The provisional release date for here in NZ seems to be mid-November, according to Mighty Ape.

The price is in NZD, of course.

Thanks for the info looks promising esp not having split screen for 2 player games cool

do you think you be able to watch 3d blu ray movies on this screen as well or is it for 3d games only

 

[Renze]

I think it'll do 3D movies too.

I imagine it will playback 3D Bluray movies via the PS3, but to be honest I doubt they [the movies in 3D that is] will look very good on that small a screen.

When they make 3D movies they decide beforehand what screen size & aspect ratio screen the 3D will be designed to be viewed at, any screen that differes from those spec is a compromise, the smaller the screen the bigger [worse] the difference is going to be.

It would be good for games though, as they are designed on a monitor of a similar size, so the 3D playback at home for that on this monitor should be pretty spot on.

I'd wait awhile before getting one. The screen is only  24" and Sony haven't confirmed yet if they're going to make/release larger versions of it.

About the price; I've moved to the UK from Australia and games/blurays seem to be a lot cheaper here, yet Game.co.uk have it for £449.99 which converts to AUD $693.88 (as of 21/10/2011) which is way over the USD price.

Personally, I love the concept of this display, but the price doesn't seem worth it for a 24" TV with a lot of missing features that the larger 3D televisions have.

Again, I'd wait.
