It looks like the best rated 3d gaming system by Christoph Bungert (see http://www.stereo3d.com/3dhome.htm and http://www.stereo3d.com/virtual_i.htm) is being released this weekend in Korea. I have not found anyplace else to buy it. I cannot read Korean, but with the help of a web page translator (free at http://babelfish.altavista.com/babelfish (be sure to select 'Korean to English')) you can make out a few words, so check out the following retail sites: http://www.mart24.co.kr/SimpleX/ProductView/335/645 http://shop.joins.com/productList.asp?category_name=030010030990 http://www.shoppingasia.co.kr/Goods/Goods_detail.html?cat1_no=&cat2_no=&cat3_no=&no=2201 And this page here which seems to say that the glasses are being released to select retailers starting last week: http://www.gamegru.co.kr/gamemaker/gamemakerview.asp?sendgamemaker=2759 It says the sticker price is 77,000 but I have seen it for as low as 67,000. I don't have any idea how much that is- can someone convert that price into Dollars? I suppose this long-awaited release in Asia will mean it will hit U.S. stores by fall or even Christmas but I'm going to try to get one now- even if the instructions, software, and the included games are not in English! LOL. I emailed a retailer in Korea asking what they would charge for the package and for shipping- I will let you know. Thanks for this AWESOME website and all the helpful posts in the bulletin board. I wanted to give something back with a little info on the controllers I'm sure alot of people are excited about! ~coolbluesurface |

FYI, the 67,000 'S.Korean Won' would be about $57 US Dollars. (Currency Converter here: http://www.xe.com/ucc/) ~coolbluesurface |

The glasses are also available in the 3D kit from IOData, but I can't find them anywhere. Here is the company website: http://www.iodata.jp/promo/play3dpc/ Please post any English-language websites with these products. ~coolblusurface |
