Lol haters gonna hate, disolitude (despite being anti Sony) generally has good points which is why I remain skeptical, but if the 3D is in fact good I could see myself getting it and the price point seems ideal when you pay attention to specs. I would probably buy this when it hits around 600 (better than spending the money on a shitty ipad). If it somehow has Vita connectivity, this would be the ideal roadtrip device (or long bus rides as long as you're not near ghetto hoods).

These have been around for a while. People should try them to see what they feel like.  I tried this one about a year ago - http://www.vuzix.com/consumer/products_wrap310xl.html

Wasn't bad but it wasn't as cool as it seems. Res was too low and the screen clarity wasn't great. Sony one obviously improves on the res...but still 1280x720 is nothing to brag about at that size.

Vuzix have something like this which would compete with Sony's 3D headset - http://www.vuzix.com/consumer/products_wrap_1200.html

I like that design better but still to expensive at 499.

They do look interesting. Honestly if I can sit in a comfy gaming chair in the corner with a clean image and a good level of immersion without disturbing other people watching TV, that becomes priceless to me. For example playing SP games or playing online (KZ3 comes to mind). If I want to play with other people in the room that's what my TV is for (plan on getting about a 55 inch LED soon). Some people that have posted here just do so for the sake of trolling and do not pay attention at the target market of the product. You have the anti Sony and huge f......supporters of other consoles with the usual " but..but this kills the social aspect boo hoo" well duuuuuhhhh what the hell do you think it's for? For social aspect you have the TV, and this product is OBVIOUSLY meant for someone that wishes to be immersed in a game especially without causing a ruckus for those in the household ie, Deus Ex campaign with volume blasting and immersing yourself in the story, or choosing to just go online for KZ3. Again the hating is getting too old here, so if you're going to post add to the discussion, otherwise it becomes clear trolling based on post history. And thank you Disolitude for showing those links, definitely good alternatives to look at. BTW have you tried Deus Ex on the PC? And when compared to the first one, have you liked it so far? I personally have alot in about 4 hrs in that I am.

I havent had a chance to give Deus Ex a go yet...Street Fighter 3 online has consumed my gaming life since it came out. Something like Deus could work very well with these glasses.

Honestly, if they are able to implement head tracking with this, with 3D, and 1080p per eye resolution in the future...screw social gaming...this will be a total immersion package and only way to game. We will all be walking around our rooms blindly, knowcking shit over while playing Deus ex 4... :)

That is very true (about the head tracking). Dude if you get the chance play Deus Ex go for it. I will be the firs to admit that although I try my best not to be biased I do tend to support Sony (I know when to criticize as well), but I ended up getting the PC version and did not regret it at all. Amazon US had a deal for 35$ AND you got the preorder bonus (might still be up check it out). If you liked Bladerunner, this game has moments where it reminds you of that movie.

I am straying off topic there, but honestly I do think that Sony device deserves a chance (if the public's reviews hold up well) despite being 720p, depending on the refresh rate. Oh another thing yea SF 3: TS is probably my favorite one but I am a bit behind mastering it. Atm I am working on doing a full parry on Chun Li's super after I saw (100 times) the video of Daigo making the sickest comeback against Justin Wong in that EVO tournament (watch it if you haven't done so already).
