PS3 bringing 3D to games in 2010 |
In case you have been living under a rock, the big thing right now is 3D and the 3D bandwagon is bursting at the seams from so many people jumping on board. The PlayStation 3 is the latest on the 3D bandwagon, bringing a 3D mode to Sony’s console that will work with all existing games sometime in the next year.
To enjoy this feature, you will of course need a new TV that supports 3D. So it may be a while until this is really common. It’s one interesting direction that consoles are headed in, but what do you guys think of the whole 3D momentum? Is it over-hyped or is this really the future of gaming? We want to hear your thoughts.


The PS4 may be a long way off yet, but designer Tai Chiem already has all of the details worked out and it looks awesome. If only the PlayStation 4 could be like this. It sports a high end touch screen instead of the glossy body that the current generation has. And he’s even incorporated that touchscreen design into the controller, which is really cool.
Sony just announced a new Gran Turismo PSP Entertainment Pack that will hit retail shelves on October 20th for $199.99. Here’s what you get: Mystic Silver PSP-3000 system, Gran Turismo PSP game on UMD, a PlayStation Network downloadable voucher for a white Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, a color exclusive to this entertainment pack, 2GB Memory Stick PRO Duo, PlayStation Network downloadable movie voucher and a Sony Music Pass voucher good for 10 downloadable songs.
The first thing you may notice about the SRS-GD50iP is the oversized subwoofer. Which makes the whole setup look a bit odd. Despite that, Sony is all about convergence here, with the speakers able to serve as a 2.1 PC set via USB. They can also use the same connection to sync up and charge your Apple device if you like.
We’re used to seeing alarm clocks, digital photo frames, and iPod/iPhone docks that are boring and simple. But lately manufacturers have been delivering some more elegant products. Like the upcoming ICF-CL75iP, which features a crisp 7 inch color WVGA (800 x 480) LCD, 1GB of built-in storage, and a retractable iPod/iPhone dock.
The Sony Bravia line of TVs aren’t just all about huge TVs for your living room, they also want to help you with keeping things portable, with the XDV-S700. The XDV-S700 is the latest portable Bravia 1Seg TV that features a mere 5mm chassis with a 5” widescreen display that sports WQVGA resolution.
Sony’s DPF-D72N/BQ digital photo frame looks like it was halfheartedly attacked with a bedazzler in order to make it look like one of those fancy cowboy shirts. Swarovski crystals aside, the frame features a 7″ LCD WVGA display at 800 x 480 resolution, 1GB of internal memory and an Auto-Resizing adjustment system that will downsize photos without much image deterioration.
Sony is offering up a drip-proof remote with the RM-PZ3SD universal remote control. So worry not, you can sit on the couch and spill your drink and be as sloppy as you like while flipping through channels with your pizza greased fingers.
Sony just released its Reader Daily Edition wireless model that sports 3G. The Daily Edition is the latest in its line of Readers, along with the Reader Pocket Edition and the Reader Touch Edition. The Reader Pocket Edition has a 5″ electronic paper display and comes in navy blue, rose and silver for $199.
Sony just released its latest Walkman, the S540, in the US. The S540 features 2.4″ of viewing real estate and a pair of stereo speakers, so you can listen to your songs without headphones. An integrated microphone lets you record voice notes to yourself and you also get a built-in FM radio.
If you’ve been putting off that pre-order for the new PS3 Slim, you might want to get moving on it. Amazon US has warned of shortages for the new slim PlayStation 3 when the system launches next month. It’s limiting Slim sales to just one per person per household.
Looks like Sony is still going full speed ahead with their Memory Stick line. They just recently announced their 32GB PRO-HG Duo HX card and a 32GB PRO Duo card, which doubles the capacity of current products. The 32GB PRO-HG Duo HX was developed for use mainly with Sony’s Handycam camcorders, Alpha DSLRs and Cyber-shot compact cameras, and features a 20MBps read speed and 15MBps.
You know that Sony loves those
Sony has a new ALTUS audio product range for the iPod/iPhone. The “premium” ALT-SA31iR multi-room iPod package is comprised of an iPod / iPhone docking station and a pair of wireless speakers, along with an AM / FM tuner and an LCD-equipped S-AIR remote commander.
NVIDIA GPUs have been at the center of some notable issues with laptops. The GPU was a weak link in some Apple notebooks when the new Mac models with NVIDIA GPUs debuted. Sony is also having a problem with the GPUs in some of its notebooks.
