    E3 2010

    Concept »

    The 2010 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) took place at the Los Angeles Convention Center in Los Angeles, California on June 15-17.

    Has any of the 3D stuff at E3 convinced you on 3D?

    I'll give it a chance if the glasses are no longer necessary. For now, I'll sit and wait for it to become good.

    I'm still unsure about it. In general it feels like 3D is just the flavour of the month right now, seems like a lot of wasted effort in my opinion.

    I couldn't see any of the 3D stuff at E3 through my computer screen so I have no idea yet. I don't know how you guys saw it though...

    I have no opinion of it yet. I want to see it for myself, first. It really depends on what they are doing with 3D. I mean, if they are doing neat stuff with it, why not? But if it's nothing special, or it's just lacking, I wouldn't buy it. (Literally, too.)

    Before E3 I was convinced 3D was stupid, then I somehow got interested after watching the Sony Conference. 
    But now I have gone back to thinking 3D is bad again, except for the 3DS which I've gotten super interested in. So, yes, the 3DS has convinced me on 3D (without glasses).

    Assuming it works as well as people are claiming, the 3DS has my vote of confidence (and assuming the price is right). 3DTV's and are still waaay too expensive for me to care about.

     I feel like the 3ds is probably going to do well, but I have a very hard time imagining that any number of people will want to sit down with a pair of glasses on to watch tv in 3D unless it's for a specific movie.  

    If manufacturers can build it in to the tv, it might get further than that, but considering hd sets have taken around 12 years to around 60% of homes, I'm not too sure how long it would take for another new tech to get even that far. It strikes me that this is a lot like VHS -> DVD -> Blu-Ray; going from VHS to DVD was really obvious, and looked (all things being equal) a lot better no matter what TV you had it on. Going from DVD to Blu-Ray is a harder sell because for lots of people DVDs look OK enough, even on hdtvs. 
    I think the 3d is going to have the same issue; regular tv works fine for a lot of people, so why go out and buy a brand new TV if the only thing wrong with your old one is that it doesn't play the one or two 3d movies that came out last year?
