Does the Xbox 360 support 3D though Component Cables?

Question

I've read in various places that the Xbox 360 only supports 3D through 2D-to-3D conversion technologies such as LG's 2D-to-3D conversion (not meant to be an advertisement, I swear).

I notice the back of the Gears of War 3 box says that it supports 3D. Does this mean it supports 3D through 2D-to-3D conversion using component cables (broadcasting a special signal optimized for conversion to 3D) or should I upgrade my Xbox 360 to one of the new ones that supports HDMI at the same time I pick up my new TV tomorrow?

Answer

You can use component cables to play Gears 3 in 3D. I just did on my own HDMI-less console. You might get a better image quality with the HDMI, but the 3D affect does work with component cables.
