So I have been keeping an eye out for this for quite some time already, and hopefully I will be able to get a pair in Norway soon.

Tho I am a little skeptical on what they will support. Are they bound to Sony products only, or can I connect it to my PC using a HDMI cable?

And is there anyone here that actually got any experience with these?

There are 4 reviews at the time of posting, 3 are presale (i.e, they've not actually tried it yet) but two of them have for some reason given it 5/5. One is from someone who actually has it, they have it 1/5. So it's not looking good!

Gizmodo gave it a mini-review a couple of weeks ago: http://gizmodo.com/5857709/sony-hmz t1-3dtv-headset-review-an-amazing-toy

Bottom line was its the first of these devices that's actually "good enough", but its still quite unwieldy and uncomfortable for extended use.

Hmm, well hopefully the prices will drop fast. Paying 800$ for something that is only on a "developing stage" is a little to much. If it is a hit, I suppose the technology in these will blossom aswell!

But thanks for the review, most I've found so far have only been about the design and nothing much about the function.

720p, think I'll wait a year or so for the 1080p version. Never buy the first generation of any device if I can help it :).

Don't trust Sony these days either. Too many bad experiences. Also they do not manufacture any LCD Panels. They just buy panels from other suppliers. How they claim to be experts in this field is beyond me.
