While it could be more immersing to have a game in 3D, I can't stand going to 3D movies. They can be fun but they mostly give me a headache.

Gaming in 3D as Sony is talking about isn't going to entice me to get a PS3, I am hoping this doesn't start a trend.

Hey, the Virtual Boy did it and that was a screaming success, so why not the PS3?

Very nice that they realize what advantages they have so they can build off that like the upcoming one to one motion stick or whatever.

I see it being a a gimmick more than anything for this generation of consoles; the developers whine about the ps3 being hard to program for as it is I can't see them taking it upon them selves to start doing any full games in 3d.

Also does this have to be used with those 3d tv's? Or is this the old school type of 3d?

^^^ i dont think that it will require to change your tv to play a game.
I think they will start with the old way for ps3, and if there will be a ps4 they will go for the new way.

am sorry but 3D as implemented is a joke is not more than moving 3D foil images and twice as headache inducing, nothing short of holographic 3D will suffice and they do not want to invest in that but good lord they want to bring back 3D and then make you rent the fcking glasses.....

And I still don't have one. ;-)

But suffice to say this has been tried before rather unsuccessfully. This time may be different, but I doubt it.
