The new stereoscopic 3D is fucking awesome! Seen a couple of 3D films and it blew me away, think in the 90's the red and green glasses were just too far ahead of their time without the tech to support them.
I for one can't wait to get it on my PS3. although i hear you need a "special" TV and I only recently bought my LCD....

I've got my flannel shirt and teenage angst ready! 3D's radical dude!!

I'll take them only if they're ALF POGs. Remember ALF? He's back... In POG form.
Also, I don't get this whole 3D craze. It doesn't add anything to a film besides cheap 3D tricks. I honestly don't care if I walk out of a theater saying "Did you see that bookcase in the background? It looked so much farther away than the foreground!" Which is what proponents of 3D film are touting as its greatest strenght ("Realistic depth will make you feel immersed in the film!"). Sorry, but realistic depth is less immersive than those tinted 3D glasses are distracting. 3D should stick to 15 minutes movies at theme parks.

I'm not a fan of this at all. We al think we're set with our HDTVs and what do you know, here comes another thing that they want us to believe we need. If this is the way gaming goes, I won't be along for the ride. I'm not paying thousands of dollars for a gimmicky ass TV. I am, however, a fan of that header pic.
I'm with Gatorsax.
I saw Christmas Carol in 3D recently, and I didn't notice anything I didn't see in the 80s. Ooo Jim Carrey's arm came out of the screen for three seconds!
The only quasi cool 3D presentation I've seen is Philharmagic at Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom, but that's because they used other tricks like blowing food flavored scents in your face while the 3D tricks were happening. I remember about ten years ago when developers said they wanted to make a scent machine for games. I believe Resident Evil 3 was the first game they wanted to try it on.

Magnalon: Smell-o-vision for movies has been around, as a concept, since at least the 1930's. I think Disney was interested in it for Fantasia at one point as well.
Strange times.

As if 3D were some game changing experience. Worth a new TV? Hardly. I'd rather play normally anyway.
I have never liked 3d technology, largely because it's incompatible with my prescription eyeglasses, and largely because it gives me a tremendous headache.
@elysse
Yea, they use it for Soarin', the ride as well. I'm talking about in your HOME, though! Those crazy dreamers.

I don't want it at least as a standard- I don't know what it is about the new 3d movies but half of it usually looks like a big blur to me- maybe the way my eyes focus since I have never seen magic eye posters either
@Magnalon
Smell-o-vision in mah HOMEZ? Hooray, all the smells of a shopping mall and 14-year old B.O. + Axe to enjoy in my living room! GROUNDBREAKING!

@Arkhon, I have the same problem too and I wonder if it's due to the fact that I have glasses too. Although I will admit that the 3-D effect worked really well on Beowulf but I wonder if it's because of the movie or rather the fact that I saw the film digitally-projected.
Will this be implemented for all games, or just a select few? If it's for all games, I wonder what would happen if you turned it on while playing a 2D game, like Braid?
3D glasses are awesome... if you're not already wearing normal glasses. I think the only time I ever thought 3D was cool was Captain E-O presentations at the Epcot Center. Now that I have grown 20 years older since, 3D stuff just gives me migrane headaches.
If M$ said this you would be praising it. And a lot of TVs coming out are 3D compatible, from what I've read, and not 10,000 bucks. I do give you props for the Freddy pic.
Anyone else seen any of the 3D week from Channel 4 here in the UK? They're using the blue and red cardboard glasses, the effect seems more layered than 3D.
On the other hand I saw Up and The Nightmare Before Christmas in 3D using cool Rayban-like shades and that looked better, still like multiple layers though.
I flinched a few times with the glasses on, if that could happen with survival horror games I might need to stock up on nappies (diapers?).

No, I wouldn't. I would say "Microsoft, do not want". Every complaint isn't based on fanboy foolishness, sometimes a gimmicky idea is just a gimmicky idea. Just like Natal and the PS3 wand.

I'd be all over this. I remember back when there were rumours that the "Revolution" was going to use stereoscopic 3D and I was shitting bricks. I really don't know why people are so against this. HD gaming is great but it could use a little "pop". Like the KZ2 loading screens!!
I thought I read the Avatar game based on the movie is utilizing this 3d tech. My Samsung HDTV has it and I've never used it.

I can only speak for myself, but my personal problem with it is that I have invested a lot of money in TVs that give me picture quality which is as close to perfect as I can imagine wanting, and now they're pushing yet another TV "innovation" on us. Luckily, I don't think consumers who just got done paying $1,000+ for HDTVs are going to accept the idea of having to buy a new TV for a gimmicky feature, so this won't become "the norm" for gaming.

Did Sony learn nothing from motion control in their controllers? 3D gaming....unless there's been some massive reinvention beyond what even the newest movie theatres use right now, this sounds more like a headache. A literal one.
Maybe I'm just old, but even the new 3D movies now, they look great...but they hurt my eyes by the end of the movie. That's just an hour and a half...I game a lot! Certainly longer than an hour and a half.
I smell gimmick failure in Sony's future again. I'd love for them to prove me wrong.

3d actually works very well with gaming. its already available for pc gaming, and its amazing. you people need to experience it. it works way better for games than it does for movies.
@ akathatoneguy
But at the same time there are still many people who have yet to make that jump to HDTVs. I still don't have one but I thankfully got a good deal on my PC monitor that my PS3 is hooked up to. I guess what I'm saying that 3D gaming doesn't have to be "the norm" but having the option there for those who can use it is never a bad thing. I don't think it's right to ever hold back innovation and progression.

@CelicaCrazed:
I know I'm not really trying to hold back innovation. I would really rather people try to get away from 3D technology that uses ridiculous goggles that strain the eyes and don't fit over normal eyeglasses. There should be more research in that direction, because as long as it uses glasses it will cause headaches in many people and be inaccessible to most near- or far-sighted people.

Why can you people just let me enjoy these gimmicks?? -__-
