We're nearly there: The preorders are about to start in one and a half hours, as this is when it's 00:00am in Germany, which means it's May 1st!

We had to do some last-time changes with the downpayment price to be sure we will have enough funds to fund start of the production, even if something bad happens.

We kept the promise to keep the normal Pyra at 500 EUR (without VAT), the downpayment for it will be 330 EUR. The 4G version will be at 600 EUR (without VAT), the downpayment for it will be 400 EUR.

In case you want to get two or more units of the Pyra, you will get a discount of 5% (which are applied when you do the final payment).

As many were asking for a 4GB unit, we added that one as well - for 30 EUR more. However, we do not yet know if that works well, so in case it doesn't, you will get a 2GB unit (and of course won't have to pay the 30 EUR more in the end).

The downpayment is the same.

As some users have asked to pay more upfront, simply buy additional shop vouchers from here: http://www.dragonbox.de/46-gift-vouchers You can then use these vouchers for the final payment.

If you want to further support us (which would be very welcome, as we can need every cent!), simply add as many donations as you want from here: http://www.dragonbox.de/103-donations

The following payment methods will work: ----------------------------------------

* Bankwire transfer (cheapest for us) * Credit Card payment * BitCoin payment

PayPal payment is not available since they didn't allow crowdfunding. Please note that for security reasons, the credit card needs to be registered in the same country as your IP is registered to. In case you still have issues with the payment, please contact your bank as international payments might be blocked for your card (this depends on your credit card company)

Both Bitcoin and Bankwire payment will take a while, but your place in the queue will be decided when you placed your order. The 200 pre-preorderers don't need to hurry, as they already have their place in the spot.

You can find all available units and place your preorder here: https://www.dragonbox.de/45-pyra

Be sure to carefully read the product description as well as the Preorder FAQ (https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/pages/preorder/) which I will update during the next two hours based on the questions you had.

Now... let's get things started. I hope we will get enough preorders pretty soon, but I still wanted to keep everything low in order to give you followers the chance to preorder first!

I'll concentrate on a nice video of the Pyra and official press releases soon :)

Really, I can't thank you enough for your ongoing support. Everyone here at the "Lange Nacht der Computerspiele" who tried the Pyra prototype was amazed by it - and all Pandora users loved the new nubs.

It's great seeing so much interest, especially considering how much time and effort we've already put into it!

Thanks... just thanks :D I love you guys :D
