eDimensional Denies Internet Rumors About Potential Partnership with Nintendo
West Palm Beach, FL - May 5, 2005 - eDimensional, the leading manufacturer and worldwide distributor of cutting edge gaming and virtual reality accessories, today denied rumors circulating on the Internet that they were in negotiation with Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, the acknowledged worldwide leader in the creation of interactive entertainment.
According to online buzz, the Florida-based company is in discussion with Nintendo to license or sell its patented stereoscopic 3D technology, which is currently featured on the eDimensional 3D Gaming Glasses and VirtualFX console product, for use by Nintendo in future console systems. Several internet websites and forums are speculating that Nintendo is preparing to enhance the gaming console experience with stereoscopic 3D graphics. Because of eDimensional's ability to convert a two dimensional image on a standard television screen, using the VirtualFX, into a 3D image, some may be correlating this with Nintendo's possible upgrade.
"While it is typically our policy not to comment on rumors or speculation, due to the overwhelming number of phone calls and emails inquiring about this we felt the need to acknowledge that eDimensional is in no formal discussion or negotiation with Nintendo regarding our stereoscopic 3D technology," said Michael Epstein, CEO of eDimensional.

Then we get a new type of torture. The options are:
1. "AHHHH!! THAT'S what they're doing?"
2. "That's not enough info. I need MORE!"
3. "That's AWESOME! Only 400 days or so until launch."

eDimensional is in no formal discussion or negotiation with Nintendo
at this stage shouldn't all negotiations already be taken care of and all formal discussions already over?
they should be working on implementation by now.

Well in this case most us don't want to believe in the rumour. A denial tells us what we want to hear so we immediately buy it. In most other cases we want the rumour to be true so when we get a denial we try not to believe and speculate that something's being covered up.

Btw, I'm amazed at how many of you have Reggie avatars. What's up with that? Is it just something the most common posters do? It's actually quite funny.

Well, it's about time someone acknowledged it!

Although it's not all that bad if you picture it. Then again it could be much worse. For example What if it turned out to be like the Riddlers 3D TV from Batman Forever. All the while Reggie is sitting in his Lair sucking up are IQ unbeknowst to us! Hmmm a Reggie Riddler Avatar naww....

Am I the only one that likes true 3D gaming? What is up with you people? Jesus Christ on a stick!
I've never experienced true 3d gaming. So I can't say I'm excited.

"Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, the acknowledged worldwide leader in the creation of interactive entertainment."
Does *anyone* else think that this quote is... strange? I pointed it out hoping that someone else would jump on it, but, meh... I'll go out on the limb here...
This line seems... odd... for a company to put in a press release about another company that they, in theory, have no ties to. Why go out of the way to make such a nice, supportive statement - that is pretty subjective - and debatable - in a simple press release saying "Nope, we've nothing to do with them..."
Maybe I'm looking too far into this...

I myself would love 3D hologram like graphics, I mean just imagine being able to almost reach out and touch a hot chick in a game!...
