This was going to be a reply to the other 3D topic but i would like to hear your reply's so i started my own.

3D games aren't so far away in terms of possibility. Remember the green and red glasses that made an image come to life,Well a few months back this was used on a PSM2 DVD with the MTV music generator and it wasn't half bad.

The problem is that it's colourless,but anyone who's been to the IMAX in London will see that with some tinted specs and a screen you can bring very colourfull moving images or films completely to life. In America they have recently released an Imax DVD which is probably stunning.

Another problem is the size of the screen, in the Imax this is absolutly HUGE where as the average kid on the block has either a 14inch in their room or the big TV downstairs for their console.The effect just wouldn't be the same.

How about The Television Goggles which are easily availible in shops that gives an impression that you're seeing a really massive TV all around you but it's really just 2 very small screens about 1 inch from your eyes.

An excellent idea would be to narrow down the tinted 3D glasses and place them onto the superb television specs and play the game or dvd which is in complete IMAX 3D and there you have it, the closest to virtual reality that is so easily possible with the PS2's DVD format or any games console.

It seems to be hard to think up new topics these days. Nothing seems to be happening in the gaming world at the moment that is remotely interesting.

I know all about the olmypus glasses thats what i was talking about, they are very expensive, I'd rather have a widescreen TV for the same price.

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.

Brilliant! As usual the careful and intuitive production that Freeola puts into everything it sets out to do. I am delighted.
