PlayStation 3DTV gets Resistance 3 again (as pre-order bonus)
by Andrew Yoon, Aug 29, 2011 6:00pm PDTOne of the stranger announcements at Sony's E3 press conference this year was its plan to develop a PlayStation-branded 3DTV that features an exclusive "SimulView" mode that enables two players to play full-screen multiplayer games together. The 24" screen retails for $500, making it an affordable entry point into 3D.
Oddly, Sony replaced the originally bundled game--Resistance 3--with the less buzz-worthy MotorStorm Apocalypse. Today, the company has announced that it will be including Resistance 3, in addition to MotorStorm, for all pre-orders.
The $500 bundle includes the 24" 3D display, one pair of 3D glasses, an HDMI cable, MotorStorm Apocalypse, and Resistance 3, only if you pre-order before September 30th. It's certainly a better than deal than before, but one can't help feel the package is incomplete without a second pair of glasses. The TV's much-touted "SimulView" mode won't work without purchasing another pair glasses, which usually retails for about $100.
Still, at $500, the PlayStation 3DTV remains one of the lowest price ways of getting into 3D entertainment. Watch this promotional video, which confirms that the TV can also be used as a computer monitor. Perhaps you'll be able to connect Nvidia 3D Vision graphics card to this baby?

The best part is the 3D is perfect, Sony has some real nice quality control and there is no artifacts so far on the games I have tried.
I really have to applaud Sony for the 3D movement they really do not get enough credit for this, its its very well done and my passive glasses need no extra settings it just works.
