"For casual gamers that's not going to be a huge problem, but as yet there's still no Peggle 3D… To start with it's uncomfortable, then you get used to it and half an hour to an hour later and it becomes uncomfortable once more.
"There is a bell-curve effect even with the best 3D hardware.

"This is why the active shutter glasses and 120Hz screen combo still inevitably leads to eye-strain.
