Sony gets all bases covered, issues warning for 3D gaming in TOS
Sony’s made it pretty clear how they feel about incorporating 3D into the PSP. And while they’re supportive of it on the PS3, they’re still making sure you’re given the sufficient warning, given the present concerns of using 3D technology.
Sony’s made it pretty clear how they feel about incorporating 3D into the PSP. And while they’re supportive of it on the PS3, they’re still making sure you’re given the sufficient warning, given the present concerns of using 3D technology.
The company has recently updated their Terms of Service, and here they make explicit warning to gamers. In case you haven’t checked it out (cos really, who actually does read the TOS in full, if at all?):
Some people may experience discomfort (such as eye strain, eye fatigue or nausea) while watching 3D video images or playing stereoscopic 3D games on 3D televisions. If you experience such discomfort, you should immediately discontinue use of your television until the discomfort subsides.
SCEA recommends that all viewers take regular breaks while watching 3D video or playing stereoscopic 3D games. The length and frequency of necessary breaks may vary from person to person. Please take breaks that are long enough to allow any feelings of discomfort to subside. If symptoms persist, consult a doctor.
The vision of young children (especially those under six years old) is still under development. SCEA recommends that you consult your doctor (such as a pediatrician or eye doctor) before allowing young children to watch 3D video images or play stereoscopic 3D games. Adults should supervise young children to ensure they follow the recommendations listed above.
We suggest you guys take this at face value and not use it to ignite another console war of sorts (although it is not hard to see how that interpretation could be made). For everyone’s safety, just make sure you practice caution when you go play in 3D.
