I find this story odd.

I was actually looking into the 3dtv's this weekend. Buggger all information anywhere about them in the UK so far. I am going to go to a big Comet store on the way home from work and see what they have on display.

I actually think Sky could steal a march on the PS3 (or any 3d enabled Blu-Ray player), they will have 3d channels (including sport) and presumably box office movies to rent as 3d.

While its cool that anyone who already owns a PS3 gets a 3D bluray upgrade, people that own a semi decent computer should be able to get a 3D bluray player much cheaper than PS3s 299.

Here is the cheapest legal option...if you dont mind doing illegal things its even cheaper.

Indeed, and I think Samsung (largest selling HDTV's) will bundle TV's with appropriate blu-ray players too.  As will LG and Sony probably.

Bestbuy in canada is already offering samsungs 3D stuff and its so bloody expensive.

40 inch 3D TV - 2499

3D bluray player - 399

2 sets of glasses + monsters vs aliens bundle - 449

I cant help but gloat and feel good about my purchase in 2008. I bought a 67 inch 3D capable LED based DLP TV for 2400. It supports everything...3d blurays (with 60 dollar bluray drive), Nvidia 3D vision (which cost me 200 bucks), and most likely the PS3... I've been enjoying 3D for over a year now and am doing it on a bigger screen for less money :)

Not to mention that my TV does all this with zero ghosting cause its DLP technology. I saw Sonys and Samsungs new 3D tvs and some ghosting is still present since LCDs have refresh rate to worry about.

good for your T.V. purchase.
