Buying a 3D TV right now is a pretty large investment for just a couple of available titles (how many times can one watch "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs").

Plus, as many have known for awhile, this whole "3D glasses" thing isn't going to last - models will be out next year that don't require them (http://www.electronista.com/articles...d.tvs.in.2010/).

I wonder once the current technology is obsolete (which seems pretty soon) how much people will have paid per hour to watch 3D. If you add up the price difference in the TV and Blu-ray player, add on all the glasses, and the price of the scant few movies available, then divide by how many hours you actually watched in 3D - I bet some people will have paid $100+ an hour just to watch the same couple of movies in 3D at home.

Like any technology, early adopters are liable to get burned - and it looks like 3D is going to scortch many. I won't even consider it until an actual library of 3D films is available (i.e. 100+ titles) and they settle on a real standard that doesn't require buying $150-200 pairs of goofy glasses for everyone who may stop by my house to watch. So, in a couple of years I assume.
