This could be interesting. After getting some hands on time with the Oculus Rift last week, I can't wait to get my hands on a VR headset for my home setup. Hopefully Sony's solution will be as good as the Rift.

TimeSplitters Rewind (4) is in development for the PS4. Huzzah?

Wonder if it could be 2015+ before Gaikai stuff comes to non-US territories?

I find this really weird... I thought many European countries (particularly the ones with high purchasing power) had significantly faster broadband speeds than what's available in the US?

Meh, I'm sure they'll fix the FOV and weight issues for this generation. They've already added head tracking.
I've heard the Sony display quality destroys the Occulus

To be fair from what my bro-in-law has stated with his, almost anything could destroy the default Occulus display quality - he's been tinkering a ton to get another screen to work on his because of his disappointment with it. (With mixed results thusfar)

Yeah, they use OLED displays like the PS Vita. I'm hoping that the Rift can get them into their final production model as well, but it might push the system out of their intended price-range.

Where did you hear anything about the sony display?
The current oculus dev kits have shit displays, I guess the 1080p prototypes they have are much better but still not quite high resolution enough. Which is pretty exciting to think about given how much fov you have to get to have that problem. I'm guessing they'll need ~1600 verticle pixels to do it right, and eventually they'll need to move the fov from 90 to 160 or something and maybe use flexible display.
Fuck the VR field is exciting, can't wait to get an oculus or something similar.

I remember playing a Vr fps type game like 20 years ago. I felt fucking retarded and couldn't hit anything. Found an article from 20 years back about the place I used to go.

Honestly... Don't hate me... But I bet Kinect or PSeye would could work pretty well with tracking where your gun was pointed while having the headset independently control where your head was.
Or maybe I'm having some kind of weird perspective disconnect. Fucking VR.
@Tuco: just some forum I was browsing earlier today. Pretty unanimous.
Having used both, the Sony headset and the Oculus Rift are incomparable. The Oculus Rift takes over your entire vision. It transports you to another world. The Sony headset, on the other hand, shows you a large-ish rectangle in the center of your vision where movies/games/etc. are shown. It's like watching a TV in a really, really dark room. Sure, the Sony headset is sharper and more detailed, but it doesn't provide half as much immersion as the Rift.
I can see this being a problem for Sony, assuming they do release a VR helmet for the PS4. Next gen console games, on the whole, are aiming for 1080p30, and, to be totally honest, they don't look too impressive. A lot of graphical compromises would have to be made to get those games running at 1600p60 or even 1080p60.
