I am not going to comment on PS3 3D quality as it remains to be seen what it looks like and what games get supported (my guess is not many)...

I will say that if you want be part of the 3D craze you have 2 options.

PS3 - 299 bucks
50 inch 3DTV - 3000 bucks
Glasses + games (if you can even find any games you want to play) - 200 bucks + content

OR

Decent computer - 1000 bucks
Nvidia GTX470 SLI - 700 bucks
Mitsubishi 60 inch 120 hz DLP TV or 3 24 inch 3D monitors (surround 3D) - 1200
Nvidia 3D vision glasses (over 400 supported games) - 200 + content

Both will play 3D games, both will play 3D blurays. But my guess tells me that one is going to be much supoerior to the other.

I adjusted your numbers for accuracy and err um relevance to a normal effective budget. You're not gonna stick a pair of GTX4xx cards into a $50 case!

Some probably would just to support the notion that a hobo box only needs $600+ worth of VGA cards to turn it into high end gaming PC. Playing in the Danger Zone with cut cost components along the way I might add.

I think both lists just illustrate that 3D gaming really isn't very viable on either platform currently due to the prohibitive initial set up cost for what is likely to be a scant handful of titles that may not even warrant the initial investment in hardware. Lackluster games in full 3D are still... lackluster games. You just will have paid a lot more to play them.

Sure, I'd like to see Avatar in mindblowing 3D like I saw on IMAX. Would I pay $3000 for a special TV to watch it on? Probably... not.
