--- Quote ---With manufacturers rolling out 3-D television sets, the promise of videogames that transport players into deeply immersive 3-D worlds is inching closer to reality.

I have to agree with:
--- Quote ---Emphasis on the inching. The burden of 3-D glasses, the cost of a brand-new 3-D TV, the paucity of programming — all the reasons that adoption of 3-D television will be slow as molasses also apply to games

Given how long it's taking to get HD off the ground, and the fact that Ofcom have moved the goalposts for Freeview, I think consumers will be standing well back and waiting for standards to settle and prices to fall.
Simon:
I don't think standards will settle again, as technology moves so fast these days. As soon as you buy a component, it's out of date, and the next 'big thing' is round the corner.
