NOT TRUE

I can personally testify 3D discs play in any Blu-Ray capable device in 2D just fine without any hitches. So many on this forum have doubted this and I don't know why? 3D Full HD discs are made of two independent eye views. One left eye view is identical to a standard 2D 1080p Blu-Ray and a right eye view for depth. The disc simply feeds the left eye view only to the 2D player which easily downconverts the 3D disc to 2D. Its similar to how DVD players easily downconverted anamorphic DVDs to 4:3 displays without a hitch. This is why 3D Full HD discs don't need separate 2D versions.
