Oh wow, so, here’s the deal about this new VR headset called Beyond 2. Bigscreen’s like, “Hey, we’re finally starting to ship these babies,” after a delay—because why wouldn’t there be a delay, right? Supposedly, they’re pushing out these headsets now, but there’s this pile-up of pre-orders. Seems endless like my laundry basket. They’re hoping to clear that mess by September. Or so they say.
You got this Beyond 2 and the fancier Beyond 2e with eye-tracking—because staring at things is apparently extra. The plain one is $1,019 and the other’s $1,219. Honestly, these prices make my coffee habit look tame. Anyway, they’re selling straight from Bigscreen, not through some back alley—thankfully.
Oh, and listen to this! In the first day—yes, DAY—of pre-orders, they sold more than the original Beyond did in four months. Mind-blowing, right? And in 11 days, they outdid the whole first year of sales for Beyond 1. Now they’re amping things up in their Los Angeles joint. More tech people, more support folks. It’s like they’re planning for a VR takeover or something. They’ve even got engineers buzzing around overseas making sure everything’s top-notch.
If you’re into the whole optional Custom-Fit Cushions—like I am with pillows—those will ship by mid-August. But if you’re waiting on the Halo Mount, don’t hold your breath; it’s looking like late September or October.
Oh, this is wild: if you ordered Beyond 1 ages ago and never got it, congrats, you’re getting upgraded to Beyond 2. High five to you, honestly. They’re saying those should be all sent by July 25th.
One last important nugget (who even says ‘nugget’?): they promised back in April that these headsets wouldn’t get pricier due to tariffs—so that’s one less thing to frown about. Phew!
