3d and MMOs

After watching the latest 3d movie in theaters, I was inpressed with the Reald 3d glasses that was used.
What I am wondering is how well a 3d system would work for on-line MMOs.
I can see some limited use of the glasses in non-3d games like WoW to darken the screen and bring out details of thier layer system they use to give depth to the screen.
Some of the problems I can think of that might prevent use of a 3d system in MMOs:
1. The cost of the licensing fees and followup fees for a game company to use such a system, and how well it would work with their game engine.
2. Use with standard TV and computer vidio/cpus or would we have to go out and build/buy all new systems.
3. The amount of air way/internet bandwith that would be needed with some IPS now putting limits on the max amount of information you can use each month.
If anyone has more info/or ideas on 3d systems for that can be used for 3d MMOs using current TVs and computer systems I would like to hear about it. Hoping that there might be a good on-line 3d MMO out there in five or six years.

It has a pretty big list of games that seem to work "excelent/good/fair", funny thing, at the bottom of the list the following:
Not Recommended Hyborian Adventures - Age of Conan

Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
We just need to wait for the Matrix in games....
My blog is a continuing story of what MMO's should be like.
i've watched Matrix 3d movie, called "bolt". very interesting, but not as exciting as i expected to be. maybe this tech applied in the games will give ppl more fun.
