    The Sony 3DTV looks really cool, especially with the ability for two different players to see two different images on the same screen, no more screen watching!

    That's a massive selling point for me. I absolutely loathe split screen and this will be a definite purchase from me when it becomes available.

    I just think it's a bit small, a 32" TV would have been perfect.

    They had it designed in mind for those who want to experience 3D gaming but didn't have the space for a big TV.

    I game in my bedroom and the 3D TV is a perfect size (and price... I hope) for me.

    won't you need two sets of the glasses to get that split screen effect?

    yeah, I think they said it comes with them though

    Watching people flip the fuck out that kinect support is being put into 360 games is far more satisfying than it ought be.
    Their nerd rage, it is delicious.

    I'd have no problem if what they were putting into these games was anything other than a massive gimmick that is easily achievable without a €150 investement.

    I thought they mentioned only 1 set of glasses, there was definitely only one set on screen anyway when they were talking about it

    I'd say it's only 1 pair myself.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,661 ✭✭✭✭Helix

    I guess i can't find it in myself to get worked up over titles including some optional extras for people who have bought a kinect.

    Will watch the Sony conference later but $250 for the PS Vita? Well done Sony. Nintendo really are going to have to react and drop the price of the 3DS to compete with that.

    Euro conversion rate is bull**** though.


  • Registered Users Posts: 51,342 ✭✭✭✭That_Guy


    Is the Nintendo press conference on at 5pm or 5:30pm?

    Was just on gametrailers.com and they seem to be starting their coverage at half past the hour.


  • Registered Users Posts: 55,517 ✭✭✭✭Mr E


    9am Pacific (5pm GMT) according to most timetables (I just had a look around).


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 1,855 ✭✭✭Charlie Haughy

    Word of advice. Don't watch the MS show.

    Why?

    Unless you are a fan of kinect games then it was an absolute trainwreck and boring. If you must watch it then turn it off when they start showing kinect games. all you'll be missing is the crappy Halo 4 teaser which you can find elsewhere.

    I don't know, it looks like kinect support will be in a lot of games now, i thought the gunsmith thing ubisoft were on about was pretty cool looking.

    I wonder what it is about gamers that makes them translate "Well, that's not for me" into "you must be a moron if you have anything but contempt for that!"


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,597 ✭✭✭irish_stevo815


    Has there been or will there be any big conference from THQ?? Been looking forward to getting some game footage of the new WWE game and UFC Undisputed 3.
    If anyone can direct me to any vids or news I would be ever so happy :pac:

    BTW, still wrecked from staying up for the Sony event last night......went to bed dreaming of Vita, it was all in 3D too ;)


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,597 ✭✭✭irish_stevo815
