As you might already know, one needs a Sony PS4 to get started with the company’s PlayStation VR headset. But what if you could try it with your PC instead? While that’s certainly not possible at the moment, the good news is that Sony seems to be open to the idea of making the headset compatible with PCs.

“Since PlayStation 4 shares a lot of its components with PCs, the possibility is there,” said Masayasu Ito, Sony Computer Entertainment’s senior vice president. He, however, made it clear that PC compatibility is not the priority at the moment. “At the moment we are focused on games…

The Xiaomi Mi 4s went official hours before the Mi 5, a teaser of sorts for the headliner. It even made the trip to Barcelona but enjoyed little of the spotlight for obvious reasons. This is the fourth installment in the Mi 4 lineup – hardly breaking news in a week full of high-profile announcements.
