I didn't realise tv makers had gone the active glasses route. As if there weren't enough expensive peripherals on games consoles, now TV's need some too?

Polarized displays would be great to keep the cost of glasses down...but a lot of people are saying that 3D quality isn't as crisp as with active shutter glasses.

To be honest, with these consoles doing 720p @ 30 hz...polarized 3D option and displays would probably be just as good.  They should include support for everything. Avatar included the RealD 3D format...on top of all active glasses formats 

Amazon released a thing called 3D 101 that i found pretty interesting.

according the these videos, the polarized displays have trouble switching the polarization fast enough.  for anyone interested but feeling very noobish about 3D it was a pretty good series of videos imo and only took about 10 min to watch all of them.

edit: i rewatched it and i quoted them wrong - their reason was expensive.  guess i'm full of shit. xD
