Sony is giving us so many new toys this year. After the official announcement of Playstation Vita, they’re now giving us this new 3D display specifically designed for the PS3. It features a 24” full HD display that adopts the quad-speed frame sequential display technology that is able to minimize crosstalk distortion giving us realistic 3D experiences. Best of all is the price. At $499 (including the 3D glasses) plus the Resistance 3 game, this package is a win win for me. Will definitely get one of these once its out. For a superior gaming experience, I also recommend getting a home theater systems.
