The GC3 sold out before I could make up my mind on the two devices. I was lucky enough to snag a launch pro. Very excited.

If I had to guess, bots and scalpers picked up a bunch.  There was no human verification when trying to purchase.  

non-bot or scalper here who got one! 🤓

But I thought they were making a huge mistake with this pricing?

Haha, I think this thing will be impossible to get your hands on for a while.  Tons of demand out there.

I was leaning towards the GC3 but figured it’d be months at this point before I could get it. Launch Pro it is.

For some reason I feel like I read somewhere they’d start shipping around October 20.

It was just as hard to get a reservation for a Cadillac LYRIQ

You knew they were going to sell out fast for the first initial offering, which I'm guessing is not very many units.  The hype will help sell more I'm sure.  

 

While I don't love Foresight's pricing and lack of options, I do appreciate their quality.  I hope this sets the standard for other simulators coming out in the near future.

 

For those of you that got one, be sure to share your thoughts on it once you get it.

Shocker. Already being posted on eBay, starting bid $4000.

[Brimster]

I never even rec'd the pre-order e-mail that Bushnell promised in their Sept. 30th e-mail...

Won't be the last.  You never know on a lot of these products initial release (or limited release) how much of it is real demand versus flipper demand.

Have any info on when the GC3 sold out? I submitted my CC info Saturday morning…haven’t heard anything yet.

[Kyleraugh]

A sale rep just told me his sales record on show 10 units being released for pre-sale this morning. LOL

I had just seen someone posted that they were sold out as of this morning, actually, and assumed that was right. But I don’t actually know for sure. Maybe that person can weigh in.

I saw that, but I think at one point a few weeks ago either here or on another forum someone said a bushnell rep told them they were targeting October 20 shipments.

If this is the only range that is actually included in the basic package im glad I didnt get my order in. I was going to pre order based on them saying the basic package including the "std range" just like the other packages. After reading some of the comments here I was thinking that it would have to include the regular range from FSX pro just maybe not include the flyover, but if this is legit the only "range" included in a $3,000 launch monitor without a minimum $400 subscription then Bushnell should be ashamed of themselves. 

[RH2020]

when is their official release date tho, I mean after the preorder?

That is exactly what they want us to think haha, hype-generating preorder, with who-knows how many units made available initially

To add insult to injury I just got "Hey...you left something in your cart" email from Bushnell.  🤨😄

That's just cold lol.

This may have already been covered but I didn’t see anything about mobile device integration?

 

If I can’t get my data to my iPad, this is kinda worthless to me. 

 

Kinda what I like best in the teased Full Swing Kit … that’s seemingly never happening.

This is my big question, too.  Reading, sounds like the FX Pro is compatible with an iPad but is that in addition to needing a PC?

[thigos]

@aenemated it will work with just an ipad for data and range.  I believe the PC requirement is for sim capabilites

Talk to a sales rep yesterday, thank god I got my GC3 order in then. 
 

Confirmed with him compatible with iPhone and iPad. Needs computer for the sim.
