I'll take that; One standard then one EU 4GB unit on Sunday afternoon going on evening, then OMG! Cancellations come sunday evening taking us back two EU 4GB units, gadamnit! Then bam, another 4GB EU unit on Wednesday late night, one the following evening and one the next night after midnight. And one 4GB EU unit to finish on Friday night, and one US 4GB unit on Saturday morning, I think.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +1 4GB unit
US cellular units: +1 4GB unit
Euro cellular units: +3 EU 4GB units (+5-2 units)

At least we're still heading forwards; in the meantime we're still hanging on the post from Greece, bearing the from address of Form Action. Hopefully it can't be long now.

I canceled mine, I'm ashamed but I'm bicycle touring and need the money. I was holding out until I left but I just couldn't. I'm a Pandora owner, love it, and wanted a Pyra, but really needed the money for my trip. I'll pick one up later.

I kinda justified it by thinking maybe they will trickle out and I ordered early so I'd be near the top. It wouldn't make much sense because I'm going to be peddling for 6 to 8 hours a day, and hopefully getting adequate sleep, so not spending adequate time enjoying my Pyra. The Pyra I would get will go to someone who hopefully has time to use it and enjoy it.

Also, when I get my Pyra hopefully it will do video editing good enough for me to dump my notebook or it would just be extra weight. So I'll give it a little while for that stuff to hopefully be ported to the Pyra. I feel really bad but I really need the money.

Rest assured I'm getting a Pyra eventually, I love my Pandora too much not to get one. Mine will just be gotten a little later. . .

We had one standard 4GB preorder on Sunday evening, but then on Monday afternoon two units, also non-cellular 4GB versions were cancelled. Half an hour later, a preorder for an EU 4GB unit came in, which may or may not be related. Then, on Wednesday early hours (so probably a US order made around lunchtime) a preorder for a standard 4GB unit came in, and to top off a EU 4GB unit preorder came in yesterday morning.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: no change (+2-2 4GB units)
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: +2 EU 4GB units

Now progress is in the hands of the post offices of Europe it seems, and the coated cases look glorious. Meanwhile most of the boards and mats are reaching they final revisions, so it's starting to feel like we're nearly at a release candidate, and the much predicted (by me at least) videos!

Bit of a topsy-turvy week this one. Nothing happened on Sunday, Monday or mostly Tuesday, but in the wee hours of Tuesday night/Wednesday morning we lost two standard non-cellular 4GB pre-orders. On Thursday morning, the first standard 4GB pre-order was recovered, and later that day the second one was turned into a 4GB EU preorder. Then friday turned out the week with a 4GB standard unit, bringing the tally of non-cellular 4GB units back to where it started.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: no change (+2-2 4GB units)
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: +1 EU 4GB units

Using my spyglass to look into the future, I can see more pre-orders on the horizon. Maybe a bit of a delayed reaction to ED's unboxing & assembly video?

Feels like recent news had an effect this time. Sunday afternoon a 4GB EU cellular unit was pre-ordered, then a 4GB non-cellular one later in the evening, and on Monday evening a further 4GB EU unit was pre-ordered. Next, we waited until Thursday evening for a 4GB US pre-order. Other than that everything happened on Friday after new photos were published Thursday night German time; someone pre-ordered a 4GB EU unit about half an hour after the pictures went up, and then another was pre-ordered at lunchtime. Shortly after two cancellations of 4GB non-cellular preorders were processed, and another 4GB EU preorder was subsequently made.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: -1 4GB units (+1-2 4GB units)
US cellular units: +1 4GB unit
Euro cellular units: +5 4GB units

If some mere pictures (albeit ones we've waited for expectantly, and very artily taken) can give us 3 preorders, I can't predict how many pre-orders a video of it running will make.

While we wait for confirmation that things are still going well, the preorders have done the old one step forward, two steps back dance. Our step forward was a pre-order of a 4GB EU unit on Wednesday afternoon, while our steps back happened on Friday after lunch - both 4GB EU units also.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: no change
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: -1 4GB unit (+1-2 units)

We should perhaps bear in mind the old adage that no news is good news. Hopefully ED is too busy assembling units and posting them off to prototype-level developers. Maybe the offer of Grench** to sit in the corner and film him might actually have been a good idea

* If you're a prototype-level developer.
** I think it was Grench's idea.

It wasn't me - more likely someone who could get there for less than the cost of a prototype? It is a $2750 flight for me to do it.

Great job man , nice that you keep it up, i have a question for you .Do you think the switch will affect to some extent the pyra?

 

[levi]

I don't see why it would; the switch is a walled garden gaming console in a tablet-kinda format, while the Pyra will be an open handheld computer that also plays games. In months where money is tight, people might have to judge between placing a preorder or splashing the cash on something else, which might apply in the month running up to Christmas for example, but we've seen people buying pyra preorders as christmas presents I think. And tight months can occur at any time of the year really.

If in doubt, you can always check the numbers though. To be it just seems to have been a gentle decline over time, which sometimes seem influenced by news postings, but sometimes does not. I've never yet ascribed a particular bump to another game console launch or significant game launch, but maybe I've missed something. I think the Switch is probably already a known quanitity though - it's been out a while, and many of its biggest titles are already out. Maybe this weeks bad news could be ascribed to the release of ARMS, and the subsequent sales of new consoles I guess, but I'd have to go back and see if MK8 made a difference or the whole console+Zelda launch. Next up is probably Splatoon 2 in mid July.

Cause i am a casual gamer, i used to play an hour or so almost every evening on the pandora or the 3ds and I was thinking in getting a pyra but i said i will buy one when i see them rolling out the assembly line cause i don't like putting my money in something i can not get right away because i tend sometimes to change my mind over times. And I got the switch and my gaming habits change i play two hours every evening and I have 5-6 hours sessions in the weekends and since i have no excitement for the pyra like i had for the pandora before i got it.I think it didn't help it took so long either . Thank you.

Another quiet week - the quiet before the storm hopefully. Two 4GB standard units were pre-ordered, the first on Sunday lunchtime, and the second on Tuesday afternoon, and that's all there was.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +2 4GB units
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: no change

I guess while recent news has shown this isn't vapourware, we may have captured already most of the people who want an open, upgradable, repairable linux handheld and are willing to preorder something still somewhat virtual for a fair amount of real money. I remember I only jumped aboard the Pandora waiting list once I saw it running a number of impressive for the time things on youtube. 3D running on the Pyra I expect to excite us all a lot more, and hopefully will kickstart the preorder list.

A slightly busier week than last week, but nothing more to show for it. First of all on Sunday evening we made the first pre-order of a 2GB EU cellular unit for a while. On Tuesday afternoon, another 4GB EU unit was preordered, but that night at just after midnight, two EU 4GB units were cancelled. It took until mid-afternoon on Saturday before another EU 4GB unit was preordered to make up.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: no change
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: +1 2GB unit (and +2-2 4GB units)

But we're getting new photos from ptitseb every few days, which is enough to keep me excited by the project. I guess it'll take more to get this queue moving again though.

As the number images thread has shown, the direction has been universally positive for a change, and it shows! Firstly, on Tuesday morning we got out first pre-order of the week; a standard, non-cellular 4GB unit. Then on Friday night, we got two US 4GB unit preordered close together on Friday morning. And to top it off, there was another preorder for a standard, non-cellular 4GB unit on Saturday evening.

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +2 4GB units
US cellular units: +2 4GB units
Euro cellular units: no change

Makes a bit of a change to get US orders, even if they both likely came from the same person.

So there we were, merrily heading towards 1080 when oops, back you go. To start with, we lost two US 4GB preorders on Sunday evening, but one of those was replaced by a 4GB standard pre-order within fifteen minutes. And the next night in the early hours, the first preorder consisting of two EU 4GB units were made, with another being placed a few hours later. Then, on Thursday a preorder for a US 4GB unit was placed, possibly replacing one of those cancelled on Sunday night. That got us to the magic 1080, but then on Friday afternoon four EU 4GB units were cancelled! But on Saturday afternoon one of those was recovered, as well as a standard 4GB unit being preorered at the same time (or pretty damn close).

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +2 4GB units
US cellular units: -1 4GB units (-2+1)
Euro cellular units: no change (+3-4+1)

Wow, what a roller-coaster ride that was! It was fun while it lasted, but it's only left us one step up from where we were. Lets hope it gives us some momentum for more progress over the next week or two.

* Unfortunately, that's only in terms of the rhyme, not in terms of pyra preorders!

I still think the roller-coasting has to do with the fact that we placed images before due time (see preorder image thread). Also, I learned that placing images with fractions is bad (counter goes down). And double posting a same number is bad (counter goes down)
So +7 -6 = 1. But we posted 1077 before its time. Then 107.7 (which is a form of double posting, if you disregard the comma). After that it went to 1076 . all in week 63 (09/07-15/07). Advanced numerology? Nah, just playing while waiting. Today is '17-07-16 (see those same numbers again?)

The other theory is that people just changed the type of Pyra they want, and a few that either wanted holliday money, or had a surplus to downpay a Pyra... but that theory is more mundane.

Seven Steps Forward, Six Steps Back.
We come together, 'cause Pyra is a fact
And you know. It ain't nub friction
Just a natural fact.
Iphone 8 will be over 1000 and Pyra cheaper than that.

You know it.

Shenanigans in the numbers thread started last week though, didn't they? Maybe they have a double delayed effect?

Now that's a positive direction! One preorder pretty much straight off the bat on Sunday evening for a 4GB EU cellular unit, then another Wednesday afternoon, and then to cap it off a standard non-cellular 4GB unit preorder came in on Saturday morning (or more likely, Friday night from the US given the timing).

As above, the preorders were split as follows:
Non-cellular units: +1 4GB unit
US cellular units: no change
Euro cellular units: +2 4GB units

Nice to have some proper action from the Euros again. I'll take that while we haven't had an official post this week, or a new photo from any of the prototypers out there as I recall.
