No damm way i will buy a 3D TV right now. I have my dearest and closest Sony Bravia 40'' V Series at home, and i am very happy whit it!
It seems that the game company are trying to push us, the costumers, this new "technology" of display, spend more money in something that we need to use with a 3D glasses. That doesn't make sense.

No thanks!!

I also do not understand, why I need a new TV. The minimum changes for the customers should be to just buy a pair of shutter glasses.

Yes, the picture would not be as stable, because it would only repeat at about 25Hz, but this would be the cheapest way to get 3D gaming.

For about 250 USD just for the glasses I even might be curious enough to test it.

No, never. 3D is a big hype. I don't want 3D games.

Did you ever play a 3D game? I did back in 199x. Some of you might remember those glasses from graphic cards manufactorers. I played a racing game then and it really helped the game.

So, I'm not against 3D games, I just don't see the need for such an expensive hardware upgrade.

nice thread Dirk, really got the members involved in an important, upcoming matter, well by the time 3D gaming takes place i will probably be out working (i'm not unemployed, i'm still at school, nearly left) so i'm not quite sure weather i'll be investing into a expensive piece of equipment like that

No, not me. Not until such time as it becomes a necessity.

I wear glasses, and while I can manage the occasional movie at 90 or 120 minutes, wearing 3D glasses over the top of my normal ones is uncomfortable and can bring on migraines.

I have no wish to subject myself to that on a regular basis, whether it be for watching TV shows in 3D or playing games in 3D.

I will not be interested in 3D until such time as they can present it without the need to wear any form of special glasses.

Good point. Never thought about that, although I need glasses myself, but wear contact lenses most of the time :-)

Totally agreed.

Put on top of that the high cost for purchasing a new TV and the replacement glasses, in case you need it.

And don't forget there is not enough content yet that justifies the cost and the trouble. Give it at least 1yr before becoming "ready" for the average joe.

No way would I upgrade. 3D doesn't even really work for me 99% of the time so pretty much a total gimmick feature at this point. I think Sony are correct to put it out there now and get ahead of everyone, but at this point uptake is gonna be pretty low I think
