3D televisions

Thats like saying there will never be color in movies.
Broadcast can easily be shot in 3d... "IF" they have the 3d cameras.
The main problem has been that 3d cameras were extremely expensive and
very bulky.
Price and size reduction has come down. So it then becomes a matter of cost & investment.
Anything being broadcast in 3d, can easily be viewed in 2d, by simply choosing
the left or right image signal. Meaning, it would be dead simple for non-3d viewers to view without any hassle on their part.
The other issue will be bandwidth. 3d has twice the detail needed, and thus
twice the bandwidth will be needed to carry all that detail. (not to mention the extra storage space needed to store all that data)

Strange. I also wear glasses.. and they seemed to be fine. Maybe your glasses are thicker or more heftily built.

My glasses are incredibly thin with those bendy flexible ear pieces and no frame whatsoever, just the lenses attached to the ear pieces.
My facial structure may be suspect, dunno. My friends with glasses have the same complaint.

Im with you on that. Stupid Avatar, well, stupid Hollywood. "Hey! That movie mad a shitload of money! It was in 3D! That must mean 3D movies make money! Quick! Lets make some!" Ugh. I hope it dies soon, cause Im tired of it. I just got LASIK on my eyes a few months ago, and I tried to watch Toy Story 3 in 3D and it tripped me out where I almost felt sick. :dizzy:

What's going to replace, oh great one?

You're both wrong/right.
The only thing that made a console better than a computer game was the fact that you could play it on a TV.
New TVs and computer monitors are now the same thing. Even my parents have the computer hooked into the TV to watch sports from Ireland being streamed through the internets.
It doesn't take a great one to see that standalone consoles will soon be sitting on top of the CRT televisions in the landfills.
Getting excited about the next generation console makes as much sense as getting excited about a Blockbusters opening up in your neighborhood.
