Ive played avatar on the 360 in 3D. Looks as good as the PC version...

So if a game is optimized for 3D from the get-go...3D can be done on xbox with ease. For older games however...not likely.

How does that work on the X360? What glasses u wear, and what Hz does it demand from your TV-screen?

The TV - http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/item/about/458892796/samsung-hl67a750  (120 hz, 3D ready)

The glasses I bought - http://www.i-glassesstore.com/dlp3d-bundl-adv.html (this will work with many other ones)

How it works:

Step 1 -Game has native 3D mode. So options > 3D On. Turn this on

Step 2 - plug the base that came in to the glasses in to the 3 pin Vesa port on the back of the TV. This controlls the shutter of the glasses

Step 3 - on the TV remote push menu > 3D on. This makes the TV show the checkerboard pattern to the eye whcih, using the glasses, creates the exact same 3D that everyone is going nuts at when watching Avatar or looking at 2010 CES TVs.

 

 

 

Wow those glasses look really funny. But what, you have these glasses for the X360 and then you also got a pair of Nvidia glasses for Nvidia 3-D on the PC?

Is there a difference in quality? I mean, how good/bad is the 3D you've tried on the X360 compared to Nvidia's 3D on PC?

Yeah glasses do look funny and I have both, 3D vision and this. I bought 3D vision but there are 2 other 3D providers on the computer, both of which need those glasses. SO I bought this as well... helps when a freind os over and you both want to watch 3D movie clip or something...

And what are those providers?

IZ3D - http://www.iz3d.com/

Tridef - http://www.ddd.com/

IZ3D uses their own monitors and glasses but they offer free 3D drivers to ATI customers using DLP TVs. Nvidia people have to pay 50 bucks. Their is not as good as 3D vision.

Tridef offer specific DLP drivers as well as 2d to 3D conversion. Their drivers are as good as Nvidia 3D vision and offer much more flexibility. They don't make their own cool glasses though... The nvidia glasses are much more confortable that the generic ones I have.

This!

 

This gen is becoming stale quickly, all we hear is

 

  • 360 is maxed out

 

  • PS3 will pass it in sales

 

  • PS3 has no good games

 

  • Nintendo needs Wii HD.


*Remember when the world was supposed to end on May 21st, 2011? Well click here to see our short parody video of it [not]ending*

I wouldn't mind a new generation rather soon, this has been the most drab one I can remember (and I've been at it since 1987).
I hope we'll see some new consoles by the end of 2012, which is kind of likely at any rate.

Thanks. How can I know which games these two companies support? Not that I dare investing in them since they could be gone and bankrupt before you know it.

Btw, has u played Oblivion with ur Nvidia 3D vision?

Tridef - http://www.tridef.com/ignition/3d-games.html

I have not played oblivion no...

Out of the games I played - Resident Evil 5, Devil May cry 4, Gears of War and Batman Arkham Assylum looked flawless in 3D.

Other games look good but there are minor faults...like shadow issues and 2D elements.

Then there is Street fighter 4... you want proof that is still a 2D game, play it in 3D. I jus doesn't work...lol.

Xbox and Playstation I could see going until 2015 with nothing but maybe a couple re-designs. The Wii however will need one even if its just HD and a minor power upgrade.
