In 2010, Sony will be launching a new firmware update for the PlayStation 3 that will bring 3D to ALL PlayStation 3 games. Although they say all, there might be a few games that just don’t work well with 3D, but on the whole all should be compatible.

The system works by sending out a HDMI signal to a 3D TV that runs at 200Hz. Each frame displayed on the screen alternates between the left and right eye giving a 100Hz per eye 3D image. For a test an Engadget editor tried out Wipeout HD and said it looked amazing. Video of the game after the jump although you wont actually see it in 3D as you need to be there wearing the special glasses. [Read more…]

Sony have announced that the PSP-3000 system will be made available in a special Gran Turismo pack. Gran Turismo PSP is launching on October 1st after what seems like a several year delay. It’s actually great to see it being released.

It’s going to be a big game and well worth looking out for when it launches next month. [Read more…]

The new Sony PRS-600 eBook reader has been reviewed by Mobile Tech Review. They found that the screen had more contrast than the previous PRS-505 model but lacked a bit of clarity and had a bit more glare than the previous model.

Good points were that the note taking and dictionary features were excellent with the notes being synced to your desktop versions of the books. A video review can be found after the jump. [Read more…]

The single largest roadblock that prevents most people from picking up a PlayStation 3 is the price. Sony’s just taken that roadblock and shrunk it. You’re now $100 more likely to buy a PlayStation 3.

After months of rumours, Sony have now (well, yesterday) officially announced that there is a new slim PS3 being launched. The slim PlayStation 3 is about 2/3rds the size of the original and thanks to new components within, the unit uses just 1/3rd of the power that the original PS3 did. This results in a rather sleek looking games console and thanks to the power reduction, a quieter one too.

The power consumption has been cut down thanks to a 45nm Cell Processor that runs at the same speed as the old one. Also a new feature is built in called BRAVIA Sync which allows you to use the TV remote control to control the PS3. [Read more…]

The Sony PSP Go is Sony’s latest handheld to the market. It’s basically a new PSP but for some reason, seems to lack the hardware to make you go wow. Anyway, to cheer things up a little it appears that Sony will be pricing games on the PSN (PlayStation Network) starting at just ‚¬1 with a jump to ‚¬2 and finally ‚¬5 each.

This move brings the pricing in to the Apple App store price range and interestingly enough, Sony have been actively trying to get iPhone developers moving their games over to the PSP Go platform. [Read more…]
