No, the stupid U.S. 3D delay is to "milk the cow" (as Ernest Rister put it in the other Frozen thread) by double-dipping it on BD3D in the fall. (Edit: Think Avatar, since Frozen's worldwide box office is heading to Cameron-esque levels.) Based on last year's The Jungle Book I suspect the UK BD3D may be region-locked ( never fully trust Amazon on region coding), but I can handle that. For now I'd rather double-dip with the Vudu in-store preorder (early 2D download, hopefully add Google Play with DC+ code for my Nook HD) plus UK BD3D than support Vudu's highway-robbery 3D library OR wait for the U.S. BD3D. (Of course I could change my mind, but then I still have my Mexican Dumbo BD and have NO intent of ever buying the U.S. BD.  )

Disney is dreaming if they think 3D streaming is going to catch on and be accepted. The price points on VUDU for Frozen 3D is $5-$6 for rental and $35 for owning! WOW!! have any of you actually tried 3D on streaming? Its TERRIBLE, its so compressed, and if you are used to Blu-ray you will find it unwatchable. Just go to vudu and you can try a free sample of Tangled 3D
