PSP gets full-on Stereoscope for real 3D

You can pretend you don’t care . . . and if you don’t . . . fine, ya big doofus . . . but this is niftiness incarnate . . . well, at least it is to me and other like-minded souls.

While I wanted my grubbies to get a hold of a PSP when it was first announced, my enthusiasm waned more than a lot after it became obvious that it isn’t really as useful for vids or mp3s as first indicated . . . the puppy doesn’t have a hard drive and it really really should.

Also, in these parts, the game selection is mighty slim for a waiguoren who doesn’t read Chinese or Japanese as there are very very few English games in this neck of the woods on this side of the big blue.

However, Konami just announced something that may just force me to go out and buy one of the beasties.

Konami has announced a true real deal stereoscope peripheral that attaches to the PSP . . . it is called the SOL!D EYE TOBIDAC!D and will come with the Metal Gear Acid 2 game for the PSP that Konami expects to release in Japan around December for what looks to be a bit less than US$50.

Koolness. It really does look like one of my old stereoscopes, a Holmes Viewer for the modern age, if you will.

Now, wouldn’t it also be mega kool if one could view other 3D games and images and the like on the beastie? Yep, that would butter some rather toastalicious bread.

It might even make the PSP a useful viewer to cart around my own 3D photos like the ones here and here . . . or, maybe not . . . but it is still a great idea.

See stories on the Konami 3D peripheral announcement here and here.

Now . . . if anyone would really like to be so kind as to pop for a PSP, the 3D viewer attachment, and the game and just send it this way gratis . . . well, that would be nice of ya . . . not the girl in the photo, just the gear, got my own beautiful babe, thank you very much, and she’s quite 3D-savvy so she would know enough not to hold the thing backwards with the eyepieces away from the face . . . hmmmm . . . perhaps it’s time to slip back into my hypnotic voice and give that a go . . . after all, if it got me fansigns, maybe it will get me the gold . . . muah muah muah (evil laugh ™) . . . okay, er, uh, yer gettin’ sleeepy, yeah, so verrrryyy sleeeeeepy . . . so . . . send me stuff. Rats. Doesn’t seem to work. Oh, well.

All the 3Din’ best,
