According to Sony, the new line of Internet HDTVs includes:

• The 46-inch Sony Internet TV NSX-46GT1 — $1,399.99
• The 40-inch Sony Internet TV NSX-40GT1 — $999.99
• The 32-inch Sony Internet TV NSX-32GT1 — $799.99
• The 24-inch Sony Internet TV NSX-24GT1 – $599.99

The 24-inch model features a CCFL backlight LCD, while the bigger models have been equipped with Edge LED backlight displays. The devices will become available at Sony Style outlets beginning this weekend. However, the new Sony Internet HDTVs will make their way to Best Buy on October 24. All of the different models include a hand-held RF QWERTY keypad remote with an incorporated optical mouse.

An official remote control application for Android will be made available this Fall. (Which, along with various other un-official apps, should hopefully improve upon the reportedly clumsy remote.) Additionally, the HDTVs will be able to download applications from the Android Market in early 2011.

SONY REDEFINES HOME ENTERTAINMENT WITH THE WORLD’S FIRST HDTV POWERED BY GOOGLE TV

Watch HDTV, Enjoy Apps and Browse the Internet Seamlessly on One Device

NEW YORK, October 12, 2010 – Furthering the company’s leadership in the connected TV space, Sony today introduced Sony Internet TV, powered by Google TV — the world’s first television with the ability to watch HDTV, enjoy apps, and browse the Internet seamlessly on one device.

The combination of Sony’s hardware and engineering expertise and Google’s understanding of open software provides a unique user experience, merging multiple content sources in one easy-to-use interface. From broadcast to streaming video from the Internet, Sony Internet TV offers the ability to quickly search and watch content from wherever, whenever.

“Sony Internet TV is the world’s first HDTV that combines the big-screen impact of television and full Internet search to deliver an unrivaled entertainment experience,” said Mike Abary, senior vice president of Sony’s Home Division. “Finally, you can seamlessly search your favorite TV programs and web sites on the same screen, at the same time.”

“We are very proud to be the pioneers of this new entertainment category by delivering the world’s first true Internet TV experience,” added Bob Ishida, senior vice president, corporate executive, and president of Home Entertainment Business Group, Sony Corporation. “Sony Internet TV creates value by introducing new and compelling ways to enjoy a variety of content.”

Featuring both integrated television models and a Blu-ray Disc™ player, Sony Internet TV is powered by Google TV. It is built on the Android platform, runs the Google Chrome browser and includes a powerful Intel® Atom® processor offering the ability to quickly search across Internet and television content for easy access to entertainment and information.

The models also feature Dual View, allowing users to watch television while tweeting about what they’re watching, checking their fantasy football scores, or finding related content on the web.

They also deliver a truly personalized entertainment experience with the ability to bookmark content for easy access and add applications from the Android™ Market (coming in early 2011). The models feature Sony’s premium streaming service “Video On Demand powered by Qriocity™” as well as pre-installed apps including CNBC, Napster, NBA, Netflix, Pandora,® Twitter, and YouTube.™

The intuitive hand-held RF QWERTY keypad remote incorporating an optical mouse makes it easy to navigate content, type in search terms, and control the TV’s user interface. Additionally, select mobile devices such as an Android phone, can control the TV with an app that will be available for download from the mobile Android Market later this fall.

Built-in Wi-Fi makes it easy to connect to home broadband networks to access web content. Additionally, Sony Internet TV is ready for the future and is fully upgradable through system updates.

Sony Internet TV easily connects to select HD DVR devices from Dish Network to include previously recorded content in the search results and control DVR functionality from the set’s user interface.

Sony Internet TV Line

Featuring four LCD HDTVs with Google TV built-in, the Sony Internet TV line includes the 24-inch class NSX-24GT1 ($599.99), the 32-inch class NSX-32GT1 ($799.99), the 40-inch NSX-40GT1 ($999.99), and the 46-inch NSX-46GT1 ($1,399.99).

Sony Internet TV Blu-ray Disc Player

The Sony Internet TV Blu-ray Disc™ player with Google TV built-in, NSZ-GT1 ($399.99), also allows users to enjoy all of the powerful features of Google TV on their existing HDTV.

Sony Internet TV and the Sony Internet TV Blu-ray Disc Player are currently on pre-sale at www.SonyStyle.com and www.BestBuy.com. They will be available for purchase at Sony Style on October 16 and at Best Buy shortly after.

One of the coolest things about what the new Xbox 360 Experience is bringing to the table is that it is truly going to transform the living/family room. Not just by its unique gaming experience, and the ability of families being able to play together but… also by offering something unique for every member of the household. The overall strategy and direction Xbox has taken is pure genius. If they keep this up, Microsoft may well become one of the major players in our living room in the coming years.

From a gaming perspective Kinect for Xbox 360 is poised to open up entirely new audiences for Xbox – those that, up till now, have been accustomed to the Wii – families. Entire families. And they’ll move from the Wii too. Here why:

UPDATE 10/21/2010:

• Microsoft just announced that the official launch of Microsoft Kinect will take place at Toys”R”Us, in Times Square, New York where you will get to play exclusive games before their release date, free-prizes and exclusive performances.
• Official Launch Date: November 4, 2010

For Kids:

For Women:

For Families:

For Sports Fans:

For Gamers (Who, at this time, still need a controller):

With everything Kinect for Xbox 360 and Xbox Live has to offer, it will soon become a household appliance, as opposed to just another gaming console.
