It's no more of a gimmick than other things that have become available over the last 5 or so years, guitar hero, singstar, move, kinect, laptops, ipods etc, and people love them. To be honest it's really not a gimmick this time around, studio's and electronic manufactures aren't playing games with new 3d tech. I thought exactly like u do up until a few months ago when I decided to upgrade my tv because I wanted the next screen size up, I prefer a silver finish to black, so I decided on the Samsung c8000 series 3dtv. The c8000 series has it flaws, but it still looks amazing when playing back 3d in most cases, though not as good as the Panasonic's due to more visible crosstalk/ghosting. Ghosting on the c8000 isn't as bad as some people make out, there was barely any in avatar 3d and how to train your dragon 3d and most other titles I've seen in 3d, with the exception of sharks, dolphins and whales, and oceanic 3d which had some really bad crosstalk issues.
If u saw it at home on a properly calibrated set, then I think u would understand it a bit more, and would realize that it's not going to die anytime soon. Now if u are going to start complaining about the glasses next, don't, because I also used to be one of the people complaining about having to wear 3d glasses too, but now that I own a 3dtv, I know that I was complaining about nothing, as the glasses are very comfortable light weight, and fit over prescription glasses with no problems. 3d is something you're going to use a few times a week, it's not like you're going to watch every show in 3d, so putting the glasses on every so often is not really a big deal, unless you're so vein where u carry a mirror in your pocket. The only time most people should have a problem with the glasses, is if they have young kids and are worried they might break them.

I watched a segment of Avatar 3D on a store demonstration system and I was'nt at all thrilled by it.

It's a bit dump to make your mind up based on what u have seen in a store, because their tv's are generally in area's that are lit up like someones house on Christmas eve and are never calibrated properly, so of course 3d isn't always going to look great in a store. Wait until u see it at home though, on a properly calibrated tv, I think your opinion will change. Avatar 3D looks really good at home, not every scene is going to pop out at u like somethings about to hit your face, it's not meant to have that effect all the time. All it's supposed to do is give real depth, like how we see in real life, we see in 3d everyday.
Though things do pop out of the screen and seem like they are right in front of u from time to time, like in the scene from Avatar where Nari see's Jake for the 1st time running around in the jungle and goes to shoot him with an arrow, the branches of the tree's and her arrow pop out as if u are right there in the jungle with them. Once a friend of yours buys a 3dtv then go to his/her's place and watch a 3d blu-ray which was filmed in 3d not converted, only then can u make your mind up on whether u like 3d at home or not, because u really can't form an opinion if all you're going off is what u have seen in stores. If u still don't like 3d at home after that then that's fair enough, but u shouldn't be making comments about something that u really don't know much about until u have experienced it properly!

3D causing problems for me in this hobby
Personally I like to choose pacakaging AND content whenever I can, but if I have to choose I go with the content I want... and then get the package later and swap it out.
