I'd like to try it, but I have just recently upgraded my TV, so I don't think I'll be buying a 3D enabled TV any time soon.

After watching UP in 3D I can't think of anything I want less than 3D TV! Absolutely fantastic film but the 3D was more distracting than beneficial (especially the stupid reflections in the sides of the glasses...). Although at least the 3D Stereoscopic tvs will not need the glasses.

Correction. I assumed that Stereoscopic meant Autostereoscopic. It seems that these Stereoscopic TVs do require glasses (which is just rubbish). Although the autostereoscopic tvs also have the problem of letting multiple people view the image even if there is the benefit of not needing glasses.

3DTV is rubbish full stop!

So not confusing at all then?

BTW - Isnt Avatar also releasing on the 360 and Wii? will it also be 3D on these? If so, why would the PS3 need FW to do so?

"The Stereoscopic TVs do not require glasses"

Yeah but tests have shown they can induce excessive Migrane's after periods of extended use (over 4 hours), cant see that working if you have to stop playing after 4 hours, my average tops 4 hrs most occasions

the only good 3d is in cinema's on top movies like UP.
i watched that stupid magic show on 4 and it was f**king shite, 3d my fat ass.
this won't catch on for 3 years minimum and i'm not going to be buying a 3d tv, i've already got a top hd tv.

Watched the Avatar game being played in 3D at the Eurogamer Expo and it was actually very impressive. Can see it working very well with COD/Uncharted type titles.

I can think of few things worse than '3D games'.

Gaming can be a strain enough on the eyes as it is, without all that 3D nonsense.

The problem for me is that 3D in the sense of these 3D films isn't the same as actual, real-life 3D... as I see it, my eyes witness a 3D world in the same way a television screen witnesses it - the 3D elements are there, but don't protrude into my line of vision like these 3D films do - it's not realistic in any way

tried out the 3D tv without glasses in Harrods a few months back, only works if you are standing directly in front of it and makes you feel a little dizzy (it works a bit like those plastic flip image things you get in cereal packets and on rulers etc). Also the resolution was pretty crap so it would be no good for games at the moment.
