http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews/20050623_150720.html Honestly, I don't think I will be buying this.
-
Not a hope in hell.
-
I don't buy consoles by default.
-
I don't even want virtual reality. I like monitors and TVs just fine.
-
But in times when gamers shell out up to $1000 for a graphics card, $500 for a VR subsystem almost appears to be a bargain.
no.

I'm trying to be more disgusted, but it's not working.

people are gonna be complaining about either the wieght, or the fact that the dern things may give some migraines.
besides, it's a tad pricey, it'd be cheaper to just get a decent TV, and use it for more than one thing. :nod:

[q]Derek Smart is Going to Invade Your Console[/q]
I always thought it was my ass he was going for.
-
Buy a VirtuaBoy; you can probably get 10 for £1 nowadays.
-
Don't you guys see the plot here? Derek Smart making "virtual reality" goggles that millions of people will wear.... It's clear that they're subliminal brainwashing devices that will program people to become addicted to his games. Wait a year and Land of the Dead is going to be a reality.

Nein danke. :no:
-
:wtf: double post...

Is DS really connected with this or is 3001AD just a really unfortunate name choice?
-
Unhappy coincidence.
Incidentally, this is why these things will never catch on;

See? Looks a right ****.

One wasn't there something in the FAQ about burning in hell if you mention D*rr*k's name? Two I'm confused as hell, is this an indepentet system, or some sort of console extension.

No DS's company is 3000AD. I smell a lawsuit

DR (pfff....hahahahaha.... sorry, i'll compose myself) Smart has a neural network hyper-intelligence which locks onto any thread bearing his name, in order that he can post Over-Capitalised _unecessarily_ _underscored_ bold MESSAGES emphasising how he is an alpha leader of all men and should be worshipped because he is...er.....something.
-
I was wondering how far down this page I was going to get before someone realized this company is 3001AD, not 3000AD, and that the executive director in the article actually sounds like he knows what he's talking about :p
And ROFL @ aldo's DS description.

As far as I'm concerned, you can go and mention his name as long as you don't associate it with FS3. :doubt: And diss him while you're at it. :devil:
-
They look too silly(particularly in bright purple). I wouldn't want to be seen, even by my own family, wearing one of those things. I'm still waiting on those 3D televisions, though.
-
Ugh, 320x240... Hardly a "high-tech" solution - the crappy, five-year-old sets we have at the lab for VR development are 640x480 stereo.
-
Well atleast somthing came good out of this
new siggy!
-
Yeah, just remove the bloody quote tags. Huge signatures are bad, mmkay?
-
What does this have to with Derek Smart?
3000 AD is the game company.
3001 AD seems to be a virtual reality company in Mass.
Colour me confused as to why this topic exists, other than to poke fun at someone you don't like?
-
I think it went a little like this:
3001 AD = Battlecruiser 3001AD = Derek Smart = OH NOES!!!11

Mmh... always though virtual helmets would be nice. What, never tried Descent with a VFX1? :p
-
Yah, but to do it for a completely wrong reason just makes you look stupid.
-
I'm sure virtual reality will find its niche with pornography, as everything else seems to do.
