Just ordered a Pimax 8KX (Some CES Reviews)

It has been getting good feedback from CES so I ordered the PIMAX 8KX right away so I can report back here to you guys as soon as I get it. Probably around March/April. Luckily by ditching all my backer rewards (I already have basestation and Valve controllers) I got mine for $609 (RRP is $1299). Hopefully I can avoid import taxes.

Long Live VR!

Ouch, $2664au.
But I guess that's one way to get Index controllers and base stations into australia, since Valve still won't sell them to us direct but Pimax says they will bundle them for australia.

Guess your Reverb was getting old and dusty!  😄

But really not bad - 200 degrees fov, about 2 x Reverb res. Basically same as Index res 200% (17 mill pixels per image) - but that's 4x native Index res. Boneworks will probably work great, and you can use the Index controllers - looking forward to your review! $1400 with deluxe audio if you already got Index controllers aren't that bad, but good luck with Stormland and Asgard's Wrath 😉

My main aim will certainly be to compare with the Reverb as that's the current market leader as far as clarity is concerned. I had it pegged as being about the same quality but with the wider FOV. It will be interesting to compare. Swevivor made some through the lens comparisons, you see it on the pages as Brand H but they weren't optimal images for the Reverb. Interesting they simply called it Brand H. 

@kojack if you're interested in an Index shipped down under (no controllers though) then I might sell it.  😉

Is it me or in the pic that our mutual friend posted, the pimax still looks "cheap" doesn't have that shiny new gizmo look about it. ?
