Blu-Dog: I have just recently purchased the Oppo BDP-83SE, and before I did I went to see A Christmas Carol and Avatar in 3-D to make sure that I wouldn't regret it later.
I am fine with it, and I certainly don't want this feature at home.
Still, it's sad that the studios are kind of shooting in their own legs now, because finally Blu-ray is picking up mass adoption, finally players have 2.0 profile, and all the lossless audio codecs as standard features, and now they introduce a new HDMI 1.4 spec which makes every single TV and player out there obsolete, if you want full HD 3-D.
That's just stupid!
I just hope people will ignore this nonsense, and keep buying regular players, BDs and HDTVs, and not wait several years until this has matured into sth. remotely worthwhile. This could be a disaster for Blu-ray!!!
I hope it will work out alright though.
