The problem is Sony is on an island of one with their VR, it's exclusive to their own machine. The others are fighting it out on PC hardware. Sony has to cater to a mass audience who are price sensitive especially for stuff like this.

It won't make any difference to the "price sensitive mass audience" if they announce details 5 months or 5 weeks before.

Haha and the Intel Keynote which just followed Sony's started with something using VR....
Non-gaming related though. Some kind of digital art.
Too funny.

Well price at the least, they wouldn't let people pre-order without a price, even though its no money down according to Palmer. They've said it ships in Q1, so I'm guessing starting shipping in February, more due to 2/1 being the last day kickstarter backers can redeem their free Rift.
Hmm shame Sony is still not dipping their toes in OLED TVs, I still believe it's the future.
Definitely in for the hear in earphones, those looked great. And I'm in the market for a TV so I'll probably settle for a 2016 Bravia if the reviews are good.
Shame nothing about PSVR, but I wasn't really expecting anything major.

Any good news with the TVs coming out this year?
lol thats damn good
Sad thing is they use OLED for their Professional Master monitors and tout it. So they know it's great tech. Just I guess they figure they can't make it cheap enough to sell to normal consumers versus $30000 professional monitors I guess.

Not sure if I'm sold on this TV, I would love if they could announce pricing soon. I need a 55 inch tv though.
I LOL'd all GAF gifs. GAF has made Kaz a superstar with all those gifs. My fav is FakeKaz tweets

What is the price on that projector? I wonder if it would have too much input lag for gaming, would be nice to play hearthstone on the table.
Ahahahahaha! He has a great sense of humor.

Because their teaser image showed PS VR (and other stuff like speakers, headphones, cameras and TVs), but actually it was the only thing that did not get stage time.
Really disappointed with Sony on the television front. Where did Crystal LED go? Where did the OLED ventures go? You make PlayStation, at the very least they should consider supporting FreeSync/G-Sync. And all of this comes with a "premium" price to boot. :/And as for Audio, it's hilarious to expect ANY ONE to hear a difference between high resolution files and MP3 on that outdoor speaker.
The only class leading product was the camera and lenses.

H1 2016, so probably Q2 if not delayed.

I wasn't expecting an onstage demo, but I thought someone would come out and explain the PSVR, like specs, games/experiences, road map.
But in hindsight, the PSVR is pretty budget compared to the other products on show. And compared to the other headsets.

Maybe Sony wants to wait and see what their competetion has to offer before locking down the specs? Just like they did with PS4.

How on earth would you be able to pre-order without knowing the price? XD
