3D gaming and movies seem to be all the rage these days.  Every big theatrical release touts it's 3D viewing and several big games tout their compatibility with 3D on the PlayStation 3 and PC.  Most home 3D viewing is done using a system that requires a set of big glasses that use alternating eyes to give the impression of 3D.  But there's another method that's a lot less expensive and a lot closer to the experience you'd find in a movie theater - and that's polarized.  Over the past few weeks I've been using a new monitor from AOC that uses this method to display 3D images.  

The first Sony TV with the much lauded SimulView technology will be available for purchase on November 13th worldwide.  The 24 inch 3D TV utilizes a set of 3D glasses for each player to create two distinct 2D images - thereby eliminating an actual split-screen setup and allowing both players to look at the full screen.  We had some eyes on time with the TV back at E3 and came away pretty impressed - but one thing has changed since then - the bundled game.

A few months ago we brought you news of Sony's new fangled technology that would allow two different gamers to view two full, separate images on the same screen.  It uses 3D glasses and wizards and stuff.  That's actually an image (below) of the working product which we saw at E3.  Not to be out done, Microsoft has jumped into the magical split screen market.  

One of the surprise announcements of Sony's E3 2011 Press Conference was a brand new TV they created aimed at a budget friendly consumer market.  The 24" 3D TV features 1080p support, 3D capabiltity, simulated surround sound capability, and of the most interesting feature - a 2 player mode that allows multiple players to see the full screen each with their own unique view.
