3D - 2

Is there any way to convert Xbox 360 games from 2d to 3d?

Software by samsung claims to be able to convert regular 2d dvd's into 3d for display on a 3d tv/projector. It seems that if an algorithm can do that with movies, is there any way to do it with games that were not designed for 3d? To all you nay-sayers, 3d technology has been available for years now. It is available on certain samsung and Mitsubishi HDTVs and Xbox 360 games are starting to emerge 3d compatible (the most notable one being Avatar the game. Thank you jfk for taking the time to respond, but I disagree with your assumptions that the xbox 360 is not capable of displaying 3d. While the 360 itself is not capable of converting 2d content into 3d, if the game being played already contains 3d content (3d content in the avatar game can be enabled via the in-game option menu), a capable tv can display it. Samsung has confirmed that their plasma HDTVs (mdls PN42B450 & PN50B450) are capable of the definition and frequency required for the display of 3d content. These tvs are equipped with a 3d sync port on the back to connect shutter glasses. It should be noted that component does not meet the necessary requirements for 3d content and therefore an HDMI cable must be used (consequently, older xbox 360s without an HDMI will not work for this purpose). Just recently I have been able to confirm all this first hand with a PN42B450 connected to an xbox 360 via HDMI with wireless shutter glasses and the quality is extraordinary.

1. No... there are currently no 3-d capable games and the 360 itself isn't even capable of outputting in the neccesary 120 Hz display... The PS3 is supposedly getting a firmware update to allow for 3d display next year but there is nothing for sure there either
