Yeah, new Pyra video seems to have done the trick, even if it didn't actually show tiler working and software running. We got the first new preorder on Monday morning, before news about the video was posted, then one on Tuesday early morning, but from Wednesday onwards they came relatively flooding in - I guess news like that takes a little time to percolate around the web.
 
Well supposedly some multiple of thousands of Pandoras were sold over the years. Perhaps that video showing a comparison against the Pandora actually got found by some of those thousand ex-users, although it did only say 'Pandora' in the description and not the title. More likely perhaps is that there's just a few dozen or more users hanging around, waiting for more confirmation that this isn't some vapourware project like some others we could mention. While there have been plenty of pictures of devboard and parts being made before now, if your main news source is youtube this was perhaps the first evidence of parts actually being put together.

That's 20 orders in the past fortnight, the best for nine weeks, all presumably thanks to an installation video by ED. Impressive! Most of the week was one preorder per day, with the weekend days giving more. All networked orders seem to have been EU orders though, so perhaps gamescom had some influence too.

Edit: Fixed counting!

900 have been reached. Together with the yet to convert 50 pre-pre-orders, that's the 950 EvilDragon mentioned he needs for the first 1000 batch production. Next goal: 1500. Only after those are reached for the next 1000 batch, will the Pyra be available in the store.
 
I'd like to hear the reasons for why those people haven't converted from pre preorders to pre-orders. I remember someone saying they had reasons for not doing it, I am curious as to what those reasons could be.
 
Well, it's been a long time since the pre-preorders were made, and we've seen some impressive results from the GPD Win campaign since then for instance. The pre-preorder vouchers should be usable against any products in the dragonbox shop, including GPD Wins once he stocks them (or some may even have already used them against Win pre-orders). It's been slightly less long since ED last announced the number of unconverted pre-preorder vouchers, and I suspect there's at most a couple dozen left by now.
 
levi: Not trusting the official number is one thing (I believe the 900 pre-orders is slightly off as well, there have not been any cancellations in a while), pretending not to know of it in your first question is another. Please don't do that, it could be interpreted as deliberately directed annoyance rather than accidental annoyance.

Mmm...
Pre-orders being taken now.
Pre-pre-orders taken to fuel the 1st prototype run
Prototype purchasers should get in first. Are they pre-pre-pre-orders? Nothing to fear. There are only 8. I never quite understood if the 8 were in or out of the order tracking done here.

Which 50 unconverted pre-preorders?

Did I miss something? I got my pre-pre order and got a voucher (?) for that, this 290 Euro thingy. Do I have to do something else? If so, can look that up in the shop?

You use your pre-pre-order voucher to buy a pre-order, thus cementing your pre-order. You can do this at any time and your position in the queue will remain near the front with the other pre-pre-orders so there's no actual rush.
