| Posted: | | | | But honestly.. who will throw away their TV and BD Player and replace 'em with a 3D capable one in the near future?
Hmm I will wait at least until 2011 to do it.. And I am sure that Invelos will be quick to add the new formats | | | Check out my Youtube channel under https://www.youtube.com/user/alittleolder |

Certainly not me, I can tell you that much. I've made topic about this at Blu-ray.com. The timing to introduce HD 3D couldn't have been worse. It's too close to the introduction of HD. A lot of people, myself including, have already invested in a new HDTV, receiver (for lossless audio) and BD-player in the past 3 years or so. Now, they expect us to replace all that equipment yet again just to have 3D? That's out of my budget. 3D will have to wait a couple of years before being introduced into our household, I'm afraid. | | | Blu-ray collection DVD collection My Games My Trophies |

| Posted: | | | | It is possible to take requiring a new receiver out of the equation. Some of the new Panasonic 3D Blu-ray players have two HDMI ports, one 1.4 connection for a 3D TV and one 1.3 connection for those with older receivers. That would knock off a fair amount from the upgrade cost if people were looking to upgrade now. |

| Posted: | | | | 3D = much ado about nothing I enjoy the 3D experience at IMAX or a regular big screen theater, but I could really care less about all the home theater 3D hype. A great way for manufacturers to sell more displays, BD players and A/V equipment, but really nothing else. The 2D Blu-ray of Avatar looks FANTASTIC, and while I enjoyed the 3D version in theaters I don't see any reason to upgrade for home 3D. Just my opinion. |

If you would buy a Panasonic 3D BD Player you could keep at least your receiver, because their players come with 2 HDMI outputs.. (The Samsung 3D 6900 sadly only comes with one.. So if you get that one you would need a new receiver too) Well I am gonna wait a while.. 3D seems to pop up every couple of years and then it's gone again.. But of course this time it's supported by practically the whole industry | | | Check out my Youtube channel under https://www.youtube.com/user/alittleolder |

| Posted: | | | | Here is another pretty interesting review Monsters vs. Aliens 3D ReviewOf course you can currently only get this title exclusively with Samsung Equipment.. But this review also covers a lot of general 3D information that one might find interesting.. | | | Check out my Youtube channel under https://www.youtube.com/user/alittleolder |

| Posted: | | | | Good suggestion, Stephan! Getting a BD player that has dual HDMI out (with one of them being 1.3 for the sound only) could potentially reduce the cost as I woudn't have to buy a new receiver (my current one isn't even a year old!). I might invest in it then when prices of the TV's goes down and more titles are available. Speaking of which, Sony is pushing ahead full force with the whole 3D thing. Two more titles have been announced and I'm a bit surprised to see they are titles that didn't have a theatrical 3D run (at least, I think Open Season didn't). It also looks they'll stick with the clear cases, 3D Blu-ray logo and covers that have a pseudo transparent/3D effect (which I actually kinda like). I haven't bought those two titles on BD yet, so I think I might as well get these editions when they come out | | | Blu-ray collection DVD collection My Games My Trophies | | | Last edited: by Taro |

Then I guess they must be 3-D titles. In the theaters where I live they didn't come out in 3-D, which led me to believe they weren't released as such.

| Posted: | | | | I'm looking at moving home in the next 12 months and converting one of the rooms into a cinema, so if the 3D option is within my budget I may get a 3D projector if they're available. | | | MY COLLECTION

| Posted: | | | | 3D (with 3D glasses) is annoying for those who already wear glasses (at least for me).
As for DVDP, it sounds like it may be better fit to a feature switch over a new media type. |
