Dear Ty,
I can't speak for the product itself, but I think this review didn't go deep enough. Hollywood is taking on 3D cinema in a big way thanks to 2:1 and 3:1 revenue compared to 2D offerings. You are correct to place great emphasis on stereoscopic 3D (S-3D) gaming because that is very exciting. We also have to credit the huge amount of growing pressure for this new 3D movie content to be equally displayed at home.
On the gaming side, Electronic Arts via their Electronic Arts Korea division is already taking a serious interest in stereoscopic 3D (S-3D) as shown here:

We are starting to see game developers implement native stereoscopic 3D support, and many of the leading game developers (e.g. Epic Games, Ubisoft, Turbine Games, etc.) have submitted titles for stereoscopic 3D review.
For myself, I'm not interested in what the glasses look like. I'm interested in reading about how the content looks through the glasses. 2:1 and 3:1 Hollywood cinema revenue was never dependent on how good the eyewear looked.
It would be good if you could amend your review with content experiences like S-3D movies, games, etc.
Regardless, it is good to see CNET taking an interest in these exciting stereoscopic 3D technologies.
Thanks in advance,
Neil Schneider, President & CEO
Meant to be Seen
