The 24-inch display is specifically developed for PS3 owners, and according to Sony, it is perfect for dorm rooms and family rooms. Thanks to stereoscopic glasses, the display can show two different images to players, instead of split screens.
The monitor is bundled with 3D glasses, a 1.8m HDMI cable and Resistance 3 – over $US150 in value just for the accessories, Sony said.
The bundle is priced at $US499, with extra 3D glasses retailing for $US69.99. The PlayStation 3D display will go on sale later in the year.

Tuesday, June 7, 2011 at 11:13 AM$499 for 24″ is pretty pricey, but the two player fullscreen mode is a nice, if a little late, idea.
Hopefully all their 3D bravias will be able to do the same.

But it’s a lot of money for a small monitor.

Tuesday, June 7, 2011 at 12:18 PMGreat idea the only problem is the size. Own a heap of current and old consoles stretching back to the atari 2600 and I am in the market for a dedicated games room TV now that I’ve moved into a house with a dedicated games room.
But 24″ is only good for single player or this 2-in-one fullscreen multiplayer. It’s useless if i want to plug in my xbox and have more than one person play. And who wants to sit back on the couch and watch blu-ray movies on a 24″.
I will wait for either a larger size or I will just buy a regular screen.

Tuesday, June 7, 2011 at 1:00 PMLove the idea and the tech, but I would rather pay a bit more and get a 40 inch+ model. With 24 inches, it wouldn’t be much difference to play split screen on a 40 inch
