I like how he avoided the question about cheaper 3D glasses by saying $499 bundle. How about just the 3D glasses for movie watching with more people?

EA has a lot of work to do to for an NBA game now :laugh:

He said $60 (or $69?). Not really a great deal for the bundle, but the co-op idea is the only incentive I know of for a 3D TV.

Ok i missed that. Not a good price to me but its a start I guess.

Infamous 2 looks good. I played the demo then got the first game. There is a big jump in the visuals from 1 to 2, I think someone here called it the Uncharted 2 jump in the graphics and I agree.

Yep he said $69

And actually the bundle is a pretty decent deal. An Asus 23" 3D Monitor is $499 alone on Newegg right now, so as long as the specs are similar or better on this Sony one, including the glasses and a game seems like a fairly decent deal to me.

I am almost positive it is what I will be asking for for Christmas (have my wife pitch in with my parents). I have wanted a 3D TV for awhile, but she is not going to go for a full fledged one, so it is a good in-between for me.

Also I see no reason why I could not use this monitor on my PC as well with my Nvidia cards, may just need other glasses, but the way I see it is HDMI is HDMI, unless they put some kind of stupid proprietary connection.

Going from Uncharted and Resistance to the Kobe fail and this stuff wasn't very smart.

Yeah, not the best pacing at all. :laugh:

It should work fine.

Dust and EVE online combined?? what? :woot:

Yeah not my thing but just based on the popularity of Eve (which I had no idea how big it was until I read an article in PC Gamer magazine this past month), should be pretty popular.

I honestly did not realize Bioshock Infinite had such stylized visuals until this trailer. The characters have an almost anime look to them which definitely deviates from the first game.

Ok, I thought Sony would trounce Microsoft, but it's been all downhill since Uncharted 3. Whichever console you prefer you'll probably think did better based on this conference so far.

Absolutely not.

I own both consoles, prefer neither, and this conference has already trumped MS's from a gamers standpoint. No question about it. Even with Move, which I am not a huge fan of at all, the games are at least more or less aimed towards core gamers.

And now they are introducing a whole new gaming device?

Yeah, no way the MS conference is even comparable to this one, again, from a gaming stand point.

Don't even remotely agree with you, but to each his own.

I think so far the Sony conference edges out the MS one. They are pushing move but they are not ramming it down one's throat unlike what MS were doing with Kinect and for that I am quite happy. Theres a decent balance with Sony's conference but the MS was on dominated by Kinect.

Hmm I was hoping Resistance 3 would up the ante but after watching the gameplay video, still not feeling it. I pushed my way through the second game because I was sure it had to be better than the first, and I'm starting to have the same feelings about the third. Almost wish it would just go away at this point along with the Move.

Interested to see the Bioshock for NGP but sadly it looks like it will be a long time before that happens. At least the launch lineup "should" be better than that of the PSP.

      Never used the G7 Pro, but I've never had a good experience with that style of d-pad and fighting games.

      And I just bought a seat cushion for my mesh chair. The chair feels nice but the first time I sat in it with boxers, I realized I don't like the feel of mesh on my legs. 😂

      This Dell 27 inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor is really cheap after a very long time by Sayan Sen Recently we covered a really good deal on an AMD RX 9070 three-fan model that's available at slightly above its MSRP. If you are looking for a GPU for 1440p gaming that's around the performance of the Nvidia RTX 5070 you should most definitely check it out. Let's say that you are looking for a monitor to pair that up with too. The Samsung 49" G9 curved QD-OLED superultrawide is a good option that can provide an immersive experience. However despite being a very good deal currently (at $855), it may seem unaffordable to you, or you may simply not want to spend as much on a monitor. In that case Dell's S2725QS can be a very good option as it's on sale at the moment for its lowest price in over six months (purchase link under the specs table down below). The big highlight of the Dell S2725QS is its 27-inch IPS panel with a 3840 x 2160 (4K UHD) resolution, offering a high pixel density that can make text appear sharper while also providing plenty of screen space for productivity and media consumption. The display supports a refresh rate of up to 120Hz through both HDMI and DisplayPort, making it suitable not only for everyday desktop use but also for smoother gaming and scrolling. AMD FreeSync Premium support is included as well, helping reduce screen tearing during gaming sessions. The screen has fairly good brightness and color accuracy so you can use it for general work purpose, though photo/video editing is probably not going to be the best match for this. The technical specs of the Dell S2725QS are given in the table below: Specification Value Viewable Screen Size 27 in (68.58 cm) Screen Mode 4K UHD Maximum Resolution 3840 × 2160 Maximum Preset Resolution 3840 × 2160 @ 120 Hz Standard Refresh Rate 120 Hz Panel Technology In-plane Switching (IPS) Backlight Technology LED Edgelight System Pixel Density 163 PPI Response Time 8 ms GTG, 5 ms GTG, 4 ms GTG Horizontal Viewing Angle 178° Vertical Viewing Angle 178° Brightness 350 cd/m² (nits) Native Contrast Ratio 1500:1 Color Support 1.07 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% sRGB (CIE 1931) Adaptive Sync AMD FreeSync Premium HDCP Support Yes Mount Type Panel Mount VESA Mount 100 × 100 mm Maximum Height Adjustment 13 cm Tilt -5° to 21° Swivel -30° to 30° Pivot ±90° Stand Adjustments Tilt, Swivel, Height, Pivot Glass Hardness 3H Horizontal Frequency 27–270 kHz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Vertical Frequency 48–120 Hz (DisplayPort 1.4 / HDMI 2.1) Video Inputs 2 × HDMI 2.1 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3), 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 (HDCP 1.4 & 2.3) Operating Temperature 0°C to 40°C Storage Temperature -20°C to 60°C Operating Humidity 10%–80% (Non-condensing) Storage Humidity 5%–95% (Non-condensing) Get it at the link below: Dell S2725QS 27-inch 4K 120Hz IPS monitor: $218.49 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $280) Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S. specific, and not available in other regions unless specified.
