Japan’s Panasonic Cortp. revealed the price of their first 3-D TV set last Wednesday and it is said to amount at around $3000. The cost is for a 50-inch plasma set, one pair of glasses and a 3-D Blu-ray player.

This is Panasonic’s answer for the recent announcement of their South Korean competitor Samsung Corp. saying that their 3-D TV set will sell for $3,000 wherein buyers get a 46-inch set, two pairs of glasses, a 3-D Blu-ray player and a 3-D copy of “Monsters vs. Aliens.” There’s also a 55-inch set available but it’s $3,300 for the set alone.

LG Electronics and Sony Corp. will also be releasing their 3-D TV Sets this summer as studios are starting to rush in putting out 3-D movie discs.
