| TheTruthHurts! said: Awesome feature and awesome news for what will be an already amazing game. Unfortunately only a select few will be able to implement the 3D functionality. My 3D PC monitor was almost $300, and it is only 22 inches. 3D TV prices are going to be insane at first. Regardless, it will be a nice feature, when more widely available. |
18. How much does all of this cost?
We don't know for sure, but the first 3D TVs won't be as expensive as the first HDTVs were, for example. With the exception of Vizio, no HDTV maker has yet announced pricing on its 3D-compatible HDTVs. While all TV makers are placing 3D only in their more-expensive models this year, we don't expect 3D TVs to cost much more than existing high-end plasmas and LCDs. The same goes for Blu-ray players (there's no word yet on how much, if anything, the PS3's promised 3D upgrade will cost) and for content itself (it's anyone's guess whether 3D Blu-rays will cost a couple bucks more than normal versions).
Again, no TV maker has specified costs for its 3D glasses, although Toshiba came closest when it told us "Glasses may cost $99.99, but this is not yet final" and LG also ballparked a price of around $100. Compatibility between glasses and TVs will be left up to individual manufacturers, although we do anticipate the third-party 3D glasses market taking off in the next couple of years.
