OT - EA

OT - EA - Google announced yesterday its line-up of future products and prospects. Including their own approach to VR - unlike others, they will not manufacture the hardware, or at least anything more than the basics - they will put out a very stringent OS (I think they you can't deviate much from the OS design, as today is the case), and leave it to other companies to build their hardware around it. Thus, it works with Androd smartphones that will be running the new Adroid software (much like Samsung's product works with their phones/tablets.) There were a number of companies who were mentioned as to having already 'signed on' to supplying hardware or software - with two VG companies - EA and UBI already on the boat and will be designing VR games for the platform.

While of course I don't expect an immediate impact, Jester has spoken of again buying into EA pre-E3 if the price has regressed towards - around 70? IIRC. But I'm wondering - have I got that right about EA's price, and, given that it's clear (I think) that this project has been going on for some time obviously, will/can EA put on any kind of a potential 'stunner' demonstration, or is that impossible, it being way early in development of even the software so far, if I've got that right.
