There's a mistake in the title and i agree that having to wear glasses for 3d is somewhat of a problem, or atleast an inconvenience.
Um... Jim, I think the title and the article might contradict eachother.
But yeah 3D without the glasses is the way to go oh wait the 3DS.

I have a Sony 3d tv. Wipeout and motorstorm both look and play amazing. Make good enough games and people will get on board. Glasses don't bother me.
Um...not to piss in your Wheaties, Jim, but double check your headline against the article. Sounds to me like he's saying 3D WITH glasses is the problem.
Anyway, I'm not impressed by 3D with or without glasses. It's sort of fun in gimmicky movies where things fly toward the screen but that's about it.

For Fuck sake, I don't want to be watching tv only to bombarded by 3d Tampa ads... Why can't we just leave entertainment at HD?
I have a 3D monitor on my laptop that requires battery-powered glasses. Quality-wise, it kicks the everloving crap out of the 3DS, so if you're really into 3D, it's still a better choice.
The only game I've enjoyed in 3D on my 3DTV is Super Stardust HD.
The Sonic Generations demo was hideous in 3D. Unplayable, even.

It worked both ways, jerks.
3D without glasses is the problem they need to figureout.

For a second I thought I was reading the Daily Mail there with the title suggesting the complete opposite to what the article actually says, the only difference here is that this was an accident (I presume).
...even though glasses-free 3D does not provide the depth that active or passive gives. Oh, and no "sweet spot" requirements on passive or active.
Bitch all you want about the glasses, but they're vastly superior to lenticular (glasses-free) 3D.

I don't agree really. Glasses free 3d is cool but the viewing angles are horrid. It works well on the 3ds but not on bigger screens. I don't understand the complaint of having to wear glasses. Who cares how you look while watching a movie or playing a game in 3d. Your not trying to make a fashion statement and if you are there are designer ones out there.
3D with glasses is a much better quality and easier to watch since the viewing angles are better many times over. I'm used to glasses so perhaps thats why it doesn't bother me. 3d is also much more then silly in your face tricks these days. It can really add to the experience.

Seems to me like this was spoken by someone who hasn't done 3D gaming with a pair of active shutters on their face, because I have no problem wearing my glasses and am ecstatic that some of my top games this year are going to be in 3D (thank you for that Sony). Glass-less would be nice sure, but it's not going to stop me from enjoying the crap out of 3D gaming now instead of waiting 3 years for glass-less displays that can provide view anywhere 3D in 1080p.
I have a 3DS as well and while I don't mind holding the system still, those times when I move the system during a tense moment and the 3D goes crazy on me has me saying, darn it I wish I could wear glasses lol.

I really don't get the problem people have with 3D glasses. People have been wearing glasses out of necessity for centuries. Why now when we have a reason to wear them to increase our appreciation of certain forms of entertainment rather than being forced to wear them so we don't smash face-first into things when we try to walk, is that suddenly a bad thing?
They're not uncomfortable. They're no where near as inconvenient as some make them out to be (the inconvenience is limited to 'well fuck i have to pick up a pair of glasses and put them on my face'). Most models fit fine over prescription glasses. And seriously, who the fuck cares what you look like when you're playing a video game? If we really cared about that, the Wii wouldn't have sold 800 billion units.
I swear to fucking christ it's like people want to go back to gaming on their Commodore 64s the way some people fight tooth and nail against technological advancements in gaming.

The problem with 3D is pricing, not the glasses. Because 3D TVs are expensier than normal TVs people belittle the tech. The reason we have big TVs with Glasses is because the view angle for glass free TVs is very restrict. You need to be in the center and stand straight to see the effect. Minimum movement kills the glass free 3D. That is way individual, smaller screens works better. Oh, and glass free 3D IS more expensive than glass on 3D.
I paid $32.67 for a XBOX 360 and my mom got a 17 inch Toshiba laptop for $94.83 being delivered to our house tomorrow by FedEX. I will never again pay expensive retail prices at stores. I even sold a 46 inch HDTV to my boss for $650 and it only cost me $52.78 to get. Here is the website we using to get all this stuff,

I'll never get a 3D TV as long as I need glasses. I can't fucking wear those on top of a regular pair of glasses. If I take those off, then I can't see the 3D, anyway. So screw it.
Hey, Destructoid, can we have a YouTube-like "flag as spam" option on every post for assholes like BeckerRosalind34345488?
I'm with ricochetguro and laughplaylive.
Most of the complaints about 3D TV's in general are not even acceptable complaints. It's like one guy someplace said glasses are the suxorz and gave a bunch of bad reasons why, and everyone (who's never even tried a 3D set for more than 5 minutes) jumped on board, agreed, and spreads the same fallicies everywhere.
Now a days, you can get glasses that don't look "stupid" not that it even matters. All the glasses I have are perfectly comfortable. You don't have to worry about angles while viewing when you use glasses, and believe me, it's going to be a while before they can make large screens where angles have no effects on the 3D.
Like LaughPlayLive said, I'm ecstatic that a lot of big titles comign this year that I've been looking forward to are going to have 3D support. Uncharted 3 and Resistance 3 will be great. Modern Warfare 2 looks and felt awesome in 3D. The 3D in Mortal Kombat 9 is solid. As someone else mentioned, super stardust and wipeout in 3D both play and feel great in 3D.
I don't know. Personally I just don't get all the hating. This is like when you're in like 5th grade and your friend has a Genesis or SNES and you hate it because you didn't have one, then like a year later you get one and talk about how great it is.
Obviously there would be a larger adoption rate if the glassless technology was there, but it's not, and the more people keep hating on the glasses technology (without even having any experience with it), the less likely it is to get adopted at all to even make it to the glassless stage.

See, this just proves my previous point. Most, if not all 3D glasses are designed to fit over regular glasses, while still being comfortable.

3d schmee d...a 3d movie is cool once in awhile, but that's about it, for me...its a nice experience, but.like anything, loses the appeal when in excess.
I don't like 3D gaming. I barely like 3D movies. All it does is make games harder to play. SSIV on the 3DS is probably the best use of 3D in gaming I've experienced but even then I only used it half the time. Do people really want to experience all their media at home through an optical illusion?
Who cares if you have to carry stupid glasses you get to freak out in front of the tv and that's cool
Personally I'd rather see technology going more toward producing TVs with higher resolutions, less energy consumption, etc... 3D Might be cool for some games and movies but for massive wide-spread 3d craze and adoption to occur its going to have to make some pretty large tech leaps.
3D TVs are going down in price, though. 2 of my friends just picked up a 42 inch 3DTV that uses stereoscopic glasses (the ones from the movie theater) for $650
@Squishy: I suppose if the price is the same why not buy a tv with 3d? I'm sure it will get to that point eventually. I still don't see it as ever becoming the "big deal" some companies are trying to push it as. But who can blame them -- its their job to market and sell their products.
Presumably stuff like the parallax barrier technology employed by the 3DS, which feels weird when you're perceiving the effect, is just an interim solution until proper holographic displays become viable. 3DS isn't really powerful enough for that, though. :P
Bingo. I'm not going out of my way for 3D until I don't need glasses just to see the darned thing. Even then, it seems like an excuse to get me to buy another television set.
Those coments. Ppl do always defend the gimicks they obiously wasted money on! If you got no friends playing with glasses isnt a problem right. But if you play regulary with lots of people i think this could be a problem. Despite you have to much glasses. Next big step in gaming is to wear a pink bikini while playing.
Its allways the excuse for the "3ds" to say "oh they dont want to wear the glasses because of the looks" and " the no3ds standing in the way of technology". There are so much facts for me that say nay to 3d.
The price, my hdtv is about 2 years old, sorry guys im not the sort of thec-whore. Call me old fashioned but for myself a tv has to last at least 5-10 years. And i recently arrived in the hdtv generation. Damnit there are Not even all tv chanells in hd. So No to 3d
Friends, when you got lots of friends do you swap controllers and glasses? Should i force my friends to buy one just for playing/ watching? Should i buy 10 glasses just in case? No to 3d
Next problem the fitting, what if you already wear glasses? No to 3d
Motion sickness, some ppl seem to havent realised yet that there are lots of gamers out there wich have that Problem. I watched that one movie in 3d it looked fantastic. Till everything started to move. At that Moment the 3d was non existend. And i thought gaming is all about moving somthing to somwhere.
So no to 3d.

As the owner of a recently acquired 3D television; thumbs up.
I picked up a passive3D LG 47" and must say, it took a few days of having my brain adjust to the additional dimension in boob toobery, but after a week, I truly can't understand how anyone with two functioning eyeballs wouldn't like it. Trying it for a few minutes at Bestbuy just isn't time enough for your brain to truly understand the information it's processing. Most people complaining have probably spent a decade or longer having their brains form, while watching the traditional "flat-screen." Of course you're not going to instantly transition to having depth on the old glass teat.
If you haven't given 3D at least a week, in your home, then do so before you say it sucks.
Why?
Because, shut the fuck up.

I'll buy a 3DS, but that's as far as you'll get me to go people. Glasses or no glasses. I didn't care about it when I was a teenager, and you'll have to drag me like a kid being drug out of a candy shop to get me to care now.
I used cheap active glasses with my crt monitor years ago. Worked like a charm, still works well. What pisses me off is that they play the stereoscopic card in the cheapest and worst looking possible way! God forbids they send a progressive signal to the screen, better have a lousy interlaced solution. Maybe they just love 1080i, who knows. Also, the motion sickness argument is total or so bullshit. My cousin couldn't stand 3d games (polygons, not stereoscopic) and so her GameBoy was the best platform ever. Then she got used to the difference and now couldn't give a shit if it's 2d of 3d.
