I would have agreed with you before I got my new TV.

I didnt like Hobbit 3D - preferred the 2D.

But Dredd and Avatar are better in 3D for me.

This I'm willing to double dip if the steel doesn't have 3D. If I didn't get that Play.com Exclusive steel all those years ago then I wouldn't be bothered, but I can't not get a steel for this now

So glad HMV are getting this, no mother fcuking scalpers eating up 20 copies for themselves.

This would be pretty nice.



But I'd like to see a version of this poster art to match the original steel.

Yeah but that actually means these dicks have to get off their arse and actually go to a store just to be a dick

Gives everyone a fair chance really, and you get to pick one of the shelf yourself and not get the postman standing all over it

I'd be interested to know the ratio of dicks vs people who will genuinely miss out due to local store closures

HMV always packed their stuff to a high standard I thought my postie never managed to damage one from them and he is a right oaf

With the amount of Die Hard 5 doing the round on eBay I think the lazy gits got up and went to local stores and bought it in high numbers saw one guy with 45 for sale last week

Same here, no 3D = no buy.

Are you 3d haters gonna keep on with this? Its been 4 years now since 3d returned to the marketplace? Still no sign of it vanishing. Think you have to admit that its here to stay.

Are you saying that because of the active voices in this thread bemoaning 3D that it is the sign that 3D is a dying format?

If so, I hate to break it to you, but the only people nowadays who are vocal about 3D are the insufferable haters. Those who have come to accept 3D as an enjoyable form of entertainment simply don't care what other think of it and don't vocalize themselves. I know of at least 15 people at work who used to always complain about 3D and they have, in the last year to year and a half, bought a new TV that has 3D tech built in because they were the best quality 2D sets on the market. And, in doing so, of course they got curious about the 3D aspect of the TV. They all have changed their song on the subject quite drastically. They all now seek 3D content first and settle for 2D should the 3D not be available.

So, 3D is definitely is here to stay. More people are taking advantage of it everyday whether you hear from them or not.

For the record I like 3D just not the tacked on bullshit that some places pump out.
