Sony's Solution To Split-Screen Multiplayer
We discussed Sony's E3 announcement of the pricing and details of the Vita portable console (hands-on report), but they also made a stronger push into the 3D space, revealing a 24" display specifically designed for 3D gaming. Most notable about this display is that two players wearing 3D glasses can use it to view separate images on screen. This means that when playing with a friend, you need not sacrifice 50% of screen real estate to accommodate the other player. The Guardian has a good run-down of Sony's other E3 announcements.
I loathe split screen multiplayer, and wish they would come up with a solution giving 2 players the whole screen to work with.
Definite case of "YMMV" there, bud.
Finally had enough. Come see us over at https://soylentnews.org/

They're using cheap glasses from going to movies with one person having two left lenses and the other two right lenses.
Some of my favourite people are from th US; Vonnegut, Chomsky, Bill Hicks.
So, for once, Sony actually listens to what people want... and you're STILL complaining?
