Sony's 3-D TVs are compatible with PlayStation Sony Corp. said Tuesday it will start selling 3-D televisions in four sizes by June. It plans to release a firmware update to its PlayStation 3 console this summer, making three-dimensional gaming a reality.

The 40-inch and 46-inch versions will go on sale on June 10 in Japan, while the 52- and 60-inch TVs will be available starting July 16.

The 40-inch 3-D will cost about $3,200 and the biggest 60-inch will retail at $6,400.

Included are two pairs of Sony's 3-D glasses, as well as a camera sensor on each unit that will adjust sound and picture quality based on viewers' positions.

Interest in 3-D has accelerated recently with the help of three-dimensional blockbusters such as "Avatar" and "Alice in Wonderland," which earned a record $116.3 million in its opening weekend.

Samsung, the world's best-selling TV maker, began selling 3-D units in South Korea last month. Panasonic Corp. is partnering with Best Buy Co. to fuel sales of its own 3D TVs, which launch in the U.S. on Wednesday.

To stand out, Sony plans to exploit its strengths in entertainment, gaming and other products to offer customers a broad selection of 3-D content.

That is cool but I have two questions for "the company who came up with this bright idea". How many glasses come with the t.v. I mean what a bout the people with the big families who have more than one person living an what if they have visitors who come over.And do the people always have to ware the glasses to watch the t.v.

I think it is a good idea but how many glasses are going to come with the t.v and are you always going to have to ware those glasses all the time.

I am so impressed that there is now a 3-d TV that links up with any kind of game station- it is so mind blowingly awesome. I am so going to get one as soon as I can.
