Sony is to release its first Sony Bravia 3D TV in the UK this June and, alongside it, four 3D games which will be made available for free to initial adopters of the Bravia HX803.
The TV will feature full 1080p high definition, 200Hz high frame rate technology and a 'simulated 3D' option, which converts a 2D picture into a simulated 3D one. It will also come with 'high speed precision' technology Sony says minimises crosstalk - the mixing the 3D images assigned to the left and right eyes.
It will require users to wear 3D glassses, equipped with shutter technology, which come in a range of colours and in adult and child sizes. Battery life for the specs is estimated to be around 100 hours.
The HX803 will be the first model released, but Sony said that it would be followed by additional models within weeks, including the LX903.
It also confirmed it has timed the launch of four games to coincide with the release of the HX803 - all games that are being re-released through the PlayStation Network with 3D optimisation.
The games will be Wipeout HD, Motorstorm: Pacific Rift, PAIN and Super Stardust HD, which will be made available to early adopters - either in full or, in the case of MotorStorm, as a single level demo - as part of the HX803 package.
PS3 owners will be able to upgrade their PS3s to made them 3D game-compatible with a firmware upgrade that will be released prior to the TVs, said Sony. While a further firmware update to make the PS3 3D movie compatible will follow at some point this year.
Sony has previously said that 3D is a "no brainer" for the company and it has committed to creating the first dedicated 24/7 3D television network in partnership with Discovery Communications and IMAX.
The company will also film 25 of this year's World Cup matches in 3D, in conjunction with FIFA, and an official 3D World Cup film which will be released on Blu-ray 3D at some point in 2010.
The new TV is available to pre-order through Sony's stores now. The only prices currently available are guide ones, which put the TV at £2200 for the 40" model and £3500 for the 60".

Sony Europe's PlayTV peripheral for the PlayStation 3 is to see the addition of new social network features, including Facebook.
In a brief post made by PlayStation Network product manager James Thorpe on the official PlayStation blog it was indicated that Sony's Cambridge studios have already begun testing some of the new features.
The public update is due "later this year", with Thorpe promising "links to the world's most popular social network site, Facebook" and "other great enhancements to PlayTV and brand new features".
Sony may be attempting to emulate some of the social features present in the Xbox 360 support for Sky digital services, which allow users to watch video content communally and chat via Xbox Live.
The PlayTV hardware add-on is only available in Europe and other regions that use the same television technology. The peripheral acts as a digital television receiver and digital video recorder, with UK sales put at 85,000 units by September 2008.
An equivalent peripheral named torne was revealed for Japan earlier in the year, but despite using similar television technology no release has yet been announced for North America.

Janco Partners analyst Mike Hickey has been telling investors good things about the 'new' EA.
Encouraged by the publisher's current franchise portfolio, Hickey said EA has a number of "mega franchises" on its hands and potentially a "Modern Warfare killer" in the form of Battlefield.
"The company has been plagued over the last several years by franchise fatigue and new IP market fragility; examples include: Madden, NFS, Mirrors Edge, Army of Two, Spore, etc., which we believe they have stabilised and / or eliminated from their forward game slate," he wrote in an investor note.
"In addition, we're encouraged by the strong sales performance from emerging mega franchises like Mass Effect, Dragon Age and Battlefield (we believe a potential Modern Warfare killer).
"Finally," he added, "we remain optimistic for potential upside from games like Medal of Honor (a prior power franchise), Bulletstorm, Dead Space 2 and the unannounced new IP (potential fiscal '12 release) from the newly formed Respawn Entertainment studio through EA Partners."
You have to agree with the man to a point - EA's got a shedload of tasty titles on the market and in the works.

Having announced in September last year that it was developing a portable version of PS3 Home for PSP users, Sony has now confirmed that it has scrapped the project.
Dubbed PlayStation Room, the service was supposed to offer a virtual world that allowed for portable interaction on the go, sharing pictures and blog posts and creating avatars.
It was scheduled to arrive by the end of 2009.
However, Andriasang spotted an update to Room’s official site stating that all development of the service has been cancelled, bringing the closed beta to an end. No reason was given, though Sony added that it would be using the feedback gained from the beta for future projects.
The natural question to ask is whether its demise is linked to the performance of PSP or the performance of PlayStation Home?

I finally finished the app! (yay) Anybody want to try out the BETA? Leave your feedback below in the comments.
How to use it
1. Plug in your PSP and enable USB connection.
2. You need to select what disk your PSP is. Open the application called "Disk Utility" which is located in Applications >> Utilities >> Disk Utility. Locate your PSP's disk, right-click it and select Information. Now look at the Disk Identifier. It should be disk# where # is a number 1 through 10. (If you see disk1s1 or similar, look at the disk1 part. Ignore the s1 part.) Now select this in the Magic Memory Stick application.
3. Choose which button you want the DC8 menu to be launched with. You can choose the L and R triggers or have it be launched automatically by selecting "NOTHING".
4. (Option isn't available in the BETA version) Choose whether you want the GEN-D2 installer to be in your Games folder.
5. Before clicking "Make the Magic Memory Stick" button, you need to click on the "Click Me First!" button. This will unmount the PSP so the application can inject the IPL.
6. Click the button "Create the Magic Memory Stick" to create it!

Sony says that it has no intention of reimbursing retailers if they offer fat PS3 users partial refunds because of the removal of the Install Other OS function.
Last week, the first PS3 user successfully secured a partial refund from Amazon UK as compensation for the removal of the ability to run Linux on the console.
The punter quoted European law in order to persuade the online retailer that the goods he had bought in good faith were no longer fit for purpose because of the enforcement of firmware update 3.21, which meant that users who chose to keep the Other OS functionality would lose the ability to play the latest games or connect to the PlayStation Network.
Sony was accused of contravening the Sale of Goods Act and more than one forum poster across the web suggested that a class action suit might be in order.
But Sony is standing fast, insisting it has done nothing wrong as the company's PR head honcho David Wilson told us. "We do understand the frustration a small number of consumers may feel at SCE's decision to provide an upgrade to the firmware to disable the Linux operating system but we refute any suggestion that this action is in any way a contravention of the terms of Sale of Goods Act," he said.
The fact that the ability to install Linux was heavily promoted when the console was launched by Sony Computer Entertainment (the word 'computer' is important here) seems to hold little sway for the company or its spokesman.
"The PS3 is first and foremost a games console and our marketing materials for the console reflect this," said Wilson. "The console packaging and the in-box manual for the console do not refer to the use of Linux on the console. Rather, the console packaging states that the product's design and specifications are subject to change without notice and that the system software within the console is subject to a limited licence between SCE and the consumer, and this licence permits SCE to update the system software and services offered from time to time."
The fact of the matter is that no end of complex Terms and Conditions, or even the most draconian End User License Agreements (EULA) have the power to override the law of the land, and Sony is fully aware of this. The company knows that it is protected by those same laws.
"The provision in the Sale of Goods Act which requires an item to be fit for a purpose made known by the consumer to the retailer prior to purchase and confirmed by the retailer applies only to the contract between the retailer and the consumer," Sony told us. "The decision by Amazon to give a consumer a partial refund is clearly between Amazon and the consumer, but we do not expect the decision to have a legal basis and we have no plans to compensate retailers."
So it looks like fat PS3 owners have three choices:
1. Continue using Linux but give up the ability to download games from the PlayStation store, play disk-based PS3 games which require version 3.21 or higher, play Blu-Ray Disks which require profile updates or download movie.
2. Give up Linux altogether and use the PS3 the way Sony now wants you to use it.
3. Get an £84 refund from your retailer and put the money towards an XBox.
There is, of course, a fourth way. You could wait for the hackers who caused these shenanigans in the first place to release a fiddled firmware update which would allow you to do all of the above.

You may recognize Milestone for their shooting games like Ilvelo and Ultimate Shooting Collection. Did you know they make arcade fighting games too?
No, you say? Then take a look at Project Cerberus. It’s a Naomi based arcade game with transforming heroes (think Super Sentai) that’s coming to PSP.
Milestone opened a teaser site for Project Cerberus, which notes the home version has a story mode.
Project Cerberus isn’t Milestone’s only fighting game. They also have Twinkle Queen for Wii, which features girls from various eroge series.

via Computer and Video Games
A video game adaptation of comic book movie Kick-Ass will hit PSN on April 29th - and is fully playable on PS3.
Developed and published by WHA Entertainment, the title will cost $14.99 in the US - so you can expect it for around £8.
It's been rated M for Mature by the ESRB.
The title is a third-person 3D action fighting game, where the player can play and control modern day super heroes based on the super characters found in the film of the same name.
Gamers will be able to play as the three primary characters in the movie - Kick-Ass, Hit Girl, and Big Daddy.
Kick-Ass follows the story of the movie, and features multiple environments within New York City.
There's 12 story missions, plus two bonus rounds. And the publisher promises 'plenty of gore'. Joy.
Multiplayer local co-op gameplay is also available - but not online, it appears.
Bonus points also unlock the complete first edition of the Kick Ass comic book.
"We are excited to provide players a closer look at the gameplay and characters involved in Kick-Ass," said Howard Horowitz, Founder and CEO of WHA Entertainment.
"Kick-Ass is set to deliver non-stop superhero action to gamers, and what could be more fun than getting to play as one of the three super heroes based on the super characters featured in the movie?"

Gameshastra has teamed up with Future Publishing to give away free copies of its PSP Mini title, D-Cube Planet. The action-puzzler, usually worth £2.49, will be available to consumers through the second episode of Future’s innovative on-console games show FirstPlay, which goes live on PSN tomorrow.
“We’re delighted to partner with FirstPlay to offer its users a special free gift,” said Gameshastra CEO Prakash Ahjua. “D-Cube Planet has been a tremendous hit with consumers since its launch late last year, and we’re hopeful that many more people will fall for its charms with this fantastic promotion.”
FirstPlay editor-in-chief Tim Clark added: “Each week, our focus is to show gamers the most exciting things on PlayStation systems, and thanks to Gameshastra, we can throw open the world of PSP Minis to gamers who haven’t experience a game like D-Cube Planet themselves.
“The response to our launch episode has been great, and we’re actively listening to gamers, through direct feedback from their PS3 and our social media channels. FirstPlay will continue to evolve, and early adopters can help us shape the future of Europe’s only on-console interactive show.”

Since Samurai Shodown Sen is in stores, what is Xseed working on now? Apparently, something for PSP.
“We’re going to give you a lot more reasons to own a PSP soon, why not just give in to the temptation now,” an Xseed employee posted on Facebook in response to a Lunar: Silver Star Harmony inquiry.
“A lot more” sounds like more than one PSP game. Hmm… wonder what these PSP projects could be.

Dengeki magazine publisher ASCII Media Works have announced a new Durarara!! adventure game for PSP via Dengeki’s game sites, titled Durarara!! 3way Standoff. No real details are available on the net just yet, except that the game will feature most of the original voice cast and will release in Summer 2010.
The latest issue of Dengeki Bunko, however, contains more information with screenshots, which super-tipper Anton sounded us off about from his ongoing trip to Japan. Durarara!! 3way Standoff is being developed by NetchuBiyori, who are also working on a Wii game, and a Spice & Wolf game for DS.
In the past, Dengeki have published other visual novel adventure games based on anime series under their DS Dengeki Bunko ADV — among others — brand. Baccano!, by the same author as Durarara!!, is one of them.
