Sony Patent Kills Clunky Split Screen Gaming

Is there anything more annoying then split screen gaming? You have a friend over to play some games, and all of a sudden your massive screen is cut in half and neither of you can see any of the action. Sony may have an awesome solution to this problem.
The patent basically turns your 3D screen into two 2D screen (when special glasses are used). By creating a 50/60 hz refresh on odds and the same on evens, Sony have created the illusion of having two different images visible on the same TV.
Not only will it work for gaming, you could also watch two different videos at once, ending the age old TV bickering of who controls the remote in the relationship (it should always be the man BTW). As an added bonus the glasses will also come with their own set of headphones, for split audio.
Other then the part where you have to wear stupid looking glasses and have a super expensive 3D television, I am starting to get excited by local multi player gaming again!
