During the Sony conference, Jack Tretton emphasized (rather heavily I must add!) the wonders of 3D gaming and the 3D capabilities of the PS3 itself. He also addressed the high cost of 3D and accepted it as a reason that many people have not adopted the idea yet – and that’s why Sony has just unveiled a PlayStation-brand 3D HDTV made affordable to all consumers!
The 24-inch high definition display supports full 3D viewing and will be available this fall in Japan, North America, and European/PAL territories. The 3D TV will come bundled with 3D Glasses, an HDMI cable and the highly anticipated Resistance 3 title from Insomniac Games for PlayStation®3. This bundle will retail for only $499.99 and extra pairs of 3D glasses will be available at $69.99 per pair.
The 3D Display features a 24-inch full HD LCD display and, in an industry first for its size*1, the display adopts quad-speed frame sequential display technology that is able to minimize crosstalk*2 distortion, delivering stunningly realistic 3D viewing experiences. The 3D Display supports several 3D formats, including “frame packing,” “top and bottom” and “side by side,” which will offer users various options for enjoying 3D.
