If this was say $75 I would probably get it, but otherwise it should be 1080p and completely wireless.

Their direct competition is $350, Celluon Picopro, exact same tech and specs.

Here is a calculation tool for what you can expect to see at what distance
http://www.projectorcentral.com/Celluon-PicoPro-projection-calculator-pro.htm

The important number is image brightness, displayed in fl (foot-lambert). Cinema screens are usually calibrated at 14fl. Your home tv can go all the way up to 50fl. At 15" diagonal you're in bright lcd tv range. At 28" diagonal you reach 14fl with that projector, useful in low ambient light. At 40" you're already down to half as bright as a movie theater. At 60" 1/4 or a movie theater or 3fl, still visible in total darkness after your eyes adjust.

It's cool to have but promoting it can go up to 120" is false marketing imo. You need to have very good eyes and a high gain screen to see anything at that size. Anyway, add the Sony name on it, expect at least $400.


I don't care what the competition is, if they want me to buy it, that is what I want.

If the competition is $350, then they are that much of a bad deal imo



Prediction for console Lifetime sales:

Wii:100-120 million, PS3:80-110 million, 360:70-100 million

[Prediction Made 11/5/2009]

3DS: 65m, PSV: 22m, Wii U: 18-22m, PS4: 80-120m, X1: 35-55m

I gauruntee the PS5 comes out after only 5-6 years after the launch of the PS4.

[Prediction Made 6/18/2014]

I'm calling it, nobody will care. Market it as seperate from PS4, and maybe.

They're probably trying to get some exposure by linking it to the PS4. Both Sony's and Celluon's 2 models are licensed PicoP tech from MicroVision. I had never heard of Celluon before this 'ps4 projector' announcement so I guess it worked.

This is what you can expect from it anyway


It's actually better than I imagined

On second thought, you've a real good point, I was purely thinking of it from a purely PS4 peripheral standpoint.
