Sony has recently announced their new lineup of Blu-ray DVR recorders, as well as their new 3D Bravia series, the HX810. Based on that same lineup and technology, Sony is also introducing the 3D LED HX80R and the 3D LED EX30R. This new series grabs the same panel technology used in the HX810 lineup and combines them with a built in 500GB hard drive, as well as a full Blu-ray recorder and player, giving you a nice all in one setup. (Reminds me of my old TV/VCR combo TV).

The HX80R:

• 1080p 3D
• LED Backlight
• 500GB internal HDD
• Blu-ray Player/Recorder
• XMB
• CREAS 3 Image engine
• DLNA
• 10Wx2 speakers
• Sizes: 40″, 46″ and 55″

The EX30R:

• HD 1366×768 (Slightly higher then 720p but not quite 1080i) 3D
• LED Backlight
• 500GB internal HDD
• Blu-ray Player/Recorder
• XMB
• CREAS 3 Image engine
• DLNA
• 8Wx2 speakers
• Sizes: 26″ and 32″

No word on price or release date for the US.

Update:

Just like the HX810 series, these units are 3D ready, meaning you will still need a 3D transmitter ($150) and 3D glasses. I have to admit though, I hated the idea of the transmitter until I actually saw it in store. They are fairly small and unintrusive.
