Recently, rumors of a 3D version of the Xbox have surge accross the web on various tech and video game blogs. This would be a very immersive experience, much more so than watching television and movies in 3D. The rumors suggest that the Xbox 3D games would be viewable as stereoscopic 3D games, which means you’ll need glasses to “get it.”
It doesn’t take much to imagine being “in” a game as opposed to watching a movie in 3D. While movies are certainly entertaining in 3D, certainly as technology is improving (Disney’s Up! in 3D was the best I’ve seen yet), there is still a very “spectator” feeling that goes along with them. The interaction of a video game, particularly the popular, fast-paced first person shooter games like Halo 3, would be incredibly intense in 3D.
The thought of a 3D video game system opens up endless potential for these experiences. Some company has to be the first to jump off the 3D bridge. If it’s a hit, it is going to be huge. Maybe Microsoft will take the leap of faith on 3D. We’ll be following this one as the rumors progress. So, stay tuned.

The most cost effective solution seems to be LCD glasses that would work with the next version of the XBOX.
Another solution is SONY using their new paper-thin bendable video display technology to make 3D goggles for use with the Playstation 3D.
If you want to put requests in to Sony to develop 3D goggles for the Sony Playstation you can email them at http://www.playstation.com under Contact Us:

We would be really interested in 3D Goggles for the Playstation.
