Any 3D content , movies, games, photos etc can be played with the Nvidea solution.

Extra glasses are a bit of a sting at $149...
The following figures are relatively correct for Australia, and unless you can give me a link for price i'm going to assume $300 for the glasses (cause I can find that price).

For any sort of home entertainment system:

Nvidia: $700 Computer ($400 bare bones + $200 Bluray and $100 nvidia card).

4 Glasses(Min): $1200

Projector: $1000 (Can't find one in Aus, so i'm pretending to ship it over).

Total Price around $2900 (AUD)

Your talking about the price range of cutting edge 3D Plasma and LED TV's. Sure you can do it, but the result is defiently not worth the minute saving you might be getting. Even if Nvidia drops their glasses to $100 (And you managed to get the cost to around $2000) I still wouldn't recommend them for a home theater situation.
