You know those little "mini" versions of famous snacks that look like adorable, imposter versions of their bigger siblings? That's what the PlayStation VR's processing box reminds me of: a teensy, bite-sized PS4. You can see it hiding out in the corner there like a shy kid at the school dance, backing away from the cameras while its sexier counterpart, the PlayStation VR headset, soaks up all the love.

#PlayStationVR cable features power, volume, mic controls, first images revealed: https://t.co/bMT3PCykef pic.twitter.com/7wzvQxAlzBDecember 5, 2015

If you're just joining us and don't know what the PlayStation VR processing box is, the answer is simple: it's the extra bit of oomph the PS4 needs in order to render virtual reality in a quality way and share it on the television screen for others in the room to view. A previous report suggested that the box would be about the size of a Wii, but judging from the image above, I'd say this looks to be about half of that.

PlayStation VR has no hard release date nor a definite price tag, but I think we can all agree that processing box is just too cute.
