PSVR was officially launched at GDC 2015.
I may end up wrong, but I fully expect a dev oriented full Sony presser revolving around the PSVR at GDC 2016, ending with price and date.

Well Project Morpheus was initially revealed at GDC, but that was to get developers on board. I think that's why people think price/date for PSVR will be announced there but I doubt it.

Na Morpheus was unveiled, i.e. a dev kit. I'm betting Sony will either have their own event for it or it'll be delayed and you'll get something at E3. Wouldn't really make sense to launch price and date for a consumer product at GDC.

At first I was like "lol what a coincidence!" Then I saw it was pre-price announcement for Rift. Still hesitant though.
PSVR isn't much different from having a Vita or Wii U pad inside of a headset there is no reason for PSVR to be over $400 unless that box that comes with it has some really high tech stuff inside of it but I don't think so.
It's a PlayStation Move with a 5" OLED screen & headgear. I'm oversimplifying it but it's not as crazy as people seem to think it is. some of the stuff in PSVR is already in the PS4 controller.

Yup. The evidence stacks up for sure. I'm just wondering what kind of deal Sony has with Activision regarding Crash more than anything. It'll be huge if they've somehow obtained the rights to the IP.
Let's go the extreme route and say for a second they bought the IP. The only way that leaks is through trademarks or financials. In such a contract, there would be a clause to hold off on the assignment of trademarks or copyright until such a date that the new owner and the old owner agree would be best. That would happen either a few days before an announcement or the day of the announcement, as the transfer would be a business move, not a publicity move, and as such you don't want to market it.
Let's go the more likely route, and say a game is in development and co-published by Sony and Activision (coincidentally enough the exact same way the original Crash games were published -- by Sony and what was once called Universal Interactive, an entity that is now part of Activision today) -- there aren't any need for new trademarks, Activision already has trademarks to cover that game. They don't need to register any new domains, they already have CrashBandicoot.com. They don't need to put the game through the IARC (ESRB, PEGI, etc) until it's almost done. There aren't a whole lot of ways for the game to leak other than by people in the know -- and technically, we have had that, with people like BruceLeeRoy and Verendus (?) teasing it happening.
