It's weird how I don't have the money to go out to dinner sometimes (or so I say) but I'll definitely be able to afford this headset. When it comes to something electronic, I always manage to have a grand laying around somewhere! I'll try this out in person at Best Buy when it releases and if it's as cool as I hope it is, I'm getting it! I'll just have to lie to the old lady about the price. Still haven't let her see the 3DS I bought back in June........

You have talent my friend.

Lol that looks horrible.

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.

I'm sorry, but excuse me? Do you have any idea what your talking about...? 1, they are OLED, so it gives a superior picture to most LCD's. Also, how is that resolution nothing to brag about, do you know how resolution works? Its all about PIXEL DENSITY. As in, with this, your going to have the same amount of pixel's in a 0.7 inch screen that you do in say a 32 inch 720p TV. FYI, thats nothing short of mind bogglingly amazing. And currently top of the line as far as any commerical screen tech goes right now. You might want to get your facts straight. Sorry to be so forward, but if you don't know what your talking about, don't comment, as it only spreads misinformation.

And FYI, theres nothing like these for instance, on the market right now, they don't even close to compare to anything out. Also, the media, not to mention every major tech publication is clamoring over this Headset, stating it to be one of the most immersive, visually unbelievable experiences to have come out to the commercial public, to date.

I actually started a thread on this myself, with nothing short of a plethora of information, the lack of information is this thread seriously isn't close to doing it justice. Thats obvious considering the recognition and praise I'm getting for the device in my thread. So any of you non-believers out there might want to take a gander at my thread, as you might, and probably will change your minds. This is, in essence, is the beginning of the future for entertainment IMO.

Dont forget about distance. Your eyes are next to the screen, you will be able to see pixels at 720P. Not to say it will not look good though. But the point of those is definitely the 3D quality not image quality.

Your eyes won't considering how they focus at such a distance, and the optics used, its hard to explain lol. These pixels are at a size that aren't even close to recognizible to the human eye.

When your next to it, they are at a size easily recognizible by the human eye. Just put your TV on 720P, get close to the TV until it take 2/3rd of your viewing range, you will be able to see the pixels whatever is the TV dimension. Just how an image projected by a 720P and a 1080P projector on a 100 inches screen look about the same at 15 feets away, but see an enormous difference at 6 feets away. Closer you are, bigger the difference resolution will do. If your very far from many different TV screens, you will not even be able to tell which is 420P, 720P or 1080P. But when your a couple feets away, its a totally different thing. The ability to differentiate different screen resolution is related to the viewing distance. Thats why disolitude is saying the 720P on those will not look THAT amazing, sure if you look at the .7 inches from 10 centimeters away the resolution will look amazing, but very very small too lol.

If it can shoot optic blasts...I'll totally buy it



"I don't know what this Yamcha is, but it sounds just like Raditz."

When Nintendo announced the 3DS, these forums were full of "lawl they have a portable that displays in 3d, it's gonna be the virtual boy all over again"

When Sony announce the virtual boy 2, these forums are full of "omg looks awesome"

Virtual boy? You're way off...This is nothing like virtual boy...This is like Sony Glasstron. Google it... :)

Seriously, this is a little bit cooler and more versitile than a 7 year old portable device concept with a new 3.5 inch 3D screen. But the price reflects the coolness.

Your misunderstanding here, the pixels are MUCH smaller then a TV, so a comparison such as this is pointless. You will NOT see the pixels, as they are SMALLER then what the human eye is capable of seeing. 1080p, at such small sizes, is rather pointless, let alone completely impossible at the moment. Just to get an idea, so you can actually realize this, same for disolitude as well. So you guys actually both get the premise at what I'm going for here.

Draw a 0.7 inch by 0.7 inch box. That is the screen size for each individual eye. Then looking at that box, and how small it is, realize, sony is cramming in just short of 1 million pixels in that tiny box. Understand? Even up close, your eye is going to be incapable of determining the difference between each individual pixel.

Doesn't matter how small they are in reality. Screen size is always relative to viewing distance. If you blow up a 0.7 x 0.7  inch OLED image to 750 inch display at 20 meters(like they say they are doing), at 720p, you are going to see pixels. Its just simple logic... It won't be terrible by any means, and both myself and Icyedge are used to giant screens at 720p as we both own projectors. This will be on par with our 720p projectors on 80-90 inch screens if they are watched at ~10-15 feet...which is not bad at all.

But lets wait and see...maybe they have figured out some magical way to hide lack of resolution. I actually can't wait to test this thing.
