primarily meant for gamers Nintendo has signed a partnership with Eurosport and Sky which will allow short downloads of 3D sport, such as Premier League football highlights, users will also be able to care for a 3D virtual pet using the Nintendogs and cats software, there are also more adult games, such as Super Street Fighter and Resident Evil,
it works without the need for special glasses like this, to create the 3D effect the Nintendo 3DS uses a device called a parallax barrier, this is a second LCD screen that sits over the main viewing panel that consists of a layer of material with a series of precision slits, allowing each eye to see a different set of pixels, so creating a sense of 3D depth, it works well providing the user sits in a fixed point in front of the image but does not work when viewed from an angle, a slider at the side of the device lets users choose the intensity of the 3D display, from an extreme 'in your face' experience to a more subtle effect,
now the bad news for families in Britain, in a move to rip off British consumers they will now have to pay more than their American counterparts for the latest technology, the hi-tech console will cost £229.99 in the UK, which is a mark-up of more than 40 per cent compared to the $249.99 (£156.50) charged in the U.S. nice one Nintendo, you should make a new 3D game for your console entitled 'how to stuff British consumers' o'ops! I just realised you already have, it is called real life!
