I beginning to think he hates everything
I am iffy about 3D in its current state as I always have been. I have felt that 3D could be something good, but it has always looked bad to me. I've known people that always have been "awe" of 3D in the past but I always found it to look bad. In the next few years we may have the chance of implementing 3D in a legit way, but the issues that are present now are holding it back like it has been held back in the past. Even if 3D does become excellent, I don't think I would use it all the time though, which is a big issue in selling 3D. Plus if the screen is too large, I may get sick. However, in the home environment it probably wont be as much as an issue.
The good thing is for the most part 3D hasn't ended up being insanely expensive compared to the entrance of other new technologies, though the glasses have caused understandable controversy. However this can be alleviated with bundle deals with new tv's, and I this will probably occur in the next generations. While most consumers and I may not be able to afford a few thousand dollar tv, it is new, and 3 grand isn't that crazy compared to other high end tv's. The price is naturally expensive so it isn't surprising or necessarily bad. Plus these tv's aren't bad tv's as they are high end products so even without 3d they are solid tv's. in the next year or so we will likely see this trickle into the mid range tv lines.
The most ideal time to jump on is in the second or third generation in which we will see lower prices.
The good thing though is that this drives down the price of conventional tv's as well. So for those that say it is gimmicky (that is debatable), it still works to the consumer's advantage as it drives down tv prices.
I have a 3D "Ready" TV and haven't ever really even bothered to look into it because there is NO CONTENT for how much it would cost to get running! and there is still NO CONTENT even with full 3D TV's now being sold. The only compatible Blu Ray is Monsters Vs. Aliens that comes with the freakin' 3D kit FFS...
So as it stands now, Who cares. There is no content for the home and once you show off your 1 Blu Ray 3D movie to a few friends and get a WOW reaction you will have nothing else to show for your investment...So It's not worth it right now in the end.
In the movies it is just a way to get people back in the theaters and most of the movies except for shining examples like Avatar and the Pixar/Animated movies they aren't all that great and still kind of gimmicky.
People will care eventually, but even early adopters are probably thinking WTF at this point...lol Don't buy any Blu Ray's because you will have to buy the MORE EXPENSIVE 3D version next year. Ha ha.
