The glasses are still the real drawback and I can see that this will be the reason it might still not take off. I did go to a convention (a few years back) and they had TVs with special grills in them so that it actually 3Ds it for you - NO GLASSES. It was incredible as you would just walk past and suddenly see a 3D can of coke spinning. <br><br>Of course you still need to be at 15 degree angles to see it, and you need to be able to see from both eyes. Might be the future though.... I still haven't seen this in 3D but have heard the same thing about it's really the depth that is impressive.

Of course you still need to be at 15 degree angles to see it, and you need to be able to see from both eyes. Might be the future though….

I've never found the format comfortable to watch – it sends my eyes into a painful spasm and I can't focus on anything. Bearing in mind that I haven't seen any of the newer stuff, I don't know if this will still be the same.

I almost feel as if this is an advance in technology for the sake of an advance. Rather than make us all wear glasses, wouldn't it be easier to have some kind of screen in front of the cinema screen that provides the glasses functionality?

I must get modern warfare sometime, i dont often have the spare cash to spend on games but trying to avoid all my games being FPS! :)

I hear that Nintendo are bringing out a new portable with 3D but not using glasses, will be interesting.

I've kinda with you on the whole glasses issue though. MrsC found them very uncomfortable over normal glasses and I dislike having my peripheral vision destroyed by big blocky frames at the best of times.

Must admit I'm still not convinced on 3D television – yet but for some movies it will really enhance the picture.

Me – well I'm just waiting for 3D first person shooters. Modern Warfare in 3D – yes please.
