"3D" sells.. it's like HD

When HD was the craze, I saw and ad for "HD Eyeglasses"!!!!
 
[citation][nom]Gellert[/nom]All i'm wondering is how can the PS3 support 3D??? I heard that it needs a HDMI 1.4 cable for all the info to go thru at 1080p. Could this mean that only games running 720p will work with 3D but not 1080p blu-ray movies?[/citation]

Nearly every game made for both the PS3 and 360 are made to tun at 720p.

The PS3's performance will tank in 3D mode. It has what a 4/5 year GPU in it!

Unless it's only used in Blu-Ray movies... And here we go, Sony forgeting once again that the PS3 should be a gaming machine.[/citation]

No it will run just fine, 3d isn't doubling the Polys or anything, it's just sending two images slightly out of phase with eachother. The big thing here is getting a screen that officially supports this.

 
[citation][nom]vertigo_2000[/nom]I assume the glasses would be bluetooth and would work wirelessly. USB ports would only be used for charging.[/citation]
It was just a selling gimmick that you needed HDMI 1.4 to get 3D. 3D works perfect through any HDMI 1.3 cable. there was a lawsuit filed that stopped the 1.4 from even being able to be printed on the package. instead they have to put the cables bandwith. so you will see 10.4 Gig instead.
