Crash TV Ep.22 - 3d Glasses???
When they cut to the girl from 1:18 - 1:25 Craig walks up to her as she's wearing those polarized glasses and asks her "who told you you can play with the special 3d?" Her response "This is the coolest thing ever." Then again at 3:19 the host (can't remember his name) says "Secret 'unannounced' pack" here response to potential fan reactions "Coolest thing ever!"
I know at CES in Las Vegas in mid January, Sony was touting their 3d gaming applications. Could this be coming soon? Am I going to have to buy yet a new tv again? This certainly seems like burnout is going 3d. Any thoughts?

Personally I hope it doesn't happen. I think 3D gaming is a gimmick that might be fun for 5 minutes, but I can't imagine playing for hours every evening in 3D??

Perhaps they were just
Perhaps they were just messing with anyone who was listening in? ;)
And I agree with ZombieTron... 3D is a gimmick. It sucks on movies and it will suck on games.
I say this because I wear glasses...need my glasses to find my glasses in the morning...and in the nearly 60 years they've been doing 3D on movies, they've yet to come up with 3D clip-ons for those who wear glasses (akin to sunglass clip-ons for prescription glasses)...bastages. hehe

A gimmick in movies,
A gimmick in movies, absolutely. But as far as gaming goes, I have fond memories of playing Rad Racer on my NES with my red and blue glasses. Are you saying you really didn't get excited the first time you saw that "head tracking" hack with the wiimote? I think 3d for games is a way different animal than the movies where they just spray blood and decapitated heads at the audience. And I'm sure if the adoption rate grows, someone's bound to release a clip-on style polarized glasses. The ones in theaters are just cheap throw away cheap paper products. For headmounted screens like those virtual reality gizmos, I would think no clip-on would be doable.

Philips is developing a 3D TV that does not require the use of glasses. Apparently their technology is well suited for PC games. You can read more about it here. This is probably not going to be the industry standard but at least some advances are being made.

Really? Now that sounds interesting. If they are going to try to make a push for it, it'd probably be the best way to go for accessibility's sake. Who knows...? If it's cheap enough to implement and can be ported across multiple platforms, it could become a standard...
