The first 3-D movie announcements? - Blu-ray Forum

Propellarhead9 · 12-20-2009, 07:11 PM

I think the first 3D blu-rays we'll see will be Avatar, Toy Story 3, Christmas Carol and probably another rerelease of Polar Express. Possibly with Carol and Polar packaged together.

75-100 bucks for extra glasses? I wont dismiss this until I see it but this is not an upgrade I plan to make.. being forced to wear cheap glasses to watch a film is just not my thing

I wear glasses. Trying to figure out how to put on two pair at a time fails the common sense test.

Somebody needs to figure this thing out. Every viewer would need a pair of glasses - something that simply doesn't make sense.

Too much "gimmick" in this thing to invest thousands...

Osko · 12-20-2009, 08:46 PM

Designer glasses are on the way.
Furthermore prescription 3D glasses are also planned.

ADWyatt · 12-20-2009, 08:58 PM

Blu-Dog, I'm not saying you're wrong in your outlook, but a lot of movie goers have steered past that.

Needless to say, there are certainly people who don't like watching 3D in theaters because they have to wear the 3D lenses over their glasses, and it's proven uncomfortable for them. But statistics would seem to indicate that for most people it's an acceptable part of the 3D package.

If I read correctly, I believe that every movie that has been released in today's 3D has grossed at least $100 million. And the 3D version of any particular movie far outsells its 2D print. Obviously, a lot of people are paying the extra money for 3D, and an awful lot of people wear glasses, so the math isn't hard to do here. And if I read correctly that some 50 films are going to be released in 3D in 2010, all using Real3D glasses, this can only mean that customers aren't rejecting the technology.

Someday we'll be able to watch 3D without glasses, but until then I believe that the plastic frames that will come with the new 3D BD players will work just fine for most people. And they should be a lot more comfortable than those paper red/green gimmicks that we have for Home Theater right now.

Here is what I wear with glasses. They are clip-ons and comfortable

ADWyatt · 12-22-2009, 03:22 AM

JimShaw, the info you need on 3D glasses, at least from Sony, can be found at this site...

You might also note that these glasses can be used for 3D TV broadcasts, and apparently there will be a 3D network starting up sometime in the future.

Whether 3D catches on with the public, or becomes nothing more than a niche market, one thing is certain--Sony is really pulling out the stops when it comes to this technology. Still fresh from their victory in the HD disc war, they are apparently pouring millions into what they feel is a format that the buying public will embrace. Since I love 3D, I'm hoping they succeed.

swifty7 · 12-22-2009, 03:58 AM

I hope 3-D takes off like wild fire.

What, Warner and Disney packaged together?...Um, no.

And PX can only come out at Christmas, so that one's a given but won't be out till Nov. '10.
Now, Dreamworks trying to get into the game and grab attention with their delayed "Monsters vs. Aliens", and a promise that they'll do some Really Neat Stuff for "How to Train Your Dragon", OTOH...

Todd Smith · 12-20-2009, 07:30 PM

I am looking forward to this since this would be a blast for HT!

I want to see what projector options will be available (even though I wont be making a purchase for a few years at least) for when I upgrade my RS1.

Freekman · 12-20-2009, 07:56 PM

I am excited to see what 3D has in store for us in 2010. Hopefully CES will bring to light just how awesome it's going to be. Can't wait to hear more!

Canada · 12-20-2009, 08:01 PM

the glasses you get for home will have to be a lot more comfortable than the ones you get in the theaters.

No doubt. I surely wont be able to afford a 3d projector for a while. Something to look forward to though

Just like in the theaters, the glasses will fit over your own. There will be discounted multipacks as well.

Spymaster · 12-20-2009, 11:19 PM

I may be completely off the mark here, but I'd guess the first generation of 3-D TVs will be anything up to $1000 more than regular TVs. And BD players will be about $500 more.

I doubt it, the new players will have to compete with the PS3, which is already confirmed to be compatible; as for the TVs, maybe, but I think the extra cost will be mostly in the glasses and synch device since the internal tech is the same as existing panels.
