Sony Bravia 3D TVs & 3D PS3 Games

Senior Sony Computer Entertainment Europe development manager and 3D chief Simon Benson apparently told GI.biz “It’s certainly not a concern for us on the gaming side, the major reason being it’s not like when we’re adding 3D features to a game, it’s not a significant overhead for us. It’s not like we have to justify being able to sell millions more games because of it, it’s just another feature of the game.”

“The developers that we’ve worked with adding 3D features to the games, it’s typically been done through passion of the development teams and interest of the designers to deliver new experiences. It’s not often about the financial side of things. Because it isn’t a huge overhead. It’s not like in 3D live production (TV and movies) where someone has got to make the decision about hiring cameras that cost twice as much and doing post processing that costs ten times more and it’s a significant overhead, there you really have to look at the numbers.”

“What we’re talking about here is, in some cases we’ve had titles where 3D has been half a per cent of overhead. It can literally be the render programmer spending a couple of weeks manipulating it. Particularly if a game already has split screen in it, just take that mode of the game and re-author it to deliver really high quality 3D. So often it’s the case of it doesn’t even hit the radar of whether we should or shouldn’t, it can just be done.”

Fine the Sky Movies HD TV advert isn’t amazing and really just shows a 1980′s montage of the best parts of each movie, played over emotional music, with a man talking over the images with a cool voice, but it does make you want to get Sky Movies! Still not sure loyal customers are too pleased they can’t take advantage of the deal mentioned above.

The first of these TV deals at Tesco is the Sony KDL32 CX523 32 inch Widescreen Full HD 1080p LCD TV with  Internet TV & Freeview HD. A full HD TV with a pretty good review score on Reevoo of 8.3 from 20 reviews for a reasonably cheap price of £399.99.

The second offer is for another, more expensive, 32 inch Sony television. The Sony KDL32 EX523 32 inch Widescreen  Full HD 1080p LED TV with Freeview HD. Again another very good review score of 8.8 on Reevoo and in the Tesco sale for £549.00.

32 inch televisions were the most popular size not that long ago, but now customers want the biggest tele they can afford and the 32″ set has fallen out of favour. However these two Sony LCD screens shouldn’t be ignored as there Bravia series is always high quality. We especially like that they both come with built in Freeview HD too. Anyway we’ll bring you the best Tesco TV deals when we hear about them very soon.

Apple HD Televisions

If the rumours are true then we’d expect these Apple HD TVs to come with Applt TV built in. Some funky design features and easy usability, but with that premium price point that all Apple products seem to have. Although we doubt it’ll be up there at the super expensive Bang and Olufsen prices.

Anyway I’m sure if they are going to release the 3 Apple HD televisions in 2012 we’ll have some announcements to much needless fanfare later this year.

BBC HD TV

You can let us know your BBC HD review by using the comments box at the bottom of this entry. What we would like to see is HD TV being pushed to being forwards so it becomes standard definition and not just for those with deep pockets that can afford to pay for Skys HDTV service (you can review the Sky HD package too if you wish). The technology is here, the television sets are in our homes so it’s now time for the TV industry to move things forwards.

Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray DVD Player

In-fact I can’t think of any other Blu-Ray DVD player that can match if for looks? A number of shops and online retailers have also been having some special deals on the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray DVD player making it significantly cheaper than when it was originally released. There’s actually a lot of good Blu-Ray DVD player deals around at the moment and they will likely be one of this Christmas’s biggest sellers.

The reviews for the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray DVD disc player have also been very good from what I’ve found around the internet. Here’s some user reviews from around the net.

Play.com 5 out of 5 Stars from 4 Reviewers one of which said:

“This is a brilliant machine – I bought this and the new LED samsung. Both hung on my wall and looks stunning. The quality of the blu ray is exceptional, miles better than the ps3 which i have as well. I cannot say a bad word about it and when connected to my sound system it is amazing!! The DVD playback is upscaled but I am not a fan of any upscaled DVDs and most of mine are now redundant as I wont watch them. It is good, but once you made the ‘switch’ it never looks as good.”

On Amazon the users there have given the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray DVD player on average 4 out of 5 stars from 18 customer reviews, the best of which I think is:

“I swore that after some bad experiences with Samsung DVD/BD players I would never buy another one, however, whilst perusing the net for one my eyes were hooked by this sweet looking product. When I saw that it was Samsung I hesitated only slightly before my penchant for the aesthetic won the day! If you have a Samsung LCD or LED then this is a must buy for you – instant recognition when you turn the player on – can use either remote for TV/DVD – and it completes the look and makes an unbeatable eye-catching focus for any lounge.”

Now on to the industry reviews for the Samsung BD-P4600 Blu-Ray DVD player starting with trustedreviews which don’t give a review score but a verdict part of which says:

“With the BD-P4600, Samsung has created the most distinctive-looking Blu-ray player to date, with a gorgeous wall-mountable design that will please those who like their players to look as good as the pictures they provide. There’s much to admire on the inside too, such as WiFi support and built-in memory, which makes it easier than ever to experience Blu-ray’s interactive extras, while the swift disc loading times and wide-ranging format support are added bonuses (although video-on-demand would have been the icing on the cake).”

Cnet UK has another pretty in-depth review of the Samsung BD-p4600 Blu-Ray player but it is worth remembering they reviewed it when it was £100 more expensive than it is now. They gave it a review score of 8.7 and said:

“Ultimately, the Samsung BD-P4600 may be sunk by its price. Sony and Panasonic both have excellent models on the market that cost less and have a more traditional form factor. But that’s not to say the BD-P4600 isn’t a great player, because it is. We love the speed with which it operates, and we also like the picture and sound quality. Overall, it’s a good package and certainly a great choice for Samsung TV owners who have their set mounted on a wall”

Techradar also have a good review of this Bluray DVD player again giving it a good score of 4 out of 5 stars (review scores seem pretty consistent). Part of the summary says:

“For its few faults, this is a neat piece of BD technology from Samsung. It looks like the kind of lifestyle proposition non-techies might go for, and presents an interesting solution for anyone with a wall-mounted flatscreen, particularly if you go for the wireless dongle option.”
