They used "stereoscopic" and "3D" in the same sentence. They must know these are mutually exclusive concepts, so it's not a case of "it's stereoscopic, but we're calling it 3D because we know the majority of people are too dumb to know what stereoscopy is".

They're just doing it to annoy me now, aren't they? They are, I know it.

I want 3D for single player, because I think it will be more immersive.
I don't for multiplayer, it will be harder to spot targets.

While I'm not against 3D in computer games (even if I think the techs still a little too young for it at the moment) I do think that both Sony and Microsoft need to focus more and creating a new console than upgrading to 3D for the moment. The 360 and PS3 are using tech thats at least 6-7 years old right now... Which I think is probably holding back consoles and I think we're starting to reach our limit with what can be done with them. Need to be thinking about the next gen.

Not interested in 3D on xbox at all. I mean how many people even have 3D TVs to take advantage of this?

I really hope Microsoft doesn't waste money on this, and I really hope the don't release a new model like they did last year. I haven't even got that one yet -_-
Plus, how many people honestly have 3D tv's? I don't really think they've caught on yet. I hope this 3D phase starts to fade away. Yes, it was cool at first, and it's kind of cool now, but it's gotten old now. However I would gladly take a 360 with 3D capabilities over a new console any day. I'd like the current generation last a bit longer.

enough with 3d. 3d is not that great. i dare to call it a gimmick. come back when you can make game using holograms because that is the only form of 3d that remotely interests me. that goes for any one who wants to use 3d in games

More Fluff.. 3D is not worth the Dev dollars for games at this point imo.. And theres no movie including avatar that would make me believe so . This is however a great opportunity to grab some more money from the Xbox installbase

Microsoft laughably claimed in the past that the Xbox already did proper 3d (of course nobody in the media would dare point out the falsehood of this, as magically advertising dollars dry up if anyone would dare criticise anything Xbox). They also know that Xbox consumers were too stupid to question anything, and just blindly believe everything Microsoft feed them.

http://www.mcvuk.com/news/37115/Xbox-360-is-fully-3D-capable

Secondly, this is only really partial catchup with the PS3, as clearly the Xbox still won?t do Blu-Ray, nor 3D Blu-Ray.

The reality is, Microsoft know their potential ?new? user-base has all but dried up, and is basically relying on feeding the channel with incremental hardware upgrades that force Xbox owners to continally upgrade.

In all the time I have owned my lauch 60GB PS3, that?s always been bang upto date, poor Xbox owners have had to rebuy the following upgrades to stay current, and even then, they still don?t have Blu-Ray (perhaps next year ? eh Microsoft?)

1st upgrade HDMI
2nd upgrade Sled HDD upgrade
3rd upgrade Working system
4th upgrade slim
5th upgrade 3D (games only)
6th upgrade Blu-Ray???? (== PS3)

Perhaps by the 6th revision, they MAY have caught up to the spec of my 2006 PS3.
A 2006 model 60gb was not shipped with 3D. Add to that the tons firmware updates that PS3's have been through in the past 5 years.

Now before you rant. I own both a 360 and a PS3. And a gaming PC whilst I'm at it.

Each console has it's own advantages and being a blatant fanboy about one is no better than being a fanboy about the other.

Blue ray is a nice addition I'll grant you. But it's not a necessity for a gaming console.
I'm not saying either are better, don't care.

And yeah, Blu-Ray isn't a necessity.

But to defend Blu-Ray for gaming, is that it holds more. Wich is very handy. Take FF13, 1 disc on PS3, 2(3?) discs on X-Box.

Needing to stop a game and insert another disc is deffinately damaging for immersion.

Flat screen TVs last literally forever, why would I want to buy another more expensive one?

I couldnt care less about 3D how about a new 360 with power to match the PS3 and BluRay now that Id might buy.

I prefer the 360 to the ps3 but its showing its age it doesnt need to be a next gen upgrade just some minor improvements should be considering its age.

I don't like 3D as it just makes me violently throw my intestines out my mouth. I don't know how they are going to do personally, I mean Nintendo did it with the 3DS because it's a small screen but for a console...(Silly glasses :/ )

I feel it's just jumping on a band wagon not long after the 3DS

I'm confused... Didn't xbox360 have stereoscopic 3d for over a year? Even crysis is in 3D... I had to check the date on this article but I'm really confused now and would appreciate if someone could enlighten me please...

HOLY DAMN, I mean HOLY *no idea what kind of curse to use here*! 3D on your 360 all we need is a new piece of hardware to attach to the bunch of all ready made useless crap the 360 has! HOLY CHRIST! This has to be the greatest idea since... SOMETHING EPIC! HALLELUJAH! Nothing can get any better than thi- Ok that went on for too long -facedesk-

Really? I mean why bring 3d onto a console when 3d in itself is such a useless gimmick? Are they going to tell 360 users that they have to pay another 120 for 3D? I have a 360 and no I didn't buy the crap that was kinect. Is it just me or is 3D annoying? Imagine you're in a game and things just start "flying" toward you. yes I said "flying" with quotations in the sense of clash of the titans 3D. It gets pretty annoying having to see a screen dark red and blue while you can't make out objects on screen. Anyone else thinking like me?

Not proper 3D. Only PS3 does that.

The PS3 only does 3D movies and Blu-Ray too.

That's why La Noire comes on 1 Blu-Ray for PS3, and 3x DVD for the Xbox, and the Xbox has lower textures and less missions. It's now effictively a end-of-life console that's being left behind.

Well... I've got to say that on your reply I only see fan boy rambling...

1) What is proper 3D? You fail to describe what you understand as "proper" and why only ps3 has it...
2) La Noire does indeed come in 3 disks instead of one. I fail to see where that's such a big deals and fail even harder to understand how does that relate to 3D...
3) Yes, LA Noire has lower gaphical quality on the xbox360. It has some frame rate issues and some textures are in lower resolution (to compensate for even worse frame lag I suppose). But again I fail to understand how does that impact 3D in any way...

Also (and this is the important part) Black Ops, Modern Warfare, Assasins Creed (1 and 2), Need for Speed Pro Street, GTA IV, Red Dead Redemption, Bayonetta, amongst many (many) others have worse graphics on PS3 then XBOX360... Does that mean that the PS3 is also close to the end of it's life cycle?

I asked a question out of curiosity and not out of fanboyism... If you take time to reply I would appreciate if you would answer my question and avoid embarrassing yourself with your half-baked fanboy attitude... Which doesn't mean you can't be annoying like you just were... I'm just saying I'd appreciate if you could be informative while you're at it...

Maybe one day you fanboys can learn how to behave or something...
