It's retarded that they're doing this now. I mean if 3d still gives you headaches and/or diziness w/glasses on, what gives. It's like Virtua Boy 2.0. WTF? It's just another marketing gimmick to get more money out of consumers. =( - BLUEBOY

Yeah, the new glasses are awesome(too bad you cant keep them!). I saw Ice Age 3 DOTD. Perfect colours and crisp image. even though it was animated it still looked stunning and real.

Here's the question i asked everybody: Did it cause headaches, motion sickness, vertigo? For what i heard, quite a few people it did, so if it didn't that's at least some progress for 3D, but when we don't need glasses for movie watching in the theatres, that's when I'll know that 3D is heading in the direction it's supposed to be heading: the right way. - BLUEBOY

i did and it seemed like there was a trade-off between kinda okay 3d effects and super-crisp hd glory. really, it seemed kinda blurry, more so in scenes with less 3d usage.

Well, I wear prescription glasses and I cannot view the current 3D movies. Putting them on over my glasses is uncomfortable and makes the movie impossible to watch. I have looked online for more expensive 3D glasses but have not found them.
Also, I know that they have switched colors in the glasses for more recent movies.
Great concept and I love that the PS3 will continue supporting new features via updates.
Whoops - spelling error!!

I'm sure they can update their firmware.
Are they saying we will have 3D with no glasses?

I too believe that most BD-Live enabled players will be able to get firmware upgrades. Some devices allow firmware upgrades via USB thumb drives. You download to thumb drive, then install via USB port on player.
I own a 1st edition 60GB PS3 and a current edition 250GB PS3, so I know I am happy with the firmware updates.
Holographic movies might be interesting!

No It didn't cause Vertigo,Headache,motion sickness or bleeding.
Movie was roughly hour and a half. no problems what so ever. only problem can be if your glasses are all scratched up.

You need to spend I little more time comprehending what you are reading!
QUOTE: "The spec also allows for backwards compatibility in future players and current players."
This means current players, you know the ones people already have, must be made compatable too!
Glad I didn't buy a PS3... They only need to be updated always but the updates are normally on the BD disc so no big deal I guess you just have to wait a bit longer for the update to apply. I'll take my YouTube/Netflix streaming players over the PS3 any day though.
Having 1080p delivered to each eye and having a 240Hz refresh rate TV or better should work very well but like others have mentioned do you still suffer from motion sickness and are people with Epilepsy prone to problems with this as well?

Not sure why you mention YouTube/Netflix streaming - like they are not supported on the PS3? My PS3 250GB streams both. My TiVo HD streams both, plus allows downloading and watching Amazon video on demand. My Xbox 360 streams Netflix and can be made to watch YouTube using your home network.
