This would be Nintendo's next generation of gaming console that is coming out later this year... Didn't ya know?
I'm holding out for holographic TV. I don't think 3-D TV will get too far unless they can lose the glasses. Now, when they can project the show into my living room in life like fashion I'm interested.
I don't even have a HD or plasma to throw away. I'm still waiting for my 7 year old $89 Chinese TV to croak. It could be a while. My old cheapo Zenith lasted 15 years. By the time I'm ready, the actors may be putting on the show live in my living room. (god, I hope not--I wouldn't want to know most of them) But an electric car--yes, that I'm holding out for. Not a hybrid, an electric. For that I can be an early adopter.
Lets take notice of all the dumb consumers who rush out to buy this garbage. NEW YORK (AP) -- Panasonic Corp. on Wednesday revealed the price for its first 3-D TV set, confirming that $3,000 is about what it takes to be among the first to watch 3-D movies in the home. The Japanese company put its first 3-D sets on sale at an event in New York on Wednesday. Panasonic's suggested retail price is $2,900 for a 50-inch plasma set, one pair of glasses and a 3-D Blu-ray player. An extra pair of glasses costs $150. South Korean competitor Samsung Electronics Co. announced Tuesday that its 3-D sets would go on sale this week. For $3,000, buyers get a 46-inch set, two pairs of glasses, a 3-D Blu-ray player and a 3-D copy of "Monsters vs. Aliens." There's also a 55-inch set available -- it's $3,300 for the set alone. Both manufacturers plan to expand their 3-D lines rapidly. Rivals are on their heels: LG Electronics Inc. plans to put its 3-D sets on sale in May and Sony Corp. is bringing out its 3-D sets this summer. The sets can switch between 3-D and regular 2-D mode, which doesn't require glasses. There's a dearth of movies on 3-D discs, but studios are rushing to put them out. On Wednesday, Twentieth Century Fox, the studio arm of News Corp., said it would make "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" its debut title in 3-D Blu-ray.
This is a perfect example of "You don't own the stuff; the stuff owns you" Paying all that cash for a POS dangling in front of your face, just so you can see things in 3D.
3D TV does not make any sense at this stage. only obsessive compulsives may buy them so that they could watch the same 3 movies over and over and over again. Dr. Shortie Thorndyke Out
