This is interesting provided that:

1- I don't get massive headaches after watching something like I would at an amusement park attraction(ex- Disney World)

2- My eyes don't feel like they've lost the ability to focus for a few days.

If the tech works like Sony is claiming it to be (constant 120 Hz), you will not have any of those problem. The lights you have in your house flickers all the time and it doesnt give you headache or eye focusing problems because you cant notice it. Its exactly the same thing for 3D using shutting glasses that each open and close at 60 times per second.

That all depends on the light :P

Sure but I guess you still get my point right?

I get it, but I'm still going to take the cautious approach.

Yeah we never know if they will really be able to run on a constant 120 Hz. For movies its sure, but for game we still dont know.

Yes, 3D >>>> Natal Imo. People underestimate the love for 3D.

Yeah after seeing avatar i must say that 3D is amazing. 

ye, i seen it. All the little flies etc were awesome. Now imagine gaming like that :)

 

yeah i actually thought  real flies were in front of my face. I can a imagine a first person shooter were bullets are literally shotting in 3D in front of you. wizzing by your eyes and stuff.

@ Kowen .....they would, but can the 360 do 3D atm? If not, wat im sayin is that i believe the sales boost the PS3 would get from being the only 3D games system would be bigger than the boost the 360 would get from Natal.

I feel like Im the 3D police on this forum...

1. There are many different types of 3D and neither PS3 or 360 can do the 120 hz field-sequential 3D. They can't output 120 hz refresh rate...CAN NOT!

2. Both support the 60 Hz checkerboard format that plasma and DLP TVs have been using for a few years now.

3. There are 3 games already available for all 3 systems. Avatar, Gforce and downloadable game. These games have native 3D support built in to the game using the checkerboard or anaglyph.

Sony is behind Mitsubishi and Samsung atleast 2 years in adopting 3D. Mitsubishi already has partnership with Nvidia and is oficially supported by the best 3D game drivers (Nvidia 3D vision) and samsung has plasmas that support 3D for sale.

Also, 3D TV has been announced by a lot of networks...ESPN being one of them. Their is supposed to start Summer 2010.

 

Im not raining on the Sony parade here...good for them for finallyg etting on the 3D bandwagon. But they have some serious work to do to be an industry leader at this point...

Finally? Uh they aren't announcing Sony finally getting involved in 3D. They are just announcing a new joint venture that Sony is a part of. BTW Sony is the only company that is involved in all aspects of the 3D bandwagon, which is manufacturing the hardware, producing the content, and providing the content. So to say THEY are the company that needs some serious work to be an industry leader is a little ignorant as they are one of, if not, the company that is putting the most eggs inside the 3D basket and has been doing so for some time now.

What are you talking about? Sony doesn't have a single 3D ready TV on the market. Nor have they published a single piece of software in 3D,

What content?

Sony has released ONE 3D movie in theaters...Polar Express. Other studios have 4-5 movies released in 3D.

The TV channel is everyone here is talking about is a Sony/Imax venture...called Discovery 3D, which is great...however I am willing to bet the content will not have anything to do with sony. Also, ESPN is delivering 3D sports channel summer 2010. We still don't have a release date for the sony Imax venture.

Sony is going to announce a 3D Tv at CES...you know it, I know it. and they will be 3 years late to the party.

Also its going to be hillarious seeing the playstation fans stand up and pretend sony is leading the industry when they announce that PS3 can play 3d blurays.

 

EDIT - As things stand now, 3D industry leaders are:

Nvidia - they've been making 3D game drivers since 1990s

Samsung - first 3D ready DLPs, plasmas and 120 hz LCD monitors on the market

National Geographic - has made dozens of 3D movies for Imax which are just itching to be brought to a home screen

Texas instruments - designed a DLP chip for TVs and projectors allowed for checkerbox 3D as of 2007, and it works a hell of a lot better than than 120 hz LCD monitors available right now.

Sony is broadcasting the World Cup this year in 3DTV, are the company most associated with 3D by many, are including in most 3D headlines, and have all the resources in place to aim high. They aren't leaders no, but to say that it will take them 3 years to get to where others are today is absolute BS.

Man you talk like you know everything. Sony is an official FIFA partner.

I don't know about the other crap like who is leading in the 3d TV industry and how many years some company did what.

That don't account for shit when the organisers of the biggest sporting event on the planet (some say bigger than the olympics but that is debatable)

choose sony.
