I am looking to buy a 3DTV..

I own a 360 and was wondering if anyone knows if Microsoft are planning on supporting this?

I doubt it. I don't believe the 360 is even hardware capable of doing 3D.

Here's footage of Gears 2 in 3D: http://xbox360.ign.com/dor/objects/14232680/gears-of-war-2/videos/ces10ford_gears3d_010910.html

Apparently you don't need a PS3 to play 3D, you can buy HDTVs that convert the video signal into a 3D signal, but the technology is still developing, soI would wait a couple of years for 3DTV to develop more(and it will).

Not only does upscaling to 3D look bad, but its on a Samsung 3DTV which are the worst of the 3DTVs on the market. Panasonic has the best 3DTV withthe VT25 Plasma.

yes i saw the plasma panasonic.... was truly impressive imo....

when i talked to the sales rep about 360 compatability with 3d tvs, she mentioned that at the moment,only the samsung would be able to show a 3d image without the glasses but I have my reservations about the picture quality.

After doing more research I have decided to hold off for a while until I get a better feel for 360 support of 3dtvs, it doesnt look to promising in the near future i.e 6 months to a year....for me cost is no objective and so will be able to get the top of the line screen when thesupport is there
