BigDownload Article on Nvidia's 3D Vision Discover
I found a fun little bit of info this morning. They've now got an alternative to the $600 price tag of "3D" gaming. With the latest Windows Vista/7 GeForce drivers, you can activate the 3D Vision Discover option on any GeForce 8 or better card and then games should more or less work with the standard red/blue 3D glasses you can get at the movies.
Definitely not as high quality as the $600 method, but it's hard to argue with the price tag if you've got one of those cheapo 3D glasses lying around. Nvidia does have some custom 3D glasses that they've been bundling with some of their cards for this purpose and I don't know how much better they are, but the website above says you can use the regular ones ok. I don't know how cool it'll really be and it sounds like some games only really have partial support, but it would something fun and cheap to try.
