It's software this time!

Edit: Ninja'ed by Trashy!

The PCB is an old revision, and is missing the CPU PCB and the display PCB, and has also been defaced by ED and HNS; it's not really suitable for practical use. The pre-pre-order phase happened in October 2015 and all 200 units were all snapped up within a couple of days, and I suspect if you didn't receive a little present in the post then what you have is a plain pre-order.

User @ToastBucket is a member here who is doing impressive work with his prototype getting everything closer to perfection than ever before.

I wonder what's up with the loose wires on the right side of the CPU board on the 1st pic

 

[docbroke]

May be heat spreader is applied on both sides

Not loose wires. Looks like rework, likely done by the CM (looks professional).

Yeah that's some precision work, likely he's just testing it on some old revision board he had laying around.

That's an old prototype board, these are some fixes Nikolaus did

So does that mean this is it?

 

[elvissteinjr]

To think I was this close to picking up my Pyra at Gamescom...

 

[λ the β-Redex Reducer]

So does that mean this is it?

I do not know because that depends on what "this" and "it" are referring to. However I do know that for both all "it" and all "this" it is true that unless they refer to NaN, "this" is "this" and "it" is "it". I hope that was useful.

 

[Silent-Hunter]

You know I meant the Pyra release.

So does that mean this is it?

If 'it' is all parts arrived in southern Germany then yes, 'this' is 'it'. Still a little time till you get a unit in your (presumably) sweaty paws, but it seems like we're on the home leg now.

Holy cow, a Pyra survey! Check your junk email boxes, folks!

I’m more than willing to put forward a little extra cash for the dark chrome look. I’m passing on the adaptor, as it would just get lost in a drawer somewhere. Needless to say, I’m extremely excited!

43 responses now. Went for dark chrome for an extra 15EUR (I'm glad ED isn't losing money on this) and Yes for the adaptor myself.
