198w ago - It appears the PlayStation company is putting its electronics might behind 3D television technology, with the company expected to start selling fancy three-dimensional displays next year--with 3D PlayStation 3 games being readied to capitalize on the technology.
To quote: According to the
Financial Times, Sony boss man
Sir Howard Stringer will be announcing the company's plans to invest in 3D LCD TVs at the IFA show in Berlin.
And he'll also be announcing Sony laptop computers, PlayStation 3 games and Blu-ray players that will be compatible with the technology.
With the PS3 already capable of playing 4D games, according to former PlayStation exec
Ken Kutaragi, one has to wonder "Why the step back?"
This may come in handy with fat models, the stress machine.
But the slim models with the beast fan dont need it. lol or can be a jet in a slim!!!...
They sounded amazed by how good that experience was. The game uses a stereoscopic 3D effect.Of course you need a special TV for that. After playing they had no headache, no tearings, no flickering nothing. Developers said more 3D capable TVs etc will come end of the year (at least in the US).
Imagine you get into an RDA Helicopter in the game and it hovers some centimeters/inches BEFORE the TV/Monitor.Thats how they described it... and they sounded really amazed because it looks like they didnt expected it to be that good. So i would say its a good course to run with that technology...prices will drop like with any other new hardware over the course of time.
It looks sort of like these old 3D LCD glasses which I played Duke Nukem with back in the day. I always liked it, but it eventually failed because no games supported it.
With a company like Sony taking it on, maybe they can enforce mandatory 3D support.
I'd buy a set for my PS3 assuming there's a way for it to work with my projector.
