Realistic price estimate for Pimax 8K?

If that is for the headset alone, then yes I can see that. But if it comes with the rest of the stuff, then I can see a lot of very upset Kickstarter backers asking for some money back.

There is no way that's the price including the accessories. Pimax has said that the retail price will be higher than the Kickstarter price.

"That site" which has about as much to go on as any contestant on "The price is right".


But it doesn't mean the Kickstarter pledges was that off.
in fact they where set to cover parts and manufacturing, just not much in profits.
But for pimax to see any real profits they need to put their HMD where their mouth is and actually meet their own lofty promises.

Even as a backer I'm 50/50 wether the device will be the next best thing ever or like my vive, an unused paper weight.

I'm also a backer and if it was to retail at around that price, I would be happy. I would not be a backer asking for some money back.
I seem to remember there are a bunch of stretch goals met with accessories that would take the retail price beyond the backers price.

More importantly, the lower the retail price the better, making it more accessible is good for all.

In regards to that site or gearbest.com, it seems that listing is over a year old and discontinued, still it is interesting they have a price and shipping date for Jun 08 - Jun 11, maybe that was June last year!

Well pimax was during Kickstarter saying they expected to have shipped all backer Hmd's by January and regular sale to start no later than around now.

I don't think anyone really thought that was going to happen..
