This is the true savior of 3d, 3-d has been done before but this is the secret of truly emersive experiences.

Darrin- I own a $1100 A/V Receiver that would not be 3D compliant. Many others also own expensive Blu-Ray players that also would not be compliant.

3D will be very similar to the whole 1080p thing. At first it was double the cost for a same size 1080p HDTV from the same manufacturer compared to the 720p model. Eventually it will drop into all models within the next few years.

The issue for me is their isn’t a standard yet. Everyone is making 3D their own way. We have the Red/Green glasses, Shutter Glasses, and Glassless to name a few.

Darrin go buy one of these beast so you can give us a detailed opinion!

When you see a 3D movie how quickly do you forget that it’ 3D? About 10 minutes in. This is just technology looking for a market. It’s not going to find one.

I think that if you have to go out and buy and 3D HDTV than this invention will FAIL. HDTV’s are already expensive as hell and just imagin how much an 3d HDTV will cost. Now if there is a way to get like a firmware update to allow 3D to play on our exsisting HDTV’s then i see 3D gaming going a long way.

I’m not ready for it, nor do I want it, or feel it is at all necessary.

As someone who wears glasses, 3D is nothing but a migraine-inducing waste of time for me. Until such time as Sony – or anyone else, for that matter – can provide a sensible, useable solution for people who already wear glasses (and there are literally HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of us), 3D will be little more than an unuseable gimmick.
