Usually to Sony's disadvantage when they announce they're bringing out something new on the lines of a headset theirs nothing special...but with the new accessorys, they would beg to differ. Sony announced that they are coming out with a 3D headset, which, they think, would be a "gigantic game-changer".
Sony said in their official statement
The great thing about this new headset is that it's not going to be much of a kerfuffle as you only need to to plug it in using a HDMI cable and you'll be able to play your 3D games and watch movies as quickly as that. Also, to the advantage of the new headset, the controls are built-in the headset making it that much easier to adjust the volume and settings to your own accord.
As of now the device named the HMZ-T1 Personal 3D Viewer is only confirmed for Japan release on the 11th of November, this year. It will be priced at around 60,000 JPY(Japanese yen) which comes to around £481, converted to US dollars would be $740. But why? why would anyone be wanting pay so much for this....well, Some of the device features are known as a dual 1280x720 0.7-inch OLED panels mounted in front of each of your eyes (apparently offering an experience similar to viewing a 750-inch screen from 20meters away), as well as 5.1 surround sound from integrated headphones.

Holy shit...DAT TECH! DAT PRICE! GOT DAMN! O___O
Kinda sucks that Japan is basically the lab rat for this product. I'm guessing this is a way to replace TVs or at least a way to have two TVs with out having both TVs take up the space. Risky innovation. I CANNOT see TV dieing. Ever. This would be great tech if it was a portable TV set in a headset.
