The enthusiasm for 3D ads before the big game really got to the millions of home viewers. I actually went though three local food stores to get my own 3D glasses.

By Shawn Farner on Wednesday, Jan 14th 2009 No Comments

It seems that 3D gaming could possibly be on its way to the Playstation 3 – that is, if Sony feels like it, along with countless other “if’s”. The company showed off a demo of 3D gaming for the PS3 but remained adamant that the demo was not a “proper” demonstration.
