this is why the PS3 is the best blu-ray player to get. when they come out with a new feature for blu-ray they always update it unlike other blu-ray players where you will have to get a newer one to take advantage of the newer features.

Who needs a holodeck (let alone 3D TV)... There's several companies working on brain implants that can read your mind. It's not a great step to put information *in* rather than taking it out...

This is old tech. I still have the 3D glasses for my OLD Sega Master System. They were the shutter type and worked pretty well.

That's what I was thinking too.

Dunno why you got marked down. Maybe the thumbs down nazis are active again.

Lol ya right. I don't see everyone at home watching TV in 3D with those stupid glasses on. It took grandma long enough to go over to DTV but really even more trendy younger people wouldn't be buying 3D, not for a while.

Japan is trying so hard to bring these new technologies to fruition -- 3D, motion-sensing, robots (etc.). Secretly though, you know the scientists behind the push are really doing it to make VR porn for themselves. Why else would they make all thier newest robotic advances into the forms of beautiful women? To take home and violate as they please, without consequences, and without having to put effort towards attracting a human female (to do the same things with). Yep, a dream of mine ...uhhh ...thiers, I mean. ;)

Damn Sony, you just had to make me feel worse about saving money on a 60Hz TV earlier this year. I can see how the PS3's Nvidia graphics chip can make this possible but I'm interested how they will pull it off for all blu-ray players. Hopefully Sony's new tech will be compatible with most displays like Nvidia's so we don't need an overpriced Bravia to use it.

Nothing new if all they are going to do is use glasses. I bought my NVidia GeForce 256 just over 10 years ago (the first GPU!) and it came with 3d shutter glasses.

It wasn't that great, but it was 3d.

I see what's really going on... They just wanna sale you the same movie twice. One in standard, one in 3D, and same for Blu-Ray.

Well,there may be another way: shutting your eyelids alternatively. If you are really-really fast (like 60 HZ / eye fast) you could achieve 3D vision without the gasses. And if you do it on a daily basis, it will become second nature. :p

Can't do it? Get a personal trainer.

@ All serious types in here - sry just couldn't help myself. xD

I just started looking in to all this 3d stuff, and i really think that the shutter glasses, is a way to go, even though they are bulkier then polarized glasses, because i think it might be possible to make that work with all the modern tvs on the market it only has to be 120hz, and keep in mind that sony seems to get some things right, like blue ray format.

I have Sony Glasstron Glasses, used it on Play Station one Agile Warrior F-111X, Got Air-sick in about 25 minutes. Sony quit making the glasses. With those glasses on, it was like looking at a 60" screen. Olimpus use to made a model called Eye-trek. They allowed nobody under 16 to use them, and they shut down after a hour! Effect very, very real.
