I can understand rerendering CGI movies to 3D (like Toy Story and Toy Story 2) since this can yield excellent results on material which already exists in 3-D space, but converting regular movies to 3D is similar to colorizing B&W movies.

Exactly. I see no good reason to go back and turn movies that were never meant to be in 3D into 3D.

The one interesting thing to me in that article was the idea of a 3D upgrade for Playstation 3. I'm not a big video game fan (I actually never even updated from PS2) but the idea of playing 3D video games is definitely the best thing I've heard out of all the recent 3D talk. I'd actually buy that.
