Can I play 360 games with 3d support using this?

Yes.

just bought this yesterday at best buy for 250 in the hope in would drop further in the next month. verrrrrry nice; but I wonder how hard it will be to pm...the website only has the extra glasses and game bundle...

I am going to pass since I am saving up for an 80" LCD (lol).

Perfect, just the price I was waiting for. I also happen to have a ton of Gamestop credit, so no tax either. Although maybe I should have it price matched at Best Buy so that I can get an extended warranty on it, since it sounds like these things aren't so reliable. On that note, would anyone happen to know how much a 2/4 year replacement plan for a $200 display is at Best Buy?

I'd have to guess $40 for two years or around 75 for four years. I'll attempt to check when I work tomorrow.

LAstly, here is a lengthy thread from the playstation forums about problems with the display. http://community.us.playstation.com/...art=0&tstart=0

Wow, that sucks. Thanks for the info. I'm in need of a new TV for the work out room, a new monitor for the new PC build with an nvidia gpu, and I don't care for poor quality...so this thing is pretty much my enemy.

I wonder if this will be the bundle listed on GS.com. If it is, it's gonna be really hard not to pick this up.

I use this as a second display for my MacBook Pro 2011 model with the mini-display port to hdmi adapter and it works like a dream!!! no handshake issues, no problems whatsoever. I love this display and am going to buy a second one at 199.99. I highly recommend it

I can confirm this. I got one for $200 from the Sony store with a coupon offer they had a month ago or so. The first thing we did was hook up the 360 to it because my son wanted to try Halo Anniverary in 3D.

Since then it has been used as a second gaming screeen in our game room so that the boys can play at the same time (one on the 360, one on the PS3). We've put it to heavy use in a month and no problems so far. It is a beautiful screen, though to be honest we haven't used the 3D since the first day .

But at $200 and with Motorstorm Apocalypse bundled it wasn't a bad deal. Still, wish I had known about this as I'd rather have waited and used my GS credit instead of my credit card.

I'm down to get one if they have a Extended Warranty available with it too.

Keep in mind there's no tuner, so if you want to use this as an actual TV you're out of luck.

I'd probably pick one up if it fit in my bookshelf that I play games on. From what I saw of the Best Buy display, it looked really nice, even without the 3D activated.

Kind of tempting, if true. FWIW, Amazon has it for $220 right now, but that doesn't include free shipping, and it doesn't include the extra pair of glasses and free game that the Gamestop bundle may include.

And it's sold by WorldWide Distributors, not Amazon.

You guys realize that you can plug a cable box into this thing via USB, right?

you can plug a cable box into it via hdmi or component as well. its just lacking a tuner for over-the-air signals

I may or may not get this. This all depends on whether or not the Sony visor coming out near the end of the year is 1080p, OLED and 3D. If it's 720p and not OLED I will probably not buy it.
I have been meaning to get some sort of 3D display ever since the Ayumi Hamasaki 3D concert came out on Blu-ray.

Can this work as a computer monitor if I use a DVI to HDMI adapter? This would be perfect for a monitor.

Don't see why not.

I'm one of the people who was waiting for the $200 price point but all the problems I've read with this thing mean I'll pass. i don't care about 3D that much to roll the dice and hope I get a display that lasts longer than the warranty.
