BERLIN, GERMANY--We're here at IFA at the Sony press conference, where Sony CEO Sir Howard Stringer reckons the "3D train is on the track--and we're the ones to drive it home". 3D is Sony's big push, but we're more interested in the announcement of a movie-download service for the PS3 and PSP, via the PlayStation Network.

Sony has announced its first 3D-compatible Bravia LCD TV, to arrive in 2010. It promises a high frame rate and 1,920 x 1,080 pixels per eye to give what Sony describes as "high-definition, high-quality 3D images". 3D-enabled Blu-ray players are set to follow and even the PS3 will be involved.
