Also the battery they are using at the moment seems to be almost useless as it’s draining in 30 minutes for some.
They really need to update it as Quest 3 draws just too much power.

Damn, maybe I missed it? I'm not seeing anything on the rain forest for the Bobovr M3.
Soldato
It's out of stock now
On the bobo m2 ? Or is it the m3 as well?
On the m3 as well as they are still using the same battery I think.
I think so too
Not worth getting any battery add ons until meta put a fix out or a statement

I guess they've been getting small amounts of stock and selling it quick as expected. Apparently the 24th (tomorrow) is meant to be the proper day for the rainforest to get a lot of stock. But then, maybe I should hold off if there's a battery issue. Hmm, don't know if I'll buy it right now or not. On the other hand, maybe I could buy one and Bobo will replace it after they've updated with a battery that doesn't drain.
you'll be fine
is yours a high prescrition ? (mines -9 -11) and they are very thick (like the ones in my glasses frames) if yours is a lot lower, they will be really thin, so make sure you dont put them on wrong (glass to lenses)
the other side has a lip

Nice, that's really quick! I was wondering when I'd get an update for mine as I ordered on Friday. You prompted me to check my emails and I just saw they sent me an email at midday today with a tracking link. The tracking says 'Arrived at origin facility Mainland China, CN. Local Time 10:38'. I think they're 8 hours ahead so that must have been 2.38pm today. Hope mine is as quick and maybe I'll get them by the end of the week with any luck.
just tried it, whilst the quest is ON, it is charging through the soundcore
my powerbank is a 25W Anker one

My HonsVR tracking has updated and it now says it departed sort facility from Mainland China at 5.15pm our time with an icon of an airplane next to it. I wonder if that means it's already in the air on its way to the UK.

Very cool. I've got an INIU Power Bank 10000mAh, 22.5W PD3.0
that I bought a couple of years ago. I'll connect it to my headset and see how my battery is after an hour or two.

Still no Bobovr M3 to buy anywhere and supposedly today was when the rainforest would have it in stock. 
Someone on Reddit suggested that Meta might have paid Bobo to delay sales.

Ordered one yesterday, so should be here on Monday.
Don't believe most of the stuff you read on Reddit.

Yeah it's probably not the case at all. Still, it makes sense that Meta want to sell as many Elite headstraps as possible and they're obviously aware that Kiwi Design and BoboVR are the best out there which can kill Meta sales. So it's possible they could have asked them to minimise their availability. I mean, there's only a few BoboVR headsets popping up now and again and certainly no sign of Kiwi Design yet. You'd think by now those two companies would have been ready to sell thousands of units.

These are very small companies. They are only going to make stuff in batches and there isn't going to be much stock available at any stage. They are going to try to match production with Demand in as much as possible.
And no, it's not possible that Meta told Kiwi design and BoboVR to minimize their sales.
