I'm tempted to guess Fishburn.


Or maybe it's PlayStation Eye. Why else would Sony remove the branding from the PS4 camera?


Nah, PlayStation Morpheus makes the most sense.

Morpheus is an awesome name.

This is what I'm hoping/expecting too.  
A bunch of people think it'll be ~400$

Morpheus is good. It reminds people of the matrix, which had VR

Morpheus:
-god of dreams
-matrix

The fact that Morpheus has both of these, I think just makes it a perfect name.

Maybe not. Might just be my speed reading. Sometimes I skip whole words.

I think the name will stay as Morpheus as it's a really cool name. The magic number will be $199, but I think it'll start off at $250.

Yes. I'm at work. I'm shouldn't be on my phone. So I speed read everything.  :(

Those people are stupid.

Only reason it'd cost that much is if Sony targets the enthusiast market and wants big margins.

The hardware is just a screen, some optics, some plastic, and some cheap circuitry.

PS Vita:

Display and touchscreens: $50
Battery: $3.60
Cameras: $3.50
Wi-Fi/BT/GPS: $3.50
NAND: $6.00
SDRAM: $9.25
Processor: $16.00
BB+XCR: $16.25
Non-electronic: $11.00
Other: $30.00
Supporting materials: $10.00

Battery, Cameras, NAND, SDRAM, Processor, and BB+XCR are not in PM.
That reduces it by $58. Plus OLED has advanced and PM trades out touchscreens for higher resolution.

PM launching for $50 less than Vita did makes tons of sense.

I'm going to guess they'll keep the name and call it PlayStation Morpheus. The price tag will be $200 for just the headset. They may also announce bundles that come with a Camera ($250), the Move controllers ($250), or both ($300).
