3d Gaming Around the Corner?

In case plans by AMD and a slew of other tech vendors planning to showcase 3D Blu-ray compatible products at CES wasn’t a tip-off, the updated specifications are done. The key details? First, that the Blu-ray Disc Association has chosen the Multiview Video Coding (MVC) codec to store 3D, so that even though it is now providing a full 1080p frame for each eye, it will only require about 50% more storage space compared to the 2D version, and all discs will be fully backwards compatible, in 2D, on existing players. Better than backwards compatibility, the PlayStation 3 will be forwards compatible with the new discs
How many times have you missed a jump because you weren’t able to judge depth correctly? Being able to see the 3d in games would be huge! A game changer, pardon the pun. Let’s just hope we don’t need barf bags for the trip.
