PlayStation 3D Display Gets Delayed in the UK, Due to Inventory Problems

The PlayStation 3D Display was destined to change the publics eye about what 3D can do and the affordability of it. Priced at just $499, Sony’s 24-inch PlayStation 3 Display offers consumers a 1080p television, capable of delivering 2D and 3D, via your cable provider, Blu-ray player or PlayStation 3, one pair of 3D glasses, an HDMI cable and MotorStorm: Apocalypse. However, what sets this display apart from other 3D televisions out there, besides the price point is Sony’s exclusive SimulView technology, allowing you and a friend to play a multiplayer game at the same time on the same screen while each seeing a separate screen. Thanks to the built-in 3D technology, each pair of 3D glasses (one is included in the bundle) is able to receive a separate video image, thus allowing two different screens while each person only sees their own screen on the 24-inch TV.

The PlayStation 3D Display has been on US shelves for nearly two weeks with a UK release around the corner. Now, Amazon has confirmed that Sony will be pushing back the release of their PlayStation branded 3D display, due to inventory problems.

“We have been informed by our supplier that there will be a delay in obtaining stock for this item and it will no longer be released in Europe in 2011.”

Sony has yet to release a statement with any information or a new release date but it seems that the company will miss the much important holiday season, like the PlayStation Vita. As much as it pains our UK readers, we hope that this is due to greater than expected US sales and not due to production issues but we really can’t confirm one or the either just yet.
