Sony Announces 24-inch 3D Display For Playstation 3 – End of Split Screen Gaming?

Sony today announced that it will release a 24-inch 3D Display available this fall. For North America, the 3D Display comes bundled with 3D Glasses, an HDMI cable and the highly anticipated Resistance 3 title from Insomniac Games for PlayStation3 (PS3) at an attractive recommended retail price (RRP) of US$499.99. 3D Glasses included in the 3D Display bundle will also be sold separately, concurrently with the 3D Display , at RRP of US$69.99 in USA. Through the introduction of this new product, PS3 users will have easy access to all of their 3D entertainment by simply connecting PS3 to the 3D Display. The best part of this news is that gamers no longer have to play multiplayer split-screen games as they can now game in full screen mode thanks to having two 60Hz images. One YouTube member took a pair of 3D movie glasses and placed the left lens in one pair of glasses and the right lenses in the other set. By doing this each wearer sees only his character in full screen and can’t see his opponents screen at all. This is a ‘free’ solution for those that already have a 3D monitor or HDTV and some 3D movie glasses laying around. Very cool stuff coming out of E3 this year!
