3 reasons why to NOT buy a new 3DTV for gaming.

Was not trying to put words in your mouth.  Just saying that this was not a big deal as far as CONSOLES are concerned, but it is for those of us (Diso and myself) who would use it coming from a PC. 

I've been thinking...and this 720p only for these 3D TVs may be a blessing in disguise, if you want 3D surround vision.

Once they enable PC Nvidia 3D vision support (they better!) imagine doing this with three 3D TVs -

He is running GTX480 SLI (most powerful GPU which can do 3D vision) and switches to 3D at 1:30 and you can see it getting choppy while playing Crysis.

However, if you are running 3 X 720p on the new 3D TVs it shouldn't be chuggy at all...ZOMG!

But then again, still doesn't make sense as 720p 3d projectors are 700 bucks each and work amazing with 3D vision surround if you have the space on the wall for them.

Exactly what I was getting at (the bolded).

Say they did leave 1080p 3D as a usuable format.  People would always say "You should have gone higher, this isnt as good as it could be"  Sorta like some do now at lower than 1080p HD resolution (or some of those games UNDER 720p which is absolutely RIDICULOUS)  btw this is for consoles only.

This gives the devs more leeway for awesomeness (such as your example with Crysis 1080p vs 720p).  Id rather have more detail, colors and have it RUN SMOOTHER, etc at 720 in 3D than less but able to get 1080 worth of resolution (which you know some would try to push)
