because xbox360 can play game in 3D also

you just need a 3D TV that can convert 2D to 3D

COD BO will be 3D ready for both ps3 and xbox360

Not saying it will work... just putting it out there. It has long ways to go before it does it well.

Home copnsole 3D as a whole is not overrated. It really does add something to the game. And it will be awesopme with BO on both platforms :) .

its just that SONY is the one pushing it and the PS3 is providing it. No one said 360 couldnt do 3D, its just more of a PS3 thing since thats all we hear about

I find so yes.
any form of Pseudo 3d is overated and worthless to me, I think of Pseudo 3d as a gimmick and a gimmick only. So yes Any form of pseudo 3d is overated including ps3's capability.

Those TVs can turn any game, TV show, or movie into 3D. The 360 has nothing to do with it. :|

I knew HDMI 1.4 was required for a 3D output, but I thought both the 360 and PS3 could simply update firmware to enable compatability. If that is not the case, is the 360 still stuck on HDMI 1.2b?

Agreed. Besides, I only have vision in my left eye so I can't see 3D anyway.

the 360 does have something to do its playing the game but i would like to know how its possible because i would think that just converting 2d to 3d from a tv might lower the quality but from the ign preview if cod bo in 3d the guy said it looked great and it looked the same as the demos for ps3 and pc

So it's overrated because your physically unable to experience it?

That's like being impotent and telling us that sex is overrated.

Why overrated?? If it works, it's not.

You probably meant the PS3 capabilities as you're pointing out how the 360 could also display 3D graphs.

I feel the same way, but many seem to like the idea so who am I to judge? I just hope it doesn't effect the overall quality of games I enjoy as a result of working on 3D. I know I'll be turning off the 3D effect on my future 3DS as well - I've heard concerns regarding eye sight when viewing 3D over a long period of time. I don't know if there is any truth behind that, but I'm not going to risk it on something I find distracting & don't really enjoy anyway.

right now it's way too gimmicky IMO, seems to be playing off all the Avatar 3D stir that's going out of fashion, plus 3D HDTVs are way to pricey, until you can get a 1080p 32 inch 3D HDTV from Samsung for like $500 then I don't really see it taking off I'm guessing it could be cool if done right, most people's homes I go to people sit too for back from TV for optimal 3D effects, me (even without 3D), I sit close, my apartment sofa is like the optimal distance from the TV and surround sound speakers, it's all designed for the experience of the gamer, most gamers I know and homes themselves I've never seen people adjust their living space for their entertainment optimization, so yes in a way it's overrated but in coming years it may prove to be better when it's more economic for everyone... though I can see it being hard on the eyes, I mean the occasional pricey 3D movie is one thing but entertaining yourself day-in day-out might do something to us

That's why I'm not impressed with the 3DS... it doesn't really bring anything notable to the table aside from new hardware and 3D. Which is funny because the sheep like to come out and tout how Nintendo is so innovative and how the PSP2 will fail before anyone knows anything about it.

This isn't much of a problem if Sony isn't delivering impressive/smooth 720p 3D with their studios. Most console 3D games will cutback on resolution, geometry, or do cheaper 2D + depth. It's only an issue when it comes to 3D games in HD. 360 would then have to support a HD res compliant with 1.4. They can't do 720p like the PS3, but they could go higher. Only problem is were talking about HW from 2006. Its a pipe dream.

Well, Batman AA GOTY can display 3D on both PS3 and 360. But it's not the same as the 3D we are talking about. Crysis 2 and COD BO will be in 3D for all platforms excluding Wii. :P I'd prefer playing 3D games on 46''+ LED 3DTV in glorious 720p - 1080p instead of the small 3DS screen with around 480p res.

Quality of 3D varies, even Treyarch said PS3 is really good at communicating with 3DTV.
