[Replied]Allip started selling 8k, 5k, 5kbe in Korea and is not a pre-order

hmd has a be marker on it and pitool will recognize it as be. Performance is the same as consumer version.

He made a purchase in the online market and received it in a day.

So basically by stamping BE on the unit Pimax gets to say they kept their word and didn’t send out units before the backers… oh man… that’s so not right!!! I wonder how much is shipping cost from South Korea to the US? I bet if we ordered from South Korea it would arrive faster than Pimax’s shipping.

You will be able to make purchases through the purchase agency.

Except that they didn’t. They promised to first fulfill the backers, before shipping to business clients (which are now getting sold to normal clients)

Wasnt this already “kind” of explained?

Arent these BE units those 200 BE units built before the M2 came out?

Are you sure they are the same as the ones we backers are getting?

Darn it… I found a purchase agency and was going to fill out the form but now all of sudden the link to that Korean online store won’t open for me. Some Korean message pops up that I can’t copy and seconds later the the entire window closes.

Any chance you can verify for me that this online store is still selling the unit? Maybe tomorrow I’ll get lucky and they’ll have an English speaker by phone at the purchase agency.

thanks…

Yeah same here. Maybe Pimax told them not to sell to retail clients

Promotion with vive base and controller seems to have ended.

What about just the Headset itself?

Well… what did Pimax say when asked about it for these units in South Korea?

“B’s version will be different in appearance, with the ‘BE’ engraved on the hosing.” …

And that’s it…so you can draw your own conclusions.

Do you have a link to just the HMD?

Thanks. You are from Korea, right? If I were you I’d buy like 10 of those HMD’s and put them up on EBAY, mark up $150 for your work and effort. Easy money. You don’t even need to finance, just let EBAY buyer pay you and then buy the HMD and ship it.

Thank you park!!!

Is your friend a business owner?

No, he is not a business.

This is stated to be delivered within two weeks.

Hmm that’s odd. If they’re just selling that 4 month old 200 pieces batch that Pimax supposedly sold them, why is there now an 2 week delivery time instead of the 2 day they had before??

Do you ever recall in the past Pimax talking about a 8K BE model? If I recall, it was just the 5K and there was actually differences… different panel, sturdier housing, etc… I don’t think these are the 200 units from the past.

We strongly protested the pimax and it seems to be reflected.
