I don't see how adding depth can be a scam.I don't really need it for movies but for FPS games its a great feature.Just try it with Killzone 3 you might find you like jamming that knife into someones skull in 3d.

I think roger ebert wrote an article about the pitfalls of 3D that was fairly similar.

Basically the industry is going all out for 3D because they stand to literally make a fortune off it, not to say that it's all bad, but this is the greatest windfall since films began. So for that I can't completely blame them, they want that money, they're gonna push to get it. I think most people are smart enough to opt out if they don't think its worth the extra money, especially with gas prices right now.

I personally hate 3D and I have a really good reason. I can't see it. The fact that so many movies and games are coming out in 3D and stifling the creativity in other ways when it's something that not everyone can see annoys me.

Think about it like this. Had all the movies that have come out with 3D and sucked just put that money and focus into making a better movie instead of a gimmick everyone would have been happier. I think it's stupid what both the game industry and Hollywood kinda want 3D to become a standard when not everyone can even see it. I would rather Hollywood focus on better special effects or CGI or new actors or better story telling and all the same things can be said for the game industry and you can add better game design to the list. These are things that benefit everyone.

I know it kinda sounds like a stupid argument but it really isn't. While people who can't see 3D are in the minority it's still a rather large minority and while with games you can just not play the game in 3D it's becoming more common for theaters to only have the 2D version of a 3D movie for a week or 2 before ditching that and only having the 3D version(At least this is what happens in the 3-4 theaters around where I live) And with more movies being in 3D it makes it harder for me to see what I want to in theaters.

I'm one of the 25% that gets headaches from even watching it. In my case the various media companies just distance me further with it.

Real 3D is just fine. 2D converted to 3D is the scam that needs to be stopped.
