Ya know what i have on Lay-by (This IS related), I have a 3D device on lay-by, you wanna know which one?
Virtual Boy...
Yep 1995 at its finest
Its 3D, it also causes Nausea and headaches! WOW!
I don't hate 3D, I reckon it has a place but just not in my home, I have enough trouble with my 32" Tv which took me ages to save for and my surround sound by Logitech, which i got as a birthday gift from the folks. Its taken me this long just to get those things let alone anything else.
I had a Commodore 64 in 1995, i could only dream of a PS1 or N64 or even a Saturn
My point, I know alot of people who still don't Own LCD's...
Who can really justify the money on 3D with its handful of movies and ONE channel COMING SOON.
Much like Blu-Ray and its pitiful attempt, Besides Sony is already working on something better...
35mm, Betamax, VHS, Laser Disc, VCD, DVD, Blu-Ray.... Future crystals! Holotapes! Hell... USB.
Time is not a friend to technology... especially when you try to put a NES on a 32"

Quite frankly, I like it, it's just that I can't go to a cinema, electronics market, game/movie retailer or online stores without being bombarded by this new, innovative way of enhancing the visual medium.
As far as recent history is concerned, 3D popped up occasionally, was great fun and all, but never managed to really captivate the broad masses enough to make everybody and their mom go out and spend a fortune on 3D equipment.
see also: Blu-Ray DVD.
Not to mention that, while being fun and all, it really isn't all that great, 3D will never push a great game/movie past it's limitations (e.g. Avatar), and a shoddy one won't be saved by it (e.g. Saw 3D).
I'd rather have them invest more time and energy (and publicity) to the development of holograms. C'mon, get with the times, 3D is soooo last millennium

It's not "bad", just overrated. Granted it's always nice to seem media advance and progress but this seems uncessary. Aside from 3D itself being old news, it isn't a selling point to me personally. I'd rather sit back and let the movie happen than have it come at me. Also any movie that needs to rely on 3D isn't a movie worth seeing. It would be like thinking the Mona Lisa is good because all of a sudden she's showing her teeth in her smile.
My brain already translates a 2D picture into a 3D idea and has been doing so for over 30 years. 3D just doesn't impress me unless its a hologram.
Technically aren't all movies 3D? Sure they may not have depth but they contain movement, the 4th dimension (space and time).

ive never been a fan of 3D, i dont see why theres a sudden boom of popularity for it. Seemes like every other movie nowadays is offered in 3D for close to twice the ticekt price.
I may not be the best to ask, seeing as how im not rly a fan of HD either.

I don't hate it, I just hate how every movie that comes out now seems to think it's compulsory to have it in 3D even when it would suit 2D better.
Then you stop watching movies.Darklord Bright said:
I have one eye. The local theater is running something like a dozen movies, every single god damn one of them is in 3-D. So yeah, I guess I'm by default done with movies. Which sucks because there are a lot of movies coming out that I'd love to see, and they're allllllll in 3D. So I get to wait another 6-8 months for it to come out on DVD and pay triple the price of a movie ticket to see it.
Realistic pictures =/= Good pictures'
If I shoot a movie of a dogs turd that lying on the sidewalk, IN 3D!!! It is still a video about a dogs turd on the side walk...
I don't want games companies to start spending money and development time to created bigger and better visuals. When they could spend that time doing better content and story lines. Same goes for movies.
Better sound quality??? Sound quality IS THE BEST, we can possibly have. Ever tried to record something in 512 bit-rate on 96000hz, you can hear everything in it (assuming you have average hearing quality and understanding. I can tell you, nothing is more realistic than sitting front of real orchestra, the quality is not that great, the quality depends on where you sit and how the orchestra is positioned. When I listen the orchestra trough super quality 3D surround it doesn't sound the same. (I know this very well since I play in a damn orchestra and work with music and listen it ALOT!)
I Don't want to buy super expensive and totally new gear that has more dangers of failing just to play a game for few hours a day with my friends.
I do not want the games to get even more realistic, I enjoy them as they are now...

I don't hate 3d, I just don't think it enhances the experiece any. I think that 3d is a gimmick and nothing more, it doesn't add anything for me, in fact it takes away because it gives me wicked headaches. I think 3d just adds another distraction to a game, while not adding any benifit, but that's just my opinion.
I won't buy any 3d game, or console, or movie, or anthing else, unless there is not 2d version. The only reason i even got a flatscreen tv was because i move 4 times a year into and out of college and flatscreens are a lot easier to carry.

I don't because it gives me head aches and most of the time i just want to watch a normal movie.
When 3d is implemented, it tends to be all that the devs/creators focus on, rather than a coherent story and actually GOOD visuals.
3D TV's came out too early for their own good. Everyone in the market for a new tv has already purchased a plasma, lcd, or projection tv, and will not likely buy another one for several years. 3D for me is on par with the motion gaming fad. A little bit annoying, but nothing I cant ignore for the next 10 years, or however long it takes them to be able to beam images directly into your brain.
I think IMAX when I think 3D. I saw the Matrix in IMAX and it was pretty awesome, particularly when Trinity jumps off the building early on in the movie. However, I wouldn't say it would have been worth the price hike for the tickets. I saw it for free as I had won the tickets.
The whole theater experience for me has been killed by the fact that I have had a giant tv since the cost of owning one was prohibitive. I generally don't like people eating f'n popcorn and jabbering on about the movie we are watching or kicking the crap out of my chair, etc. So I watch them at home now. I don't care that I don't see it the day it comes out.
3D is a way to get people to come back to the theaters, but like IMAX it appeals to a subset of potential moviegoers. Even if that subset is 60% (which I doubt it is), it is still a subset. Hike up the price you dwindle the number further.
TV manufacturers jumped on the 3D bandwagon because they don't want to lose the home theater folks to going back to the actual theater. Time will tell, whether 3D becomes like IMAX and is just a gimmick used on some films, or whether it will be like HD (702p then 1080p) where it becomes a standard. I lean towards it staying as a gimmick.
Good thing about everyone buying up 3D tvs though is I got a steal on my 55" Samsung 1080p television. I tend to buy my tvs when the new tech starts to drive the price down. I bought the last model big screen Sony made that was 4:3. It was 720p capable and at the time very little was even in first gen HD on cable/satellite. Even though all the tv manufacturers had put out their 16:9 tvs and the flat panels had arrived. It was years before I found that almost everything was now in HD. This tv is nearing 10 years old and is just now starting to show the bands of watching HD letter boxed.
So now my 1080p tv is in the same boat. Other than BlueRay DVD's and the odd game, it's tech that sits unused. TV is still in 720p (at least in my region), but by the time I am ready to give this one up, again what it was capable of will be used nearly all the time instead of occasionally. 3D tvs are too close to following 1080p to market in order to justify everyone going out and upgrading again. We aren't even getting the bang for our buck on 1080p sets, why the heck would I go buy a 3D tv.
As anything time will tell, but I see 3D being a fad that fizzles, or stays in a niche market.
