According to a new report, the PlayStation VR release date was accidentally leaked earlier this week, spoiling one of Sony's biggest reveals of 2016.

Vrse - a company who has produced VR experiences for major entertainment events including U2 and Saturday Night Live - is reportedly the source of the information, listing the launch as April 2016.

It is currently not possible to verify this information and could even just be an old listing, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is now scheduled to arrive in the same month, potentially creating a major clash.

To add credence to the potential leak, fans have now noticed that the PlayStation release date on Vrse's official website has now disappeared, along with the HTC Vive Summer 2016 launch and another for Apple TV.

Sony themselves have stated previously that their VR tech will be released in the first half of 2016, while other leaks have put the eventual launch later in 2016.

Sony's Virtual Reality product was posted by a Swiss online retailer, priced at 498 Swiss francs, or £347, which is significantly lower than the Rift's starting price of £499.

The same website says that the headset will be available from June 30, but nothing has been confirmed by Sony for now.

Select retailers in limited locations will be allowed to stock the Oculus Rift from April, so we could possibly see the PlayStation VR's release date and price confirmed very shortly.

Personally, April seems early. But, it is possible that Sony annouces the price and release date at GDC, opens up Pre-orders right then and there, and then has a late April launch. I think that would be pretty bold, what do you guys think?

even april 30th is less than 3 months away. you'd think they'd open pre-orders by now if they are shipping in april. oh well, with gdc next week we'll probably know everything we need to know by then (or can safely assume april isn't happening).

GDC is next month, it's March 14th through the 18th.

Hmm, seems too soon. I can't wait to try it hands on.

I think that is way to early and Sony should launch it around mid November for the Christmas rush.

I have high hopes for the PSVR and believe it is the most viable of the early VR consoles.

I expect Sony to reveal everything for E3; The price, release date for late this year, and new/compatible games.

Yeah I would launch it around the holidays, and for 299-349$ (if possible sell for even, or slight loss on units).

i read well obviously.     >.<

Oops.

Seems plausible.Even if the price is at 300 dollars, it wont win anyone other the ones that have already the mind set on buying it.So announcing the price near its launch to mitigate negative reaction seems like a good idea in my opinion

You guys think Sony is going to push PSVR out of the first half of this year? Why?
