Gran Turismo 5 in 3D makes an unconvincing demo

After putting on the glasses and playing a good session, it's unclear if the 3D effect adds anything of real worth to the experience. The game looks great, and it plays just as well as you could imagine—this is Gran Turismo 5, after all—but after a few minutes I was ready to take the glasses off and play the game using the standard graphics on a normal television.

Seeing both your arms and the dashboard in front of you while the track races by in 3D is definitely cool, but the graphics were dimmer than you're used to from a standard set, and wearing the glasses on top of my normal glasses wasn't exactly an optimal experience.
