Considering that it’s the biggest consumer electronics company in the world, CES is a huge show for Sony. Here are four videos on four of its upcoming products, including a new 3D Bravia television, the Dash Internet tablet, the woefully named Bloggie video camera, and the sexy refresh to the Vaio Z laptop line. Watch, learn, be dazzled, and — if you’re so inclined — comment.
Meh, when is 3D going to go away again?
I got dizzy just watching action sequences in Avatar for 3 hours. There's no way I could watch television or play games for an extended period of time with those on. pass
3D did nothing to make Avatar better. To me, 3D is much like motion controls. Unless you design something for it from the ground up, it is going to feel cheap and not add anything of value. The tech seems to be abused a lot by just adding a waggle where a button press would suffice. Similarly, a lot of 3D movies just seem to have a bit more depth than static images, but they don't really take full advantage of the technology by having a "deep" scene or objects that pop out at you in the way that they should. It just goes to show you that when a new technology is thrown at their doorstep, many developers and producers will take the lazy way out to try to maximize profits.

I saw Beowulf in 3D and wasn't impressed. I wear glasses, so it was really a pain more than anything.
When I went to Universal Studios Orlando a few years back, I saw their 3D/live action Terminator show. That was 3D at its best. All the 3D crap in theaters now, pale in comparison.
3D isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The entertainment industry has really started to throw their hat in that ring, and it shows in the money consumers are spending at the movies.
@Avatar – I thought this was the first 3D movie that really worked. It didnt resort to any of the cheap tricks that most 3D films do, and for the most part I was able to forget that I was wearing glasses that facilitated that experience.
