Just a heads up - this is not Sony's attempt at a VR headset. They say it's a media viewer (the same one they've been developing for several years now). The media tried to make it into a Rift competitor, but Sony is not currently getting into VR.

This is a mobile media viewer with a 45 degree view and high latency head tracking. It will not do VR. It emulates a screen at the end of a tunnel.
