Uh, look around, jim, it works better than handing out twinkies to potheads.  People are constantly shelling out money for the newest device, the smallest streamer, the clearest TV, the most advanced console.  Ever since the 8 track the lifespan of any tech has been about 5 years before the next one is out.

Net Neutrality eh?

RayB:
Um, ... I agree with Chad.   :o

Takes a while until it reaches a critical mass though. Like for the last two years, the prices of decent sized flat screens finally came under $1000, so that was the tipping point. But LCDs and plasmas have been around how long?

Heck, I even know people who have bought HDTV flat screens and then never upgraded their cable service to actually get HD channels. So we're not done with the upgrading even for HD yet... but give it 10-15 years and 3D will be where HD is today.

ChadTower:

I have HD capable TVs but no HD signals.  The closest I come to HD is upscaled from XBMC.  My wife won't give up the multi room viewing that the old DirecTivos "provide".  I get the feeling that until DirecTV puts out a true Tivo unit with real MRV we'll be staying SD.

drventure:
Hmm, I dunno, a Holographic projector sitting in the middle of the room sure would be cool.

Or one of those "wall tvs" like has been seen in many movies. That in particular is no far off. And THAT in 3d could be.... interesting.

But I'd tend to agree that I'd almost never browse over to the 3d channel and have to put on glasses unless I was watching a movie, so it'd likely be just on demand or PPV, not subscribe to a full time channel.

But if it was a holographic projector with no glasses required? THAT I might subscribe to  :)
