Next year promises to be the year when 3-D pics go through the roof, the format battle between HD DVD and Blu-ray will be decided and Sony's PlayStation 3 will hit back against the successful Nintendo Wii and Microsoft Xbox 360, according to a report by U.K.-based media research firm Screen Digest.

yes finally i am going to play my going in 3d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i am going get rid of my 40 inch tv when it comes out and ask for 3D goggles as a late christmas present

[xboxdread]

you are silly because that ain't happenin the playstation can't even 2d games without a lag how do you expect it play true 3d games you have a very weird logic

[pschampion]

hey xbot get over it we, the playstation legion, are going to play games in 3d while you poor bastards will have to continue playing the old way and waiting for your xbox 630 to come so you can have this feature and the most likely it will not be included.
ms will say 3d is not important then they will back out after two years of introducing the new xbox like what they did now with hd gaming

[TANOD]

x360 on the other hand burns down even while playing Dead Rising

I am playing UT3 ps3 version and there is no lag as pointed by MS_SPOT.

are u on crack. that x360 is very low powered compared to ps3 and this is why the BEST GAME ON CONSOLE IN TERMS OF GRAPHICS ---is on PS3 and that is UNCHARTED.

BTW is ur X360 still alive

i hate to waste all of my comments when the subject is just beginning but here goes:
your masterpiece uncharted as you call it is a very poor game while it has a large world(a choice by the devs) this choice has made its performance very poor in drawing small objects in time so it would be when you are playing in 3d to see the object getting drawn in front of you now that would frustratin wouldn't it
3D is still a far way off

[pschampion]

this is totally exciting sorry for the double post

[wiikcster]

psfangirls and xbots can both keep dreaming and adulating their while we enjoy true motion sensing now that's exciting

[xboxdread]

There's more millionaires in the U.S. then there are 3DTVs. 3DTVs won't appeal to the masses for another 10 years.

Actually we have one of those 3D plasmas in the office (since this week). But I am less then excited. The general opinion is, that its nice - as long you look at the display from the right angle. But as soon as you start moving, everything becomes very blurry. Some companies do nice things with it, maybe our implementation wasn't good enough. AFAIS those displays are based on this technology. If they are, its a long way to go, until this can become mainstream - if at all.

@ zhuk.

I just want to congratualte you on making useful posts and valid observations. There's no question you can make a very valid contributuion to the site when you are not involved with troll baiting. Even you must be saddened by the fanboy slagging matches that blight every thread, so thank you for choosing not to respond in type to some of the rubbish posted in this thread!

As for the story - its exciting tech indeed! Lets face it, we've all been waiting on systems that can really produce good 3D instead of a 2D screen output, and it looks like the technology is finally starting to get there. The big question for gamers, is how this gets used to bring new experiences to us! It's exciting times for gamers! :)

"It seems that a company named Mitsubishi" you make it sound like you've never heard of Mitsubishi!

[Account deleted]

but as a motorcycle company!!! i am stunned that they are involved in 3d tools development

[Zhuk]

my friend Mitsubishi is an amazing company (well actually they are a group of companies, kind of like a Japanese shogunate for corporations), they are well known for their automobiles in Australia but they make everything from bikes to agricultural equipment to nuclear reactors to Jet Fighters and TV's.

Even the famous Japanese Zero from WW2 was made by a Mitsubishi company! quite a incredible history

[Account deleted]

you are right after doing some fast research i found out is indeed a great company i will edit the update to be more proper
and i thought that i am now up to date in technology stuff it seems i have a lot of catching up to do tnx

[bososakoo]

i am afraid motor companies these days are gonna rule the industry //just kidding

[sevanig]

I drive a Mitsubishi Magna

HDDVD could easily win this if they bribe warner to go HD exclusive... should that happen then I think HDDVD will take the throne :X I'm not so sure which way warner is going to go.... but i hope it's blu ray...

[Account deleted]

microsoft will bribe not to go blu ray exclusive so they can prolonge the war and drag the world towards digital downloads. M$ doesn't want this war to end no matter what they say
but the ps3 is gonna win it for blu ray even if it doesn't win the console war, it may have been a bargain by sony to lead both wars in one front, let's wait and see nothing is for sure

[darkSnipar]

going to get something cool but the suggested beast above has a hefty price 500$ more than a ps3, i would rather wait for mitsubishi to see if there will any price difference and anyway they are developping it especially for the ps3 so it must more compatible with it

[pschampion]

500$ isn't a hefty price. consider buying a hi-def tv and you will lash out 1500$. but take this advice this device isn't good i have been googling thru the internet and i found out it is not good when you move the pictures gets blurry which becomes frustrating in the course of the movie i would advice you to wait for mitsubishi, i heard they made a presentation of their techonlogy to the press and the reporters were impressed

[darkSnipar]

for this useful insight

[theox2g7]

ooo, bluray is doing so well
ZOOOOMG, yea Bluray is the best, they are doing so awesome outselling HD DVD discs worldwide on an amazing average ratio of 4.86:1, wooooow, and let's see they have more than a 10 times larger install base/10:1 hardware advantage, full entry level 1080p support, cheaper discs in general, richer demographic, massive advertisement, several other hardware manufacturer's support, twice/thrice space on store shelves, more BOGO sales and free disc giveaways every week or two, higher disc storage capacity, uncompressed audio that only dogs can discern and a stronger industry backing with better exclusive movies Pirates Trilogy, Spidey Trilogy, Disney Movies, Sony Pictures, Fox and poor dead hd dvd with their really sucky marketing/popularity has only bourne,shrek 0.5 and transfomers this holidays, don't worry it will only be a matter of time before we take over that 10% of marketshare that DVD has left us over with, our ps3 nuclear bomb was successful, from there our plans for world domination over dvd can begin, muhahahaha!! oh and guess what? we came up with a plan to sell more standalone players? how? we'll totally screw over our first adopters by bringing a new profile that is only available on the newer players so they can spend more of their hard-earned cash to buy those newer players in addition and we can finally have features that hd dvd have had since launch!!!! Awesome, isn't it?
Bluray has all this, really? are u kidding, plus they are managing to outsell hd dvd 4.86:1 with all these advantages? oh wait, is that a good thing/sign for bluray?

end/*******

clue- att_ch r_t_

STANDARD DVD FTW cos DVD is gonna be here forever right? oh wait, so it isn't true, omg we're doomed!!!!

end/ even more *******

clue- the future is high def

[SSCOOLCHEA]

my bravia 40 and my ps3 is just fine right now.

[theox2g7]

I was being sarcastic u know, the whole post was sarcastic, i was just making fun of fanboys on all sides, it was just a joke, bluray is an awesome format, can u believe i drive out to best buy just to sit there and watch bluray movies? I just find some of the fanboy arguments on this site funny so i decided to do some research and make a joke about it,
but I'm your average joe six pack college student working partime, so those luxuries are gonna have to wait a couple of years for me, my crappy cable and dvd player on my ugly box will do me fine as well
