Default 3D TV's

Anyone have one yet? Some people think its a fad, but I'm quite excited about it. Doubt I will jump in on the first gen of these products as the glasses seem waaaaay to expensive at the moment. $150 per pair? no thanks.

What I'm really waiting for is a 3D projector so you can have a 100" 3D imagage for movies/games, that would be intense.

Oh yah, and the Masters this weekend is being partially broadcast in 3D by comcast in the states!

I was under the impression that they weren't coming out for a few more months yet in Canada?

I use to run Vision Electronic stores way back when. I won't be touching them, all this 3D stuff in tv's and movies. Come on, why not try to create better shows, where you don't need gimmicks.

I think I am getting old, next I will want the music turned down.

And why are all those young punks always hanging around the malls with their shorts always showing?? And do they really need to attach their wallets to long chains? I guess they do if they're already loosing their pants! LOL

(Sorry for hijacking the thread...I couldn't help myself 'cause I think i'm getting old too! LOL)

yah, thats the problem, I think there is going to be 3 3d-blu-rays before the end of the year... so there really is no advantage to being an early adopter. Even Avatar isn't coming out until next year (in 3D)

Futureshop has Under the Sea 3D from IMAX. Now THAT would be cool to watch. Anyone who has been two an IMAX 3D movie will tell you how wild this technology is. There are only a couple of titles available right now but you know it's going to take off like crazy.

Personally, i would wait a few years for the content to catch up and the technology to become cheaper and for them to work out all the bugs. But I have a fairly new HD LCD TV. If I were in the market for something and the price premium wasn't a big deal then maybe I would consider it as you will probably want to keep it for more than 2 to 3 years before buying another TV.
