3d vision player and 3d vision ready Difference when running games
This is a real newbie question and I am sorry if it has already been covered elsewhere. Did search the forum as well as google and could not find the answer.

I have a pc with a nvidia 3d graphics card and have purchased the kit and a nvidia 3d ready monitor arriving later this week (can't wait)

I appreciate some old games can be played in 3d using the 3d vision player. However, is there any advantage with games that are labeled "3d vision ready"? Are they going to be a better 3d experience. I have done a quick search on steam and there does not seem to be that many games which are labeled "NVidia 3d Vision Ready" (think there are about 4) although there are lots of games which claim to be 3d (such as Sonic 3d Blast or Earthworm Jim 3d). Even the Batman: Arkham Asylum doesn't claim to be Nvidia 3d vision ready on Steam. Does it matter?

It doesn't really matter, "3d vision ready" is just an arbitrary rating attributed by nVidia to a game that works in 3D. Technically any game that is directx 8 and above can run in 3d. The better nVidia rates a game, the better you can expect it to look, however, there are cases of games with good, excellent or even 3d ready ratings that have some glaring issues in 3d.

The official list of ratings is there http://www.nvidia.com/object/3d-vision-games.html
