My Eyes! My Eyes!

Nintedo's new warning against playing the new Nintendo 3DS makes my eyes hurt!

According to CNN.com, Nintendo has sent out a warning that children who play the Nintendo 3DS may experience improper eye develepment. Additionally, Nintendo warns that children should take regular breaks while playing the 3DS; after 30 minutes of play time children should turn off the system to rest the eyes.

At $300.oo, I think I would be a little upset that I couldn't use the product for longer than 30 minutes at a time. On the other hand, as a parent, I might be happy that my kids will be forced to put down the handheld and play some football in the back yard.

Either way, could this hinder the long-term success of the 3DS?

I just wonder if Gutenburg, after inventing the printing press, warned the public that if they stare at a page for more than 30 minutes they might experience stunted eye growth? Well, maybe not. Books have been around for a very long time.
