Does this sound like Sony is saying bend over and take 3D like it or not? To me it does but I am guessing it can be taken in a lot of ways. The last sentence in that paragraph is what has me asking that question. Would love opinions on it. "It also goes back to the promise that [SCEA CEO] Jack [Tretton] made a few years ago about a future proof box, and the fact that 3D TVs are taking hold globally, not just from Sony, but from other manufacturers, and here we are sitting here basically saying, 'I told you so.' You know, a quick software update and now your PS3 can play movies in 3D and you can experience games in 3D. So, it's a distinct strategy that we've chosen to take to be on the bleeding edge and drive the market into these new experiences. So we're not worried about quick adoption rate. We're driving people to adopt period."

Basically, he's just saying that they're putting the tech out there in a way that will make it hard to pass up. He's assuming that once we get a look at it it'll be hard to refuse. He's probably right, too. As bad a game as Avatar was it was SOOOOO amazing to play in 3D.

Me I would so i pray it is always an option. I mean 3D gaming is nice but till I can grab a 3D tv for about the price of my recent bought HD tv im not sure ill be on the band wagon. And the amount spent on it was about $600 for a 120 Hz 32 inch full 1080p tv with 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio and 4ms responce time i think it was a sweet deal. And do not want to have to dump out more cash so fast for yet another TV.

Yeah, a lot of people have yet to get one. I'm sure it will stay completely optional. It'd be a bad bad move on Sony's part if they didn't.

I do like the idea of 3D games but also feel thay wont be as big of hit as some people think. I do give props to sony for being the first ones to bring this idea forth in the consol area but I just dont think it will make a big hit as some would think. It goes along with motion controls in my oppinion. I just pray split screen coop never dies since I never do online thing with my system. I like split screen side by side play not just for the entertainment but honestly no better way to enjoy a victory than being inches from your opponets facing trash talking. Till said person kicks you in the crotch then well all hits the fan and it turns into a real fight night lol.
