Daily average over the last 7 days was 1.29 Pre-order a day

............I'm only running these to 60 days
[doublepost=1467246585,1467246281][/doublepost]At the current rate of pre-orders a day, it would take a further 5.2 months to get an additional 200 preorders (to reach 1000 pre-orders)

The tally after 60 days of PYRA pre-orders was 798 pre-orders. As a comparison, the GPD WIN Indiegogo campaign managed to get 1750 pre-orders in the same timeframe (60 days).

Might be worth doing some more to push the pre-orders and get the word out. A Thunderclap might be an idea

this is in APC magazine here in Australia but the price is listed as 330 Euro.... no mention that this is just the downpayment for pre-order..

Proving once again that modern journalists don't need to be able to read.
Since it's printed on paper it isn't even possible to correct the mistake afterwards, well done!
 
typical sloppy jurno. just reprint the publicity blurb... wait its too long? well cut a bit out doesnt matter what..
no mention of 3G/4G mobile or wireless networking.

EDIT just sent them a short polite email informing them of their mistake.

Just ran the numbers, comparing the Indiegogo campaign price for the GPD Win and final price of the DragonBox Pyra with the amount of pre-orders for both. Since the Pyra is a lot costlier, it's basically the same amount of money and actually more for the Pyra if you count the remaining 50+ pre-pre-orders.

It's also proving once again that the way how the prices are shown in the shop is shitty. The author of this magazine article isn't the first one to make that mistake.

Which one? As you pointed out, they omitted a lot of significant info, including that the price they listed is the downpayment. At least It is some additional coverage.

BTW, what is that magazine about?
 
Even though the page has been revised a bit, it's still very easy for someone to see that page and think the price is 330 euro.

The price area does not say downpayment. The downpayment bit is on the left, where to a newb to the Pyra , doesn't easily connect with the price on the right being a downpayment.

Plus the final price is buried in the wall of text.

It's not good, sorry to say. But it is still terrible.

On the item page, to avoid confusion and for clarity, the price area should be something like

Final price xxxxxx

To make a Pre-order , you pay a downpayment of xxxxx now and the remainder xxxx when the Pyra is ready to be shipped.

You need to understand that people are used to seeing things a certain way. No point fighting against that. when people see an item page, they immediately look at the price area , if it's not clear there that it's a downpayment and what the final price is, then expect confusion.

I agree, but I would never purchase something without at least reading the product description. Usually I do a ton of research first, even for cheap things (I did many hours of research over the course of 3 weeks on something that only cost me $30, but I wanted to make sure it was the one I wanted...after deciding on one I finally confirmed it is a limited edition, so I was a bit lucky it didn't sell out while comparing other things and doing all my reading).

I would never drop hundreds of dollars on something without looking through the page I was purchasing on. If you do, it is your own fault for missing the bold text at the top of the description. If anyone is misleading potential buyers it is those spreading bad info without bothering to take a few minutes to fact check. More time was probably spent aligning the picture on the page...
