I just got the new Imperator from Razer, and I must say I'm verry happy with it. it's definitely an improvement if you are used to a Deathadder. The mouse is really ergonomic and has no real hard materials on it. It's also slightly smaller than the Deathadder which I like a lot. Razer is doing good things lately =)

I want to be able to relax and enjoy, without those goofy glasses or feeling like there's people in my living room. The only time 3d would ever be fun is for a movie, in theaters, which i ould watch, enjoy, then forget about.

Probably pretty good, the problem is will it just be in 3D or both versions one one disc? Not a lot of people (0.2% max) have a 3D capable display, so why buy a 3D disc?
