Your experiences and thoughts will deserve their own thread. There are going to be a lot of questions.I'll start playing with it tomorrow

@Xcl4m4t10n - Well PyraOS is already "Stretched", and can rotate the screen properly.
If the timeloop of two months had not been cut short, no one would get a Pyra, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.

I agree, this indication of it being two months™ away, feels more like the last of the two months™ away indications, than any of the previous indications of it being two months™ away.

Don't get too optimistic. It is at least two more two months away.

Yeah, I hate beign "that" guy but I still see the pyra far away and that makes me anxiousus. I know there has been some progress but I feel it very poor and slow at this point.

The closer you get to the end, the longer things start to take.
I'm still very skeptical about a Pyra release in the first half of 2018.

I dunno, I'm optimistic about it shipping sometime in August or September.

I dare say for sanity sake to add at least 2 months™ to that estimate.

Why? I mean, it sounds like everything will be arriving around the end of July/beginning of August. I guess it's possible something bad will happen but I'm hoping not.

I wish I had a Pyra for every time we missed a Christmas deadlineim rooting for Christmas. i would he happy as heck that day for it. and we could cal ED Santa for the day
<edit>
Even if everything is delivered by the end of August (as if it ever is the best-case scenario), then units still need to be assembled, tested and shipped. All of that takes time as well.
Besides, we are still having issues with the 4 GB of ram. At this point we are hoping that is a software issue, but hardware problems cannot be ruled out yet. Thus, as far as I know, the design of the PCBs is not even finished yet.

I still say we'll see it sometime in 2027. Just in time for that Pyra wet-ware upgrade I've been thinking about.

Well, wish granted...there we gowell good thing we never had a Christmas deadline
Yeah, I haven't followed or let myself get to hype for the Pyra, as waiting on the Pandora was torture for so very long. LOL
At this point, I would say most things are about as good and as far along as they are going to get. Of course during mass production, anything may come up, but the Pyra development seems to be the complete opposite of how it was done for the Pandora.
The Pandora, while a miracle creation of sorts, had many, many issues, especially with so many parts being produced on so many corners of the globe(distance and language where HUGE issues). Some issues where only discovered after long term use, while other issues where corrected early on based on the production, and what seemed to need attention at the time.
ED has been in pretty steady contact with all the manufacturers, and he's been testing everything with a fine tooth comb up to this point. So where some issues can or may happen, most should be easily fixable, as most things have been looked over and inspected very well up to this point. For parts to be order at this point, most things will have to be used, as they are being paid for. So as long as the manufacturers keep to their production times, I really don't see why we shouldn't start to see units going to customers in a few months.
I'm still not going to start to get excited, as I've still got to wait past most units being shipped out or sold, as I have a huge credit with Link, and I can't get my unit until he has been selling a decent amount first on his end. So even if production was going at a good clip within 2 months, it will be a time after that for me to get a unit, so I'm still just following this project at a pretty safe distance for now. Otherwise, I'm in for more of my Pandora wait time issues, and who needs those kinds of problems again?
