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!

I dont think I agree with this. I did lots of research and you can find a decent tower case with proper cooling for 100 bucks. Sure it won't be Antec but it will still do the job.

So you have case ~100

Power supply 100 bucks

mobo + basic Athlon quad core CPU - 250 (you really don't need I7)

Ram 4GB -70 bucks

I guess Wondows 7 is 100 bucks too...so like 650-700 bucks is more than enough to make a 3D capable machine...sans videocards, which I listed separatly.
