If you ponied up for a 3D-enabled TV because you want to take advantage of 3D-enabled games, you need to make sure you have an HDMI-enabled console to go with that.

Ubisoft reminds us that James Cameron's Avatar: The Video Game will need 1080p resolution from an HDMI cable if you're grabbing up that game with the expectation of having your mind blown. So if you're an early adopter of technology, and that early adopted technology includes the Xbox 360, you're SOL. You'll be experiencing normal video game graphics like the rest of us.

I realize, of the potential population to be disappointed by this realization, I've described maybe 12 people. But it is a useful caution to keep checking the console requirements, as technology gets more sophisticated.

3D TV Doesn't Guarantee a 3D Avatar, Says Ubisoft [UGO Games Blog]

Yeah, not a problem when there are no working launch boxes.

Even though it is a movie tie in game, I am excited about the 3-D aspect possibilities.

hey I'm one of those 12 people.....and i dont have a 1080p tv anyway let alone a 3d tv....

then again I have a ps3...but taht doesnt matter..

Same here..My TV is not 1080p....But I don't care.....My Xbox seems to go to 1080p...and I'm not buying This Halo game anyway...
