Ive said this before...and ill do it again. I have a 3D ready TV...67 inch 3D Tv. And I have the Nvidia Vision glasses and have played countless games in 3D on my PC.

There is no way that Sony will try and depend on this tech. Its not as good as people think... Only hopeless fanboys who have never tried 3D gaming are saying this is Sonys future.

If sony makes this available for some ps3 games (4-5 games tops will be able to do this on the PS3)...cool for them and PS3 gamers that have never tried 3D gaming, but there is nothing new in this and this tech has been around for a long time. Sony pushing this would be like nintendo pushing cartriges again.

name some of the countless pc games if you don't mind....

FEAR, FEAR2, Crysis Warhead, GTA San Andreas, Halo, half life 2. I tried a few others like Gears of War just to see what it will look like.

Sadly my computer cant run new new games in 3D like REsident evil 5 and GTA4. You need a MONSTER pc to pull these games off in 3D.

Here is a complete list of everything Nvidia vision supports

I also use 3D on my old CRT TV. But theres a big difference in a 2D media (all the on you mentioned) process to display in 3D. Than an original 3D media. One add depth to your screen while the other make things pop off the screen, adding depth as the same time, which is really nice. When you said in your first post that 3D is not cool, I guess you were talking about 2D media convert into 3D (by your nvidia program). Any time I show 3D imax movies to friends on the old CRT eveyrone is amaze, only problem is the flickers. What Sony is doing will be flicker free, so it will be simply awesome. Did you play a game like Avatar? one of the very few that is program in 3D. I did not, but I guess it would be much better than your experiences from 2D games process into 3D.

 

Also theres is no reason for the TVs to cost more than 2000$ unless you want a really big one. The googles use for my CRT processing unit are about 15$ each. It should not be as expensive as some of the comments.

Yeah CRTs work too but they flicker as their refresh rate is 100hz. You really need 120 or more.

Apparently there is a trick to play Avatar in 3D on PS3 and 360 already using Nvidia glasses and one of the 3D supported TVs and monitors. I have all the necessary components so will rent avatar one of these days and try it out.
