The latest Xbox 360 update which will be available via the latest batch of games and most likely via Xbox Live in the coming days finally places the Xbox 360 on an even keel with the PS3.

The new update allows users to enabled 3D for use with 3D TV sets. The text reads "Enable 3D to use stereoscopic 3D in games and experiences that support it. The option also has a setting which will detect TV size and also allow users to input the size manually.

The PS3 has had these options for quite some time via one of its updates but is good news that the Xbox 360 finally recognizes 3D games; especially in light of the announcement of 3D support for Gears of War 3, Batman Arkham City and Halo CE: Anniversary. What's interesting is the use of the words "games and experiences", could this mean Xbox 360 will be getting 3D movies from SKY and Netflicks in the near future?

for me, no it doesn't, you just need to get used to it. I have been meaning to get back into the single player of Black Ops in 3D. Looks so good and makes it actually worth while playing!
can you read this?

Haha

Its been one of my thoughts with the whole 3D scene. I generally wear my prescriptions when I'm watching tv or on the computer, not because I'm completely impaired without them, I just like that extra bit of clarity I get using them. Like going from 720p to 1080p :p But yes, I've often thought how the 3d glasses go for people that are heavily dependent on prescriptions to see anything at all. Another hassle are headsets. Wearing glasses normally with headsets on, generally after awhile it starts to feel really uncomfortable as if the glasses are beginning to infuse with your skull. to avoid this I have to rest the arms on top of the ear pieces making the glasses go on a bit of an angle.

usually the glasses are designed so they go over the top of your glasses needed to see with :P

The Samsung rechargable glasses are also very sleek in how they sit on your head. They don't hook behind the ear so they aren't as much of a problem with headphones. The battery pack and the matching weight they put on the other arm are just heavy enough and contoured just right that they hug gently to your head just passed the ear. Awesomely designed.

The panasonic ones are fairly comfy as well, to be honest you hardly notice them after a minute or two. I don't get the whole "but you have to wear glasses" thing. No one bats an eyelid about wearing sunglasses they go outside, why is it the worst thing ever when you are wearing them to watch a movie....

Well, the price... But you are right, you very quickly forget you're wearing them.

Yeah the price sucks. I was just talking about the complaints about wearing them.
