Do you buy 3D releases without having the proper set up? - Blu-ray Forum

Phil92 · 12-18-2010, 10:38 PM

I don't own a 3D TV and I probably won't own one for a good few years now, but I have just recently treated myself to a 3D laptop and, even though I hate watching movies on a computer, I have started buying 3D releases because it's always nice to have the option there.

No.

Tony5523 · 12-18-2010, 10:43 PM

no, dont plan on buying into the whole 3d thing...not liking it at all..even tho i know in a few years either it will go away or they will force it down our throats but im not buyin

melbye · 12-18-2010, 10:46 PM

No, cause unless there is some revolutionary eye-surgery invented i am never going to be able to enjoy it

CtrlAltDel · 12-18-2010, 10:46 PM

I'm starting to, future proofing and all that and theres not much of a cost difference if any. Despicable me for example on Blu will the same price for each version when it comes out over here next year.

bigkatninja · 12-18-2010, 10:46 PM

I love 3d at the movies but to me it can stay there. I'm fine with my regular blus

octagon · 12-18-2010, 10:47 PM

In my case a more accurate response would probably be 'No, I can put the entire purchase price toward something I'll actually watch'.

I'm fairly disinterested in 3D in general but on top of that I can't think of any 'must have' 3D titles.

Rob J in WNY · 12-18-2010, 10:52 PM

I do have a 3D setup, but don't have any 3D release BDs as of yet (save for the Panasonic demo BD which came with my player

).

I'm not chomping at the bit to garner 3D titles yet, but I could pick up one if the price really came down on a title I really want. After all, the 2D version will be included.

xradman · 12-18-2010, 11:04 PM

I don't have a 3D setup yet, but if there is a movie that I want to buy, and it's available in 3D, I will not buy the 2D only version.

coolmilo · 12-18-2010, 11:09 PM

I'll be interested in 3D at home when there is a 3D solution with Kuro quality based on Real3D polarized solution. I also need glasses with my prescription added. Active shutter gives me a headache.

We are probably about a year or two away before that happens.

HD Goofnut · 12-18-2010, 11:10 PM

No, the present home 3D model has already failed. The only 3D release I have is A Christmas Carol because it was cheaper than the BD/DVD set after Disney's $10 off coupon.

stevo4264 · 12-18-2010, 11:16 PM

No, my current setup is only about 2 years old, so I have no plans to upgrade for somtime.

carpenyx · 12-19-2010, 12:02 AM

I'd only purchase a 3D/2D Blu-ray/DVD combo if it saved me money vs. the 2D/DVD combo, otherwise I don't have much interest in 3D at the moment as it's fairly new and who knows if it'll last or not -- besides like the previous poster, my setup is new-new (like a few weeks, lol) and won't upgrade for a long while.

XRA · 12-19-2010, 12:34 AM

I can't vote, because I have the proper set-up but no 3D movies!

How do you figure it has already failed? It seems to only be growing to me. i only ask because it seems to me that most 3D haters only really seem to hate it becasue it is not a good fit for them. For those that do enjoy it, I don't see it going away any time soon.

Gardenofstone10 · 12-19-2010, 01:10 AM

Everytime new releases come out in it, like Christmas Carol or Despicable Me, I think about picking it up for the few extra bucks, but then I realize I don't have the setup for 3D and won't for AT LEAST another 6 months. I've watched only a mere 5 movies in 3D and all of them give me headaches so I'm not jumping over hurdles just yet.
