I hope they never do. Personally, I hope 3D dies a slow, painful death. That bandwidth could be better used by offering more HD channels (like 24x7 HD RSNs). 3D is a gimmick and is NOT going to catch on, at least in its current form.

I have 2 3DTV's and it is rare I watch 3D on them.
Good television and quality movies = brain candy.Television= Eye candy.

They are just too damn expensive. (The 3D Blurays) if they cost the same as regular Bluray I bet more people would be buying them.

Agreed. Each new micro-enhancement of TV/video technology will push down the price of the previous technologies. Another good reason to wait until the progression slows, and settles into a common standard.THe best thing about 3-D tvs is it pushing down the price of non 3-D.
n3D is the Directv partner, 3net is available ... 3net: Home and has quite a bit of content 3net: Schedule as does n3D ... DirecTV n3D TV Schedule | LocateTVSame here, don't think I've bothered with any 3D after a few initial "yeah, that's cool" viewings the first month or so. The kids don't care about it either.
Besides, what broadcast content is available other than n3D and ESPN3D? Is there any chance we would see ESPN3D with the current Disney situation?
With all due respect, I think you are completely wrong. 3D is no more a gimmick than surround sound or HD video were when they were in their infancy. Most of us would not think of doing without either of those at this point.I hope they never do. Personally, I hope 3D dies a slow, painful death.

About time there was a voice of reason in the thread, as opposed to the weird knee-jerk opposition to 3DTV.With all due respect, I think you are completely wrong. 3D is no more a gimmick than surround sound or HD video were when they were in their infancy.

Now that you can get a complete, good quality system for less than $1000 I think it has reached the point of viability.
I have a couple of titles purporting to be 3D in my Blockbuster (aka Dish Platinum) queue but I've yet to get them so I don't know if they actually will be.
