Then our Kickstarters were a hell of a deal! I got the 8k with lighthouse/controller bundle for $800, that’s $1200 in the store ($900 for headset, $300 for lighthouses and controllers)
I don’t want to raise panic. Just received spam email from Name Surname NameSurname@chadscarolinacorn.com, with Name and Surname being my real Name and Surname, I have filled in registration just 40 minutes ago and it came on my email which I already filled in in registration.
Coincidence? Maybe, maybe not 
Anybody who registered recently can take a look in their spam folder in email?

LOL. Yeah I think I’ll pass too. Also the price is not too attractive neither, not exactly a ‘steal’
Countdown has begun. Just 4 hours ticking away at time of posting.
So I’ve been able to add the 5K plus to my CART …
Then hit CHECKOUT …
Which has taken me to a COST screen $699 + $69.89$ shipping&tax = $768.89$ total.
It gives me three different options to pay (alipay, PayPal, Credit Card).
However no option / button to progress from there, I guess that will come at the pre-order deadline.
I’d be very interested if anyone else has got to the same point but paying with Euro to compare totals?
really? I got mine for 250 almost 2 years ago…

I hope they make it clear the 4K is an old product and not part of the new model range.
No wonder I couldn’t find the 5K. It is listed under the 8K by your screenshot and I am not interested in that model so assumed it was not added.
The 8K is the name of the product not a range of products so it makes no sense to structure the site like that.
Any info on the OLED version?
If we preorder the Pimax now but want to return it before receiving our headset (and after seeing more reviews), would that be allowed?
The only reason I am even considering preordering is because of VISA consumer protection.
Pimax F up and I just chargeback.
You mean like steal on your vive pro? 
Too bad htc was the 1 with the mask.

Was anyone able to preorder? Keeps giving me an error when.i try to check out with paypal
What a disaster!! Web page continuously down… long waiting time for loading anything… payment buttons not available… and when finally available I get “PayPal error (3)”. Clearly a sign to not buy anything. I was already not really convinced (too expensive, no availability date -even an unrealistic one-, still too many issues reported by backers, no news from controllers, … ) but this helped me to take a decision. Thanks Pimax !!!
I was prepared to not receive anything in the next 6 months: with current status, backers will not be fulfilled until February / March (and this is if production improves really a lot) + time to build headset for new customers + controllers… In fact… more than 6 months probably 
. I will go for another headset, wait these 6 months, and then decide if the 5K+ is still a good option or better headsets start to be announced.
I really hope that the 5K+ will be a success because at least it will force other brands to improve their headset. But the image that I have of Pimax is currently very very bad. The headset (hardware only) seems ok, but all the rest around it’s just a mess (starting with their terrible and unrealistic communication).

Exactly the same. Been wavering on and off last couple of days. This website fiasco has finally made my mind up for me.
Thanks Pimax but no thanks.
If you can’t get the basics of a website right (and do it on the day of preorders?) then I really can’t trust you with a purchase which was already more than I thought it should be.

This is why i usually preorder through paypal credit. I dont get charged interest as long as i pay the whole balance within 6 months. So in 5 months ill know wether to cancel the preorder or not.

I´m confused, the Original Counter should have reached zero by now ?!
Was or is anyone able to set a PreOrder now, or what´s the Status ?
Edit:
When I´m choosing PayPal Express Checkout, nothing happens… is it due to the fact that the PreOrder is still not active, or is it a Browser - Problem ?
Edit2 :
just saw a Post in reddit that they actually ment 1am ChinaTime ?!
Are you serious ? So I was staying awake all the night for nothing ?
It’s the same for me, can’t use any payment methods. Would prefer paypal but I keep getting an error with that & it won’t accept credit card either.
The Vive Pro is big time over priced. But now the Pimaxes are also in that (way overpriced) price range. And the product isn’t even working correctly yet, it’s a mess currently even getting it to work and knowing pimax, they fix one thing in an update and break 3 things. People get HMD’s mailed with dirt behind the lenses, others just break apart… I really don’t think this price is warranted. But who knows, they might actually sell well. I certainly hope so cause the VR industry needs to move forward quickly and competition is needed.
