Also the cost is not £2,000 or anywhere near it. I still use a 22" CRT for my sustem (I didn't upgrade to LCD precisely so I keep geting good stereoscopic 3D vision - though with latest LCDs refresh rate is not longer a problem and I can probably upgrade now). Back in the old days (2001) it cost me about $200 to buy a pair of edimensional glasses and import them to Australia that plus the cost of my geforece 3 and I had 3D stero vision.

Nvidia cut support for edimensinal glasses in their drivers and forced me to pay $200 for their own solution plus another $150 or so to import the glasses to Australia (the bastrards) but sill a mere $300 latter and I had 3D gaming again. A far cry from £2,000.

In the US you could get nvidia 3D glasses plus suitable LCD computer monitor for $600 last I checked.
Plus of couse the cost of the card but you'd be buying that anyone.

100% of games (well mabe 99%) are already playable in 3D now and its been that way for nearly a decade at least.

I first started playing games in 3D (as in with stereoscopic vision - different picture to each eye) ever since I got my geforce 3 in 2001. Not just especially made titles but pretty much every titile out there. (Only rare exceptions were not 3D).

Here I am still playing games in 3D on my 9800GTX nearly tens years later. I don't know what all the fuss is about.

Widespread 3D TV is new but 3D computer gaming is ancient and has been available to anyone who could be bothered to find it for a decade at least.

Spych(I shudder at the phonetic spelling my mind automatically gave that name) is right, we ALREADY have 3d games. My Runescape game is in glorious pixelated 3d(I'm kinda poor when it comes to upgrading) and has been for over a year and probably even before I started playing.

It's the displaying of 3d that's the whole problem, that's where the paycheck becomes a problem.

I call bs. Most games have been rendered in 3D for years now. There just hasn't been a good way to display them. Yes, the displays are getting better and as they do you'll see it more, but 2 years? The HDTV transition is still going on, and you think people are going to just up and move to 3D right away? Maybe for the PC gamer, but I doubt the console gamer will want to buy another 40+ inch tv.

Display technology has gotten better now, but it still leaves much to be desired. Competitive gamers still use CRT displays because they're faster than LCDs. I don't see games being displayed in 3D for quite a while yet, at least until display technology catches up more.

Aren't most games already rendered in 3D? Maybe people should start using a more specific term, like stereoscopic, to describe video with separate views for each eye?
