The point of 3D is to make money. Without 3D premiums both in the theater and home market there would be no extra money. Rarely if ever do people go to see something just because its in 3D

The term "shoved down one's throat" doesn't mean, in any way, a gun is being put to one's head. Apples & oranges there!
When I say "shoved down one's throat" I mean studios are going out of their way to advertise 3D. Actually we don't live in a "free market"...perhaps a free society, but not "free market". If we do live in a "free market", please post directions to this market as many would be interested.
Again, I understand 3D technology costs more...thusly garnering a higher consumer cost. That's why I incorporated the word "wish" in my statement about 3D vs. 2D costs.
Your last statement couldn't be further from the truth! You're not thinking "outside the box" here. People have been going, for years, to places like DisneyLand & Universal theme parks, etc. to see rides/shows in 3D. I understand this is a blu-ray forum, and not a theme park forum...but the thought process still applies.
