The Sony 3D bundle comes with an HDMI 1.4 cable which is needed for 3D signal. Once you connect this TV to your PS3 and play a 3D movie it will recognize the 3D signal and will prompt you for a firmware update. If not you go to the PS3's settings and choose automatic update from there. Of course, your PS3 must be connected to the internet to do this whether wired or wirelessly.

After looking at the sears 3d accessory bundle (normally $399, just making sure I was looking at the right thing) it looks like the only thing included in there are the transmitter, 2 pairs of glasses, and a DVD. So yes, you will need a 3D player of some sort. On the bright side though your PS3 will work. YOu just have to update the firmware if you haven't in a while.

I am having connectivity issues with my new Sony TV. I am using a wireless connection to my router. I set the connection up, and all works fine. After I turn the TV off, and come back, I have to repeat this process. The TV will see the router, it is connected, but says no internet. Any ideas? Software bug?

Thanks Ryan. Do you have any idea when & where the upgrade for the PS3 is/ or gonna be?

I've been told it does not work with 3D. I'm presuming the reason Sony is dropping the price now is that a new version is coming out that fixes the gracenote problems (hard to deal with discs that are not on gracenote) AND the next version will be 3D capable. This is strictly a guess, but every other Sony Bluray player is now 3D capable except this one. And since all the 3D movies aren't coming out unitl later this fall... I should just go and put in a 3D movie and see though. Sony's support on this player does seem to be a bit weak.

3d blu ray is supposed to show up sometime around the end of 2010. its disappointing because i just bought this TV expecting to buy a ps3 so i could watch 3d blu ray, but i'm second guessing buying the ps3 just so i can watch 3d movies since spending 650 on a playstation for the console and blu ray player seems like a huge waste of money.

Nope. You have to buy them online. Look on ebay. I had to buy about three of them. Each was about $5. Just has to be high speed 1.4 hdmi, gold plated, ethernet capable, and 3d capable in the description. I had to buy one to go from the samsung 3d blu-ray player to my audio receiver (3d capable), one from the receiver to the tv, and one for my ps3. I know the ps3 is capable to play 3d, but this player was included for free as well as the samsung starter kit (glasses and monsters vs aliens) with my 3d samsung 46c8000. You only really need one cable, but I wanted high definition sound as well as my audio receiver switching the video and audio for all my equipment.

I just paid $34.96 for my first 3D movie, Tron 3D. My BDP-BX57 gives me the message that it cannot play 3D movies with this player. Why did I buy this 3D player again, not to mention the glasses, the DVD, and the 3D compatible TV? Sony's web site indicated that a "future" firmware update will enable 3D DVD playback. WHEN is this going to occur? And does SONY believe I would have purchased this player if I knew the product was not a functional 3D player, despite it's labeling? So I guess now I have to wait months for the product to be corrected, or spend more money hoping the next product won't be fraudulently marketed.Sony BDP-BX57 Blu-ray Disc Player, 3D-ready with built-in WI-FI

all players come with remote control's and manuels, if they are brand new, if you buy used like on ebay it's a 50/50 chance on both, rebuilt is also a 50/50 chance on remotes and manuels. in my opinon get a sony blue ray bdp-2185/bx18 I have had no trouble with it. I told myself I would never get one, when it dropped down in price at walmart or amazon I couldn't refuse the price. but you have watch, there are normal blue rays and 3d blue rays. it's a decision you have to make shop around, but make sure on any dvd player or dvd burner it plays dvd-r and dvd +r and dvd-rw and dvd +rw and dvd +dl and dvd-dl and same way with blue rays. all players come with remote control's and manuels, if they are brand new, if you buy used like on ebay it's a 50/50 chance on both, rebuilt is also a 50/50 chance on remotes and manuels. in my opinon get a sony blue ray bdp-2185/bx18 I have had no trouble with it.

It is 3D capable. If you have a 3D capable blu-ray player and if you can actually find (they are rare) 3D blu-ray movies or special events OR if your cable, dish, or whatever provider you use offers a program in 3D then you will be able to watch it in 3D IF you also purchase 3D glasses. Otherwise you will never know the difference and the likelyhood of ever using it is practically nil. Technology is working on improving 3D for home use in TV's to be viewed without glasses but they say it is still a few years away. This tv being 3D should not influence your decision to buy unless you have a special need for 3D (rare).

This site still lists the HL67A750 availoable if anyone is nterested. I agree that this TV has a magnificent picture.And you can get what you need for 3D relatively inexpensive> (see my last post)http://www.electrozone.com/product.aspx?pf_id=HL67A750

I am in your exact same boat. From what I have read the XBR6 has a better processor at 10bit rather than 8but. I can't explain the lingo people said but they said it makes some difference. The data link thing is garbage. I have a feeling Sony realized they were not moving a lot of these units and started packaging them at places like Sam's and Costco where they only sell 4-5 52 inch TV's and people would think hey are getting a bonus with the Sony. I am leaning towards the XBR6 becuase the & is about to be released and it shoudl drive down the 6's price. I saw it last week on Amazon for 2250. I hope in January when I make my move it is even less. What is keeping me thinking about the Costco one is the three year free warranty with use of an AMEX card. Paying tax is annoying but peace of mind is priceless. okay I looked up for you what I read about 10 but vs 8 bit The KDL-52W140 has an 8 bit screen capable of only reproducing 72% of the NTSC color range. If you plan on watching Blue Ray DVDs or the emerging broadcasted 1080p movie channels, then consider that the Sony KDL-52XBR6 is a 10 bit screen. A 10 bit screen can reproduce 1 billion color gradations. The XBR will not produce color banding as the KDL-52WL140. You also get support for x.v.Color and Deep Color, the ability of the XBR to reproduce the full color spectrum captured on film and available via Blue Rays.

Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem. I went to the Sony web site and contacted David P. on their chat link and asked the HDMI hook up question.His reply is as follows: "I'd be happy to assist you with that. There is one HDMI connection on those systems that connects to your Television. Once you have connected that, you would then plug any other devices that you have (Cable Box, Game Systems etc) to your TV via HDMI and it will send the sound to the surround sound system." Sounds like it should work but have yet to try it. Good luck. Mark, I am considering buying a Sony KDL-40EX700 TV and a BDV-E770W or BDV-570 Blu-ray Disc Player Home Entertainment sytem.

R. Viegas...Any upconverting DVD will do just fine just make sure it has an HDMI cable (does not need to be in the box because you can buy the for a couple of bucks on monoprice)But The PS3 in my opinion is a great upconverting DVD player that also allows for internet browsing DIVX playback and Will never go out of date if you have a Wireless connection and do firmware updates. Oh and if someone wants to play games it does that too. If you wanna PS3 they have bundles that include a Remote and free blu-ray rentals at blockbuster Sorry for the rant but IMHO the real cool HD is Blu-ray R.

Good info, totally makes sense. Im excited for the 3D and all that but I am also looking forward to the 240Hz in 24" and at the price as there is currently nothing like that now. Will probabaly have to use a different Blu-Ray player for movies to have that smooth look to them as I don't think the PS3 can play movies past 60Hz. Still curious how it looks. I personally like smaller HD screens and am curious how it will look.

What are you using it for? I love my HD66, had for almost 2 years. I have no 3-D adapter (wife get's sick) so for Blue ray movies (Awesome), PS3, Wii all connected through HDMI perfect for me. Works with light leaks in my living room on sunny days. I have also taken outside for "drive in" movie night;) I did lots of reviews and worth the money.

The Sony KDL70R550A is an awesome TV set. I have seen colors that never existed on a Samsung 55" set. The Visio does not do 2d to 3d, and I got a year of free Netflix and Hulu Plus. Also the shipping company was fantastic.

I have not purchased this projector yet but plan to. I have tried to research the 3D part also and my best guess is that if you use a PS3 for 3D movies and games that it will work on this projector without any extra equipment.
