One of the big reasons that I bought my PS3 when the console first came out was so I could use it as a Blu-ray player. As it turns out that was a great decision thanks to the myriad of new features that Sony adds to the device like the coming 3D update.

Joystiq reports that Sony has shrunk the OS the PS3 uses from 120MB down to 50MB. The really good news is that the electronics giant is playing Robin Hood and has given that extra RAM to game developers to play with.

MSI has a world’s first on it’s hands with the 3D AIO, which is ready to unveiled at next week’s CeBIT 2010 show in Germany. It’s the world’s first large screen all-in-one PC that can handle 1080p 3D video.

The 3D AIO features a 24-inch 120Hz LED display, 1080p resolution, and will come with 3D shutter glasses. That’s about all the details we have currently and we would like to know which processor it has. Expect this to be the first of many 3D all-in-one announcements this year.

The GoBandit HD GPS camcorder offers 720p HD video recording capability, is waterproof and comes with a lens that rotates. It also has built-in GPS which shows your current and maximum speed as well as altitude on a 3D map. Pretty neat.

If you like you can attach it to a helmet, goggles or other equipment. It weighs just 145 grams. Great for those with an active lifestye. The GoBandit HD GPS camcorder will retail for about $400 when it becomes available.

Craving some new arcade gaming head gear? How about this fashionable new “Metal Gear Arcade” head gear? The arcade game is based on Metal Gear Online and the head gear adds 3D and head-tracking. There’s also a gun controller and to complete the experience, the sit down arcade cabinets even pump out 5.1 sound.

This new arcade version of the game will be ready to play at the AUO Expo in Japan this week. We aren’t sure when you will be able to buy and wear this head-gear yourself though.

3D is a real pain in the ass. First, all of this new fancy 3D equipment is costing you a lot. But it’s not just the price. Your receivers can’t pass 3D signals because they aren’t equipped with HDMI 1.4. Here’s some more bad news. Only one of Sony’s 4 new receivers supports 3D.

The 7.1 channel, 110W STR-DN1010 will be Sony’s “affordable” 3D receiver. It will cost you $500 when it becomes available this June. It’s the first to support HDMI 1.4 3D pass-through technology over 4 HDMI ports.

If you’re looking for a puzzle game that makes Rubik’s cube seem easy, this is for you brainiac. The Superplexus is a 36 inch diameter sphere that holds a 300 foot long maze track around which you have to guide a wooden marble.

Sure that sounds like fun, but you can imagine the frustration. The first frustration will be the price. $30,000. The true puzzle here is how you will come up with the money and why you would want to spend thirty grand on this thing.

Panasonic is releasing the new DMP-BDT300. The 3D Blu-ray player uses the company’s UniPhier LSI chip which allows output of Full HD images of 1080p quality in the frame-sequential method. You simply need a pair of active shutter glasses and a 3D-ready TV and you are good to go.

The DMP-BDT300 will also upscale your DVDs. Some other features include DLNA support, USB, SD memory card slot and support for JPEG, DivX Plus HD, MP3, AVCHD, MPEG2 and JPEG content.

3D is coming whether you like it or not. Whether it’s a flash in the pan or here to stay, you will still want to get some new gear. Panasonic’s new 3D screen may not be the one. It does sport a 25.5 inch LCD screen and comes with HD support.

Panasonic says that the 3D HD screen is for “reviewing 3D footage at a work station or in the field”. It also features dual HD-SDI so you can connect with other 3D hardware and DVI interfaces. And it comes with a pair of polarizing 3D eyeglasses. But this may not be the one for you due to its $9,900 price tag.

The rush to push out 3D devices continues and Acer is doing their part with the announcement of the Acer S5200 3D video projector with a 120Hz refresh rate. Just connect it to a computer with a compatible graphics card, wear a pair of shutter glasses and you’re ready to enjoy 3D.

The Acer S5200 will throw throw an 81″ image from as near as a meter away and is compatible with LAN control systems like Crestron. Some other specs include an HDMI port, 3,000 ANSI lumens brightness, a 2,500:1 contrast ratio, native XGA resolution and a 4:3 aspect ratio.

Navigon has had a GPS navigation app for the iPhone for a long time now. The company has announced that it is releasing some important updates for the app that add new features users will really like. Among the new features is social networking interaction.

The app can now send location information and ETA data to Twitter or Facebook if desired without interfering with the GPS nav function. The new update also adds new views to the maps using data from NASA.

Panasonic Japan, just like everyone else, is going 3D crazy. Today they presented 6 3D products to be rolled out soon. And the company has priced and dated these new TVs, Blu-ray recorders and players for the Japanese market.

The VIERA TH-P54VT and TH-P50VT2 feature 54 inches and 50 inches of screen size. Both plasma TVs are full HD with 3D. Sadly you need to wear Active shutter glasses for that 3D experience. Some other specs include a contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1, VIERA link, web connectivity, 4 HDMI ports, multiple TV tuners, eco-mode, full range 16×4cm×2 speakers and a 10cm sub-woofer. Be prepared to pay a premium for the 3D experience.

It looks like a new version of a view-master. That’s because this baby is all about shooting 1080p RAW video in stereo. We don’t know much about it right now, but Ikonoskop is just teasing us with some specs. One thing we do know is that we likely won’t be able to afford one.

But we want one. The company already has a $10k 1080p RAW camera, the A-cam dII, and now it’s using the same tech for 3D. With battery and memory this guy weighs 6 pounds and will be able to record 25 or 30 fps in individual RAW sequences and will be built on order.

3D is all the rage right now, so we’ll be seeing tons of 3D technology this year. This one is from Acer. The GD235HZ is a 23.6-inch, 1080p LCD display, with 3D capabilities that require NVIDIA’s 3D Vision active shutter glasses, which are sold separately.

The LCD itself will cost ya $399 and an additional $199 for the NVIDIA kit. You’ll also need a compatible graphics card. Yeah, if you are going 3d, it isn’t cheap, but you already knew that. And there isn’t much 3D content right now either.

3D TVs aren’t even available yet, neither are 3D Blu-ray discs. But if you want to buy into the whole 3D craze I guess you better start buying stuff. How long the fad will last is anybody’s guess, but hey at least you’ll be all set right?

Samsung’s BD-C6900 is the company’s first 3D Blu-ray player, and its available now for pre-order on Amazon. Samsung wants you to buy your 3D gear now, not later when you can actually use it. You can still put on the glasses and pretend. Who’s going to know?

Check out the new Sky+HD box for £249. It will store up to 1TB worth of data. That’s four times more storage than its predecessor, or to put it another way, 10 days of High Definition programs. On one hand, that’s awesome, on the other, who has time to watch it all?

Similar to the previous Sky+HD box, this model is also compatible with Sky 3D, which is being readied for release later this year along with Sky’s on-demand service. If you do have time to watch it all, it will store every second of it. Maybe take a ten day vacation and catch up on all your TV.
