Batman Arkham Asylum to come out with 3d that works on any television.

Sony comes out with a 3d capable television.

Why exactly is the television needed?

I guess... the developers came back and had to alter to game so you could play it in 3D. A 3D TV automatically lets you view all content in 3D regardless of whether the movie/game supports it?

I can believe that. Considering Sony HDTV's are where the Wii actually looks better than an SD TV.

It's true. Sony makes high quality products. I'm not saying their products are all so much better than everyone else's, but compared to most other companies, their products are better.

Batman AA's 3D mode uses old-school red and blue glasses. The TV will have the image for the left eye in one color, and the image for the right eye in the other color.

3D TV's work by quickly alternating between the left eye/right eye images at a rate of around 240 times a second. The TV's come with special shutter glasses that are synchronized with the TV, and will close either the left or right eye so that each only sees its intended image.

3D at a theatre every now and again is ok, but constantly watching 3D is no good for you as it effects your depth perception. Also After watching Avatar in 3D im over the whole 3D thing

They are made by Sony and thus charge a premium of >$500 for the same product that you can get from a competitor brand

That may apply to televisions but certainly not to the PlayStation and the PlayStation 2.

That movie annoyed me. I watched it in 3D at IMAX and then just normally at IMAX and there is a massive amount of detail (picture quality wise) you miss out on because your focusing on the 3D which becomes "meh" after 20 mins in

put simpy, some companies are going for tech that turns any signal into an 3d output, Sony for one is going for a true stereoscopic 3d signal from source to output. which is like an upscaled dvd compared to blu ray in quality

I actually have no problem with motion controls as long as it doesn't become the only way of gaming. I feel like the PC will be a good shield against that. I should've been more specific and said the movie industry though. That's still saying a lot. The movie industry has come up with a lot of crappy ideas to gain audience interest.

actually toshiba with their new regza are tied with sharp because of their brilliant colours and the ability to not change colour or shade when you look at the tv from an odd angle. sony was almost never number because of sharp's dominance.

Im always glad to see new cool tech come out but damn i just bought a new 42 inch 1080p sony not even a month ago,now im gonna have to go out and get a 3d tv?It all seems cool but shouldnt they wait til hd becomes the standard before throwing a 3d tv at us.At this point im sure a lot of people have hd televisions but are they ready to go out and pay big bucks for another tv with 3d.Like i said i love new technology and i always want the latest and greatest its just i wish they would wait a while before throwing a new tv on the market.

There is a difference in how each technology "fools" the brain into thinking the image being viewed is in 3 dimmensions.

Active shutter technology allows the 3D image to be in much higher resolutions than anaglyph 3D.

With active shutter, seperate images for each eye is displayed in full 1080p.

With anaglyph 3D there are two images (red & green) taken at slightly different angles.
