The OnePlus One’s invite system is going away… kinda

Despite the company’s promises to launch the OnePlus One in full last year, OnePlus has stuck with its annoying invite system with only a few special events being the exception. While the invite system isn’t going away, the company has announced that users will have the opportunity to purchase the OnePlus One without an invite every Tuesday. 

While the OnePlus One invite system will remain the standard route for being able to purchase the device, OnePlus has taken a big first step to more wide-spread availability. The company has announced that the phone will be available via open sale periods every single Tuesday from here on out, beginning tomorrow. The sale period lasts a whopping 24 hours — a big jump from the usual 2-hour window these typically have — and begins at midnight Pacific (that’s 8am for you folks in London). What’s more is that even those who buy the phone during the open sale will receive an invite to dish out to a friend who wants to buy one.
