Samsung Releases New 3D Plasmas with EA

[admin]

In March, Samsung Electronics has released a couple of 3D PDP TVs in Korea this week in a partnership with Electronic Arts (EA). This is a world first, and partnering with the world’s largest game content provider isn't a bad way to debut the technology. Samsung stated in a report that the move reflects its ambitious strategy to take the lead in the 3D contents market as more and more consumers seek easy-to-use 3D home entertainment.

Sounds interesting, but it doesn't fill me with regret for buying a new tv a month and a half ago.

And i just got done watching Beowulf on HD DVD!

This 3d stuff, I don't know... I'm not opposed to such advances but, why do we need 3d screens in our homes?

Yeah, maybe someone once said that about the telephone.

I own the first 3D porn disc. I'm not impressed by that, either.

3D is cool, but knowing it is just a fakery in my mind often prevents me from enjoying it. I just don't see myself putting on special glasses to watch football. Of course, 40 years ago, who imagined that everyone would be able to reheat things in 30 seconds via inexpensive microwave ovens in every home?

Lost in the shuffle...

The mere fact that these displays are being developed with the "help" of EA makes me want to puke. I avoid games put out by that corporate behemoth at any cost; they stifle creativity within their own teams, they answer only to their shareholders (and not the gamers), they buy up the competition when they can't compete with their own IP's, and they are making a hostile takeover bid to purchase Take Two (makers of my beloved "Bioshock"). If I were the developers in Take Two's camp I would jump ship the day the deal went official. As for Samsung investing in home 3d technology I can only say "who cares"? Navigating their own website about the benefits of their latest dlp chip is confusing at best and the fact you have to use it in conjunction with your pc will only discourage joe 6 pack. I suppose it would be different if you could adopt some functionality with current players or with a future version of HDMI.
