i already have a 46" 3D sony tv but this one is so cheap that i seriously consider getting it for my second lan-party ps3 which is currently hooked up to a ol'CRT tv , anyone else planning to get it ? considering id get resistance 3 anyway its even cheaper for me minus the price of that game , and that newsplit screen feature is looking very interresting , hope they make a FW upgrade for the existing sony 3DTVs to enable that feature

No thanks. I already bought an HDTV just for my PS3. Don't want to buy another one for a while.

thats understandable , but you have to agree this is a great deal and will help the 3Dgames to spread to a wider audience

Depends how good that TV is. The price seems too good for a 3D TV.

This actually looks pretty interesting, especially the splitscreen thing. What size is that tv for that price? Although I very much doubt it would be anywhere near that good price (if they even sell it at all) in rip off Ireland >:(

I'd like to check out some games in 3D, but I really have no interest in waching movies in 3D. For $500, it's kind of tempting. But 24" is pretty small, and I'd have to buy another PS3 to use it (I'm not disconnecting my PS3 from my 32" TV to plug it into a 24" TV, even if it is 3D), so that's a total of $800. A little expensive for me.

Nice product though.

All though i don't really have much interest in 3D, this does really seem a great deal to widen the install base and i am actually quite tempted now.

Sounds cool, looks cool, but I'm just not so desperate for the 3D experience. Mine will do fine for the time being.

Well most 24" monitors are like $150-$200...

Most 24" 120+hz monitors (ie: 3D) are like $300-$400...

But this also includes a TV Tuner (only 24" monitors I know of with that are from Samsung and they are $350, and have no 3D) and the TV tuner means you can do just that, watch TV on it, something you can't do on a plain monitor...

And it has that split screen stuff, which is pretty neat if you play a lot of split screen multiplayer... I for one do not, so that feature is entirely useless to me, but it is still neat having two separate screens be shown on a single monitor for two different people...

Not to mention it comes with a $60 game and their $70 glasses...

So it seems at the very least like an adequate deal...

This looks really cool, but I'm not really into the 3D gimmick. I would love to see this in action though... and the price is good coming from Sony. If I had a small game room, or was in school still this would be perfect.

you must not have played a ps3 3D game yet when u say it's a gimmick , actually playing 3D games like KZ3 and Crysis2 is a huge difference compared to 2D , it's almost like you play a "PS4" or something , it enhances gameplay so much for me , because i actually see depth and you can judge distance much better , the atmosphere in these games thanks to 3D is fanstastic

This screen is one of the things which impressed my during the conference. It looks good and is reasonably priced.

How does it compare to watching movies in 3D versus movies in 2D? If it's on par with that then I'm still not sold on it. Also, I don't like the idea of wearing those goggles for hours while playing games. Sitting in a movie with them on is long enough. Bottom line is I can't rationalize the added cost of 3D gaming... when gaming itself isn't so cheap. I also don't have a 3D TV, and 24" isn't big enough for me.

If it was a 32" tv then I would. 24" is too small. They should have left out the game and drop the price some.

Too small, too pricey for the size, and I'm not interested in 3D...so I'll pass.

It is kinda nice. But 3D gaming is not a huge priority for me. Plus the $500.00 will be going to PSvita system/Memory stick/headphonesand games. Sony will get $500 but not for that TV

if i had the extra cash id get it. im excited for 3d mostly just for gaming not so much movies or tv. cuz when i play i got the mic on and am totally into the game so wearing glasses would not bother me. and you know all sony exclusive will have 3d so it seems worth it. besides the money issue ive never seen how good a 3d tv is and if i like the effect but have hear good things online.

It's tempting but I own a HDTV already but not a 3D tv. If it was bigger I would buy it.

The price is right, but I recently got a 32 inch Bravia, and that's been working fine for me in terms of quality. I'll get a 3D tv once glasses are no longer needed.
