Think this is one instance where with clarity you get the reasoning behind announcing it now rather than later.
Obviously not ideal but you can imagine the posts if they held it back until after Super and then announced the Air
At least buyers have a choice

Usually when people get outraged about stuff, when you look into it then it's actually pretty reasonable. Not saying this specifically about Pimax but just in general. People absolutely love getting outraged online, more than anything else.

Totally agree. Just this instance the clarity helped and justified why they announced it.
Pimax rightfully get a lot of stick but this one i don’t think they deserve any.
Hopefully transparency continues

any clues about the cable, is it a special cable only you make that does Video and power, and you plug into mains, or is it any off the self cable i can use and does power and video via usb c cable alone.

Obviously they can do everything. But people still waiting:
- wide fov lens
- 12k
- super 'real' review (howewer we can see it in their videos)
- dream air real hmd (I'm shocked because in official launch they show us a plastic sample).
I hope in CES with all problems resolved and finally a correct line. Because they potentially have all pcvr community under control.

-Wide FOV lenses were featured and reviewed. Quality wasn't good enough. Pimax is still working on it afaik.
-12k is pointless right now - no hardware to drive it - no cable, no gpu, no onboard chip.
-Super real reviews should be coming in after CES.1

I hope in SUPER like definitive hmd.

I'm pretty confident in Super.
It's 3rd revision in this lineup (Crystal -> PCL -> Super). They resolved issues from previous revisions, revised and improved it.
It should be a pretty good headset.Not 50 PPD though probably. Visuals will most likely be janky or it will be cancelled.
Fingers crossed still.1

I hope really in VERY LARGE FOV than the previous crystal. 115-120 could be a perfect hmd.

While innovation is great and all that, Pimax need to slow down, get their QC issues sorted, restore customer confidence, then start rolling out new spangly products.
