these folks have finally started shipping the Beyond 2, that fancy, lightweight PC VR headset they’ve been yakking about. Took them long enough, right? I mean, I’d almost forgotten about it with all the wait.

Anyway, they hit a bit of a bump with production delays. Yeah, surprise, surprise. Who doesn’t these days? But, the good news, or so they say, is that they’re plowing through those pre-orders right now, hoping to tackle the backlog by… late September. Could be wishful thinking, if you ask me, but let’s see how that pans out.

If you’re one of those who decides to order today, expect the thing to land on your doorstep somewhere between August and September. Unless, of course, the universe has other plans (I’m looking at you, shipping gods). They’ve got two versions up for grabs — Beyond 2 and its cooler cousin, Beyond 2e, which has eye-tracking. Nifty, huh? The price tags will, uh, set you back a bit: $1,019 and $1,219. Not exactly chump change, but hey, quality comes with a price, or so they say.

Now, here’s a shocker — people are actually snapping these up like hotcakes. Something about their initial 24 hours of sales being crazier than what the original Beyond did in four whole months. Wild, right? In fact, sales in the first eleven days topped Beyond 1’s first-year tally. Go figure.

Seems all of this buzz has them stretching out their LA factory and hunting for more tech whizzes. They’re even sending engineers globetrotting to oversee production. Sounds like an adventure — or a nightmare, depending on one’s perspective.

Oh, and for those who went for the extra swanky Custom-Fit Cushions before May 7, count on seeing those delivered by mid-August. Those Halo Mount folks might have to twiddle their thumbs until September or October. Blame manufacturing hiccups—they’re always the villain in these stories.

And if, by some weird twist of fate, you’re still waiting on a Beyond 1, guess what? You’re being bumped up to the snazzier Beyond 2. I mean, free upgrade! Score!

Honestly, good on Bigscreen for keeping the prices steady, despite those pesky tariffs. The world’s on fire and everything’s more expensive nowadays, so small mercies, right?

Now, back to my coffee… where was I?
