When we viewed the Sony offering to be released in a few months, the sales person mentioned that there is planned about three new 3D channels on cable, so that people will have access to 3D programs from the get go.
I’m not sure how broad the programming will be for it at the onset, but it can’t be that extensive since movies haven’t really been produced broadly in that format prior to the last few years.

I can’t keep up with the remote much less the 3D glasses.
Not that I can afford a new tv and blue ray and ...

The 3-D effect requires viewers to wear relatively bulky glasses that need to be recharged occasionally. They're not like the cheap throwaways that have been used in theaters since the 1950s. When you're wearing these 3-D TV glasses, room lights and computer screens may look like they're flickering, making it difficult to combine 3-D viewing with other household activities.
For this reason I believe 3-D televisions will be adopted as quickly as laserdisc (LD) players and have about the same lifetime.

Meh. I find 3D more distracting than enhancing the experience. The glasses just bother me. I’m constantly wanting to see what it looks like without the glasses. Then the glasses wear on my ears since I’m not sued to wearing them.
It’s a lot of hassle for very little benefit. I guess it would be cool if I was interacting with the movie. So that I could properly gauge how far to throw a basketball to get it in the hoop. But to watch someone throw a basketball in 3D really isn’t that exciting.

Too new and too expensive to buy one now IMHO. The only way to fly with this stuff is to wait a couple of years to see if it really will catch on, get all the bugs are worked out of the system and allow for the prices drop.

Combined with the required glasses
That's a deal-breaker for me. I'll wait for 3D holographic viewers or something.
To: DoughtyOne
Hey, NOTHING has been produced in 3D ~ for all practical purposes.
We don't even have enough trained artists to begin pushing this stuff out the door. Those who can handle the current software are all natural sculptors with pretty much the talent of a Michaelangelo ~ and now we get down to the real problem. In the entire world there are probably no more than a couple of dozen of these guys.
Now, we're not talking about those who can "copy" sculpture, but actually create "electronic sculpture" ~ which really isn't all that different from cutting marble when you get right down to it.

I thought they’d be higher. Not bad. Now to talk my husband into it. haha I’m the one who always wants the new audio/video equipment and he is the one to always say wait for the price to come down.

Well, if they develop/redevelop games with this, it should sell well. Of course, they say that whatever format porn selects is what the format will be.

Maybe so, but it seems to me that as 3d comes to the market it will be a great time to buy an lcd or plasma regular flat panels at reduced prices.
It worked for me; when flat panels first became popular I snapped up a crt for practically nothing. /s/

More stupid toys for the drones. I can't afford my healthcare, I can't afford my house payment, I can't afford my car payment, I can't afford my power bill....”Oh look honey there are the applications for that BestBuy no interest for 90 days credit plan...” More crap to entertain us to sleep, turn off the TV, read a book or go play a board game with your kid, stop losing yourself in the fantasy world of Heidi Montag and Avatar. I have 3 TVs, 2 are 20 years old and one I got off Craigslist for 300 bucks a 37 inch Dell LCD HDTV, which I watch maybe 5 hours a week. I am all for Big Government to track individual spending! You want that Medicaid Shaniqua..I see you bought that 3D Panasonic TV on December 17th, for $3750...hmm applicaiton denied. I love it when I drive through a poor neighborhood and see a 500 dollar car with $2000 in wheels and tires and a $800 stereo.

I don’t particularly want one. They don’t make enough shows worth watching in 2D to bother with 3D.

Well I guess I’ll circle 2018 on the calendar for when the feds pass another law eliminating HDTV broadcasts and forcing everybody to get a 3DTV.
