Is Little Big Planet Karting anything like Modnation Racers?

If I don't get in on Dishonored from Amazon, I'll pick it up at BB.

I don't own one, but I read that it has an extremely high failure rate after a very short period of time. If I owned one, I would definitely test it out for at least a few months to make sure it isn't one of those defective units. Apparently if you have a bad one, the only sure way to fix it is to send it in to Sony for repair (I believe you only have a one year manufacturer warranty). Otherwise, you may end up getting completely screwed.

Originally Posted by cagfansub Regarding the $99 Sony PS3 3D monitor..that's a good deal yes, but there are couple of things, people should know if they indeed to use it either as a TV or PC monitor besides PS3 gaming a) It DOES NOT have a TV Tuner - Inputs are: 2 HDMI or 1 Component input, 1 stereo and 1 head phone (ok for satellite or cablebox use but no ATSC cable or over-the-air tuner) b) It is GLOSSY or GLARING, (not Matte finish), so make sure you have a dark room otherwise you can see a lot reflection especially movies with dark scenes. c) No PC VGA (analog) or DVI input. So, PC must have HDMI or covert using DVI-HDMI or VGA-HDMI adapter or cable. Certain PC display adapter may not be able to display in clear 1920x1080 screen in crisp mode - it depends on your adapter.. the text could be fuzzy. d) 3D glass - this is active shutter, must be charged up.. pretty expensive to replace - so be careful with them. e) Yes, it is true 50/50 chance that they're defective (blank out, random shut off, color bleeding, etc after 1-2 weeks of normal use) - have to be replaced by Sony thru RMA. It's NO USE even with protection plan from Best Buy because they'll give another defective one to you out from the box. It won't fix the issue. Only the RMA ones will be fixed when you return it. f) No remote included, the buttons are difficult to reach (facing the back). You need to get the new PS3 bluetooth remote ($20-$25). h) The audio is ok.. but kinda of soft in some movies. Other than those above issues, I find the following nice things 1. It is a great monitor for PS3 gaming! 2. Beautiful 3D.. good for gaming and watching 3D movies 3. Great Simulview gaming (limited to some games) with a friend 4. Looks like a GIANT PSP box. Looks good in your room.

Not true. The universal remote provided by my cable company was able to be programmed to work on it just fine.

Skimmed the last few pages, didn't see this asked: Can you order these online for in store pickup on black friday? Or is that not allowed? Im not sitting in line but that xbox live card and a few games look pretty good. That TV doesn't sound too bad either. May use it to hook my old ps3 or 360 up to play some older games.

Anyone know if the sony tv has netflix or anything like that on it? And BTW.. im assuming the guy mentioning the problems with it is greatly exagerating about the 50% failure rate, right?

It's a monitor, not a TV.

I just traded in Gravity Rush to BB for a $20 gift card. Hoping I can snatch a copy of Dishonored! Might take Sleeping Dogs if Dishonored is all gone.

That doesn't mean anything. If it has wifi or ethernet hookup it could have a netflix app or something. Sounds like thats not the case though

I think I'll wait till the 3D display is 50 dollars.........

Is sleeping down worth $25?

It's a no frills 3d monitor. No built in apps software or anything.

Yes and so does sleeping dogs.

it does have HDMI right? Plan to hook up PS3/Xbox and Apple Tv to it

it's pretty fun. I definitely plan on picking it up again when it's sub 15$.

Are we still discussing about the Playstation 3D monitor?

+1 for sleeping dogs being worth $25 if you want to play it now. I actually rented it and really liked it. I had very low expectations and was very pleasantly surprised. One of those rare games thats a lot better than you think it will be. Since i wound up beating it when i rented it, im personally waiting for a <$20 price to own it

Sony 3d tv seems ok for the $100, but i am concerned about the failure rate. I couldn't care less about 3d, but a gaming monitor sounds good

The playstion 3d display has a 240 hz panel and has motionflow 240 on at all times. A lot of high end SONY tech crammed in this thing is why it was $500 this time last year. The picture quality is EXCELLENT. Don't believe me. Get one for yourself and see. Great deal I'm in for one more.

Customer service is closed on Black Friday. They reopen for the weekend.

I think all online orders are for shipping only. I think the in-store pickup option is disabled during BF weekend.
