Whenever I read the posts in a thread discussing stereoscopic 3D technology/games, there are many posters (at least 1 in 3) who claim that either they do not care whatsoever, or that they care less for it than for a second analog control for a PSP2 for example.

This puzzles me greatly because there is nothing more rewarding than stereoscopic vision. We are using this trick every day of our lives (if we can). Artists and architects and eventually motion picture and game creators are trying to transmit this feeling of stereoscopic vision as good as they can through a painting/picture or a series of pictures quickly following each other to create a moving picture. It never is right though, there are always new ways to improve on this imperfect perception of 3D through 2D.

Now we have the stereoscopic 3D technology that will transform the flat surface of a screen into a MUCH better illusion of a window into another world, and people don't care? 

Why is that? 

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I think it cost too mich

I only have one eye.

i warned you about becoming a pirate.. but you just wouldn't listen...

it costs more, many people can't perceive it,lowers game performance as it requires frames to be drawn twice, it gives many people headaches, nausea, eye strain etc and it doesn't actually add a whole lot to the experience anyway. 

There enough reasons for you?

But most games aren't worth paying for these days something something piracy is actually good for the industry don't you judge me!

Well... look at me! this happens when you pirate too much:

I used to be an awesome pirate in the 90's.. but in the end..

so people should be hyped about 3D now because it will be cheaper in the future? odd reasoning

so you think the ~12% of people should be hyped for tech that they can't use?

yes but that is more expensive which is a major issue, additionally the glasses are an issue I forgot none wants to ware dorky/expensive (if you go designer) glasses while sitting on the couch especially with a bunch of mates/ the girl friend and all the people do need the glasses or it looks blurred, plus the glasses darken the image.

yes there is a difference but it's not really that huge (yes I have seen avatar in 3D and I can see stereo 3D) it adds an extra layer of depth but if it's done right and not just for a gimmick you stop noticing it, unless the movie/game is so boring that you are focusing on how prominent the 3D effect is. Maybe in the future there will be content that is heaps better in 3D than 2D but so far I haven't seen it and I am not investing $1000s on something that may happen. That said I am going to be getting a 3DS and will probably use the 3D, unless it hurts my eyes after extended periods like avatar did then I will turn it off.
