Yeah I don't want to wear those glasses either.  It's going to be a long time before I get a 3d tv because I'm waiting until they are affordable and they can replicate the 3d effect without the use of glasses like nintendo is saying the 3ds can do.

I will never buy a 3D TV, at least not until a few years down the road when the price goes drastically down and they find a way to enable 3D without the glasses. I just bought my own HDTV for gods sake! Sony must be crazy if they think I, or any other self respecting person will run out and spend $2000 on ANOTHER TV when HDTV is just starting to penetrate the mainstream.

You just KNOW as soon as you buy a 3DTV, they will start coming out with "new and improved 3D", without the use of glasses, or better clarity or something.

Every company is out to get your money, but Sony seems to be the most guilty of this. They were after all, the same company that believed its brand name was so strong that people would spend $600 on a PS3, and with no games on it and tried to push Blu ray on people that didn't necessarilly want it.

I could barely justify a $220 used PS3.. To think that some people actually spent $600 on a PS3, not to mention the costs of an HDTV, makes me sick to my stomach.

You could just not buy a 3D TV and wait for a real solution to come to the market in a few years.

I just bought a really nice 46" TV. I'm not planning on buying another one until 3D TV using the passive glass system or glassless are available.

People are never gonna let that go are they?

As for this thread...I lol'd

...and for the record, if Sony does come out with some tagline claiming that the only way to get the "Real PS3  experience" is to buy their 3DTVs, I'm selling mine.

No the same doesn't apply to SONY, the terms and conditions for it to apply to them are different!

New technology sucks and every improvement is trying to steal my money. I prefer the old days when men were hunters and women were gatherers! Man, we you used to live right back then, to a ripe old age of 19 or 21. I am thinking about joining the Amish as technology is scary!

Double Standard...

Now, don't get me wrong, the THEORY of 3D gaming is cool(if a bit gimmicky). However, this is a case of when the theory of something being cool has outstripped the technology. Sony is using the theory of "starving the beast" in that, if you present the product, the non-existant market will form around it. Just put it out there, and figure out how to make it work after you've developed it.

It's good that they are trying to be innovators and leaders, but it's bad that they don't know how to properly impliment anything, it seems, and apparently they rely on simple luck and hope when it comes to their vastly expensive technologies and their sales potential. This just isn't going to be significant, there isn't a large enough gaming market with 3D capable sets, and so if they FOCUS on 3D, they will alienate a large portion of their audience.

Now, with the 3DS....lol, Nintendo knows how to sell a gimmick guys. They are gonna totally turn this 3D thing into a vastly profitable venture with their handheld, and Sony simply won't be able to make much money off of it at all, despite being one of the first companies to see its potential.

Basically, Sony sees the potential in 3D and sells it to the consumer base. Nintendo comes in and makes billions and billions of dollars off of it with its superior but much more simplistic technology, while Sony probably loses money over the whole debacle for the first several years, perfects their advanced technology, which every other manufacturer will probably beat them to the market with anyway. That's my prediction.

Sony has management. Normal management. Nintendo has godlike management and business sense, and it is very hard to compete with them.
