Pyra Media Coverage


Oh...week for the release of the press kit. I´m finishing a nice set of renders and upload today.
I also have a nice surprise under the sleeve...;) Let´s hope it works out.

Well yeah a little. I'm running the only Pandora-related blog, yet nobody lets me know ahead of time that Pyra pre-orders are about to start. I know I don't have 100 000 of visits every day, but that would have been appropriate to start spreading the news there nonetheless.

What about sending out a tweet with a link to this article. I will retweet it to all my 237 followers ;)
 
I thought he mentioned it a few days before that (when he started fixing up the preorder pages).
 
Yup, I do a quick check of these boards everyday. Evildragon was immensely busy these last few weeks and not getting much (any?) sleep by all accounts- I'm sure pandora live simply slipped his mind.
 
It's also worth mentioning that the preannouncement simply stated that preorders would open at some point on May 1st. It didn't include any prices, and of course none of those stats that are included in Eki's extensive article. It would just have made a news blip at best.

I get the impression the preorders were opened for people checking the boards first - the press pack wasn't even released as draft by then. You could argue that pandoralive isn't press in the same way as other sites, but I for one wouldn't be too happy with Eki getting pricing information before the rest of us.
 
Ok, here some renders:

Not all angles are cool but there are options.
The wetransfer archive has .TIFF files containing layers, the background, the product and a raw color layer in case color needs to be changed.

I tried a red that would go along with the page´s style as we have on the top (preorder now!).
Let me know if you have any doubts.

I will also add a compose of the pictures here with a clean white background so we can quick view it.
I will try the secret now... :p

Here the full files download (expires 16 may):

The logo plate looks better on the red than the black, imo. If we get an option for a red case I hope it is a dark red, although that may not look as good with an uncolored plate.

I do like the two tone shoulder buttons and case look. Not so keen on japanned black screws on one half of the screen bezel, but those could always be painted I guess.

Won't the shoulder buttons be the same color as the case? I can't recall which molds have which parts. I think there will be covers for the screws and fake screws near the screen. That is why ED said he did that.
 
i think the plate will look good on both black and red cases (especially with the new "material" used in the render). erico does an excellent job of making it look sexy.

Pretty good. But my favorite color will be metal-gray, or even a pure black is better than this Pyra-red color. Please tell me this wouldn't be the final color of the device.
