I don't care if people think it is a gimmick or not, I have had a passion for 3D for the past 30 years now. I love it and see 3D movies every chance I get. I have been waiting a loooooong time for 3D gaming at home and I will snap it up as soon as it gets here.

I can't wear those...I already have to wear glasses. Thanks, Sony.

@Mister_Jack: Or maybe it's Nvidia I should be mad at. Point being, this "powered glasses" bullcrap is pretty much excluding every single gamer out there who already wears glasses. I'm not getting a migraine just to see fret notes pop out.

@Mister_Jack: While of course it would be a problem if they made a whole game system or game using mandatory 3D, it's silly to get so bent out of shape because you can't use an optional feature. The majority of people don't wear glasses, and most companies make products for the majority of possible customers.

@hurpdurp: Over 120 million people wear glasses in the US alone. Snubbing 120 million people doesn't sound like good business to me.

Hey! Shouldn't Tom Cruise be out promoting Valkyrie, and not playing GHIII at CES?

This has got to be the worst idea since the Virtual Boy. I wonder why....

@Crunch King: not quite, virtual boy sucked because it was in 3d and still sucked. the ps3 has a lot of promise and potential, so i dont think it'll kill the 3d thing.

For some reason, this whole 3-D gaming thing sorta screams "GIMMICK" to me...

@ReconToaster.: I believe there's a great amount of potential in 3D home entertainment to be honest. While something can be a "gimmick" or "novel," this does not mean it's wholly unneccessary or uninteresting for future use. Properly utilized, this enhancement could be a nice alternative. Something a television should have that can be activated at will. I've noted quite a few televisions throughout the years doing this but once you try one it actually is interesting. I would not have chosen, say, Guitary Hero, to make my demonstration but they tried to go with what their audiences would want to stop and play (ie interact with.)
Playing games in 3D like Dead Space or Resident Evil will surely make you crap your pants. Watching a movie that is action laced would be a bonus. These things accentuate the experience. And in some ways adding a 3rd dimenson to the visions on the screen can pull you deeper into the action.
Even if you are partial to watching "the Notebook."

@ApocalypseVII:

I can understand the desire for three dimensions. Give me a headset with screens at my peripheral vision. Give me games designed to allow me to see all around.

3D glasses is not the way to go. It just makes everything LOOK 3D, when really it's not.

@ReconToaster.: Exactly. Making true 3D games is impossible as of yet. Why? Because there is no method of interacting with the 3D space. All it can do it throw layered images at you, with no real method of interaction (because the screen is still flat, no way for the player to differentiate between the layers - making this entire thing a gimmick.

@bonghammer: We have a picture above our TV and if you play GH or RB for too long and then look at the picture it looks like it's moving backwards for some reason. I can't imagine what this would do.

@liquid_kore: from how you describe it, it sounds like you just have "guitar hero/rock band vision", as me and my friends describe it.

watching the notes coming down the highways for extended periods of time gets your eyes used to the idea of things moving down a vertical plane. So if you look away after a while of playing, stationary objects look like they're sliding around when they're not

@Sandbox_Emperor: crap, submitted by accident.

meant to finish thought;

I dont think it would be very different in 3D...maybe a bit more intense if anything.

Either way I'm curious to see how I would personally react to 3D-display games, as I have a bit of motion sickness issues that get the best of me at 3D movies sometimes

@TSlade: It's the main reason I can't play those games- the first (and only) time I played Guitar Hero, I set the controller down after about twenty minutes and the walls looked like they were melting upwards. I literally had to lay down for another twenty minutes or so before I could do anything else. I've never had a game affect me like that before.
