It seems all the other VR manufacturers are revealing at CES, so it sort of makes sense for Sony to reveal it now as to not appear to be catching up.

No, they don't. But why not if you have the opportunity to. I don't see how announcing it during this conference would be worse than if they just slip out a press release in a month or two.
I don't think there's much talk about TVs or phone or cameras in PS conferences usually.

Have consoles or addon prices been announced there? That's a developer show.
Same.
I'd like to see the new TVs as well since i'll probably be buying a new one soon.

Haven't they been using pictures of the PSVR in promo material for CES? I don't expect to see major game announcements but I'd be surprised if PSVR wasn't there.
Yeah, I thought of putting the bundle at $599, but that probably would be off-putting and they probably wouldn't go there. So I went for the crazy road
I wouldn't be that surprised to see PSVR mentioned rapidly, but maybe, just maybe, they see it as a possible strategic positioning in terms of display. In that case, it would get a much bigger presentation.
It will be very interesting to see if they consider it a PS4 peripheral (mentioned), or a true platform (like Shu hinted at) that is of strategic importance (given the positioning of Samsung and HTC in that sector).
There's more power to make a splash going last though in my opinion.

We will get a release date, but no price. Preorders will also open up after the show.
That's my prediction.
EDIT: E3 is not possible due to Q1/Q2 release.

Will probably announce delay to holiday '16
And price @ e3

Disney's Frozen VR Experience confirmed
Retailers won't put up preorders without a price. Places like Amazon might end up charging too little guessing what the actual price is and then get screwed by their price guarantees.

We got PS Now beta news last year.

My bet.
They show a black screen for 2 minutes.
On the 3rd minute,Knack fades into view.
Followed by Crash Bandicoot wearing a PSVR.

Didn't the PS3 launch at this price? I wouldn't put it past them.
Consoles usually get their own shows. And yes things have been announced at GDC just not usually big consumer facing announcements.

VR is not just seen as a gaming platform tho. It is tech, and a pretty major advancement in tech if you believe in what VR could be. Yes gaming is Sony's main focus for their VR headset, but VR is covered just as much in tech outlets as it is in gaming outlets.
Read some of the pre-CES predictions, there was a pretty good amount of talk about VR.
It's illegal in a lot of countries to have preorders without a price
Yes in the live event viewer if you don't have it you have 3 minutes to download it it's only 50 MB

Alright! Let's do this!
I just want to see Kaz on stage again. That'll be enough for me
Doubt they'll be the first one to announce a price for VR. I think Oculus is hoping they will so that they can undercut them tomorrow morning, but this generation Sony has been very careful with pricing announcements and I suspect they'll let Oculus show their hand first

Any way to watch it on PS4?
There's an app on the store.

Get ready to be disappointed if you're expecting major PSVR news. Not until GDC 2016.
Or a bit of Maggie Gyllenhaal.

I think Sony's taken the position that they're not really in competition with HTC/Valve or Oculus, primarily because they're aiming for the home console market and the others aren't. So I don't think they're worried about playing catch-up and are probably banking on people being turned off by having to buy a PC in addition to a headset.

How does Oculus pricing effect Sony? I think the overlap between people who want a VR headset for their PC and those who want one for the PS4 is pretty small.
I mean if you play most of your games on PC, the choice is obvious same for the PS4.

I saw Uncharted.
Oculus ain't undercutting shit even if they wanted to.
Yep, the Live Events Viewer.
