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.

its called dont buy it right away. sony will be better than hd dvd just be patient, and like the other poster said the low end ps3 will be 500 dollars............half the price with a little patience. personally though im going to get the high end ps3 for 600. either way sounds much better than 1000.

I just bought a 3D TV (Samsung PN59D550). I have the Sony bdp-s570 plugged directly into the TV via HDMI, and when I tried to play Bolt 3D, I get the black screen with the message that the set up is not 3D capable and that I should ensure that my blu ray player is hooked up to a 3D capable device via HDMI. I don't get it. Any one else have any suggestions on how to make this work? I don't want to go buy another Blu Ray player, but I am thinking of buying a Samsung BluRay player to ensure compatibility between the two. This is frustrating.

I just bought my first HDTV - the Samsung LN37A550, for playing regular movies and my Xbox 360. I did a lot of research before making the commitment, and I decided on this Samsung because of the size (not too big for my living room), the price (just over $1,000 is a great deal) and the features (HDMI hookups, 1080p). Your PS3 outputs games at 1080p, so you should definitely look for that feature to get the most out of it - the PS3 will also play blu-ray movies at 1080p and upconvert regular movies to 1080p over HDMI cables. Look for a set that has a high contrast ratio (the higher the number the more colors will look vibrant and the blacks look darker) and a fast response time (in this case the lower the number the faster, so that games and fast action sequences appear smooth). Most importantly (I think) pick a size that seems right for the room in which you will use it. There's no point dropping $$$$ on a huge TV if you have a small room - HDTV is so much sharper than regular TV, you won't need a massive set to see the benefits. For a bedroom, consider getting something either 32" or 37". Check out the Sharp LC32D64U, the Sharp LC37D62U or the Samsung LN37A550 (the one I ended up buying) for some good models at this size range. Good luck!

Great HD set purchased the 55" 3D sony bravia, with PS3 bundle 2199.00. Would recommend saving about 900.00 by not buying the one with 3D, 500.00 on set and 400.00 on 3D package. The 3D effect makes everyone in my household sick after viewing more than 10 minutes.

Yes. Lemme say though. I'm a guy who likes cool gimmicks. 3D, isn't great. Not with ps3, or 4... Not with most movies. Headache, literal, and not something one often uses. I know more than a few folks in the same spot. I still have that TV. I also have a samsung led stripped out, not smart, but hd and under a grand. Costco selling them.

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.

Hey Oleg, I was just wondering if you might give me/us an update on the TV. I'm about to pull the trigger on the same model/size as the one you bought and just wanted to know how satisfied you are with your purchase. Also was wondering how well the 3D works, if you would be so kind. Thank You!

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 I just paid $34.96 for my first 3D movie, Tron 3D.

Heads up, I ordered the Samsung LCDTV that had the free blue ray player. Now, Datavision has charged my credit for the full price of the player. They say they are unaware of any Promo. Amazon.com has not responded to my email and the LCD HDTV is due to arrive today. My advice, any promos you see, you better print off the screen because that is the only proof you are going to have that it ever existed at all.

Did you go with the TX-SR606? I got it a few months ago and love it. It's a bit large but it handles all audio formats, so I'm happy with it. With HDMI cables (as with speaker cables) name brand means nothing. You will save a bundle if you just go with the cheapest ones you can find. Best Buy tries to sell the Monster brand HDMI cables for a hundred bucks or more. That is robbery. I got my three Belkin HDMI cables at Target for $40 each and I paid too much. Just get anything you see that is version 1.3 or better. As far as Blu-Ray goes, the PS3 is the best thing out there. It's a bit expensive though. So if you're trying to save some money, I have seen some good reviews for the Sony BD-S350. The DMP-BD55K looks nice too, as does the Samsung P2500. When it comes to deciding which one to buy, it all boils down to cost vs. benefit.

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.

Does this still work as good if you do not have a 3D TV? I want all the other features and have not found them on a player besides this one...any suggestions?

Has anyone played games on it?I just bit the bullet and bought the Samsung LN40A550 based on reviews. (Got ps3 for blue ray discs and I watch A LOT of movies.) I also like to play FPS and other games with a lot of movement and action. Has anyone noticed any sort of ghosting or blurring when they play games on it? Bad thing to wonder about AFTER I buy the tv, but I'm sure it'll still be worth it when I see my movies in a new-1080p-light.

Same here on 3D support. I'm using my Playstation 3 for 3D Blu Ray, but would really like a Blu Ray changer. I have two Sony 400 DVD changers and really use / love them. Yet, a Blu Ray changer without 3D in 2011 is just short changing the buyer.
