That's actually a really good use for 3D glasses, but:

• You're still using 3D glasses which is still a fail
• Max 2 players in a world where people seem to deman at least 4 players

Its like using a long shoehorn as a back scratcher. Its really not meant for it...but it works :)

3D TVs are really not meant for this, but its a little bonus feature...As long as they don't charge any money for an adapter or some BS like that, I'm for it.

Like I said, these would required different glasses than the 3D glasses, so this would be an additional cost.

The current technology that lets you do this (with 2 consoles) uses same glasses and audio jacks.

Only reason why you'd need different glasses is because you want the sound to go to each user. If its one console doing this, then yes, I agree.

If its 2 consoles running on the same TV (more likely scenario) you won't need new glasses.

Sorry, I dont understand what you say. This is about the glasses allowing specific information to pass on to the eye. For 3D you need two different lenses one for left, one for right to get the effect. For this you need identical lenses on one glasses and identical but different lenses on the other.

This has nothing to do with console inputs, but everything with the TV and the glasses.
